2.4 Elimination of Heat
EM870S’s working temperature is less than 60
℃
(140°F)
It is recommended to use automatic idle-current mode to reduce motor heating. That means set the SW4 pin of
DIP switch at “OFF” position.
It is recommended to mount the drive vertically to maximize heat sink area. Use forced cooling method to cool if
necessary.

Connectors, DIP switches, and LED locations
The EM870S has 5 connectors P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5, 3 DIP switches S1, S2 and S3. P1 is for control signal
connections, P2 is for fault output, P3 is for power connection, P4 is for motor connection and P5 is for fine tuning.
