Quick Start
CAUTION
!
The voltage output on the “Motor +” and “Motor -“ pins can be as high as the
supply voltage used. If using a non-standard power supply for the Mercury™
and a motor that connects to these lines (i.e. without separate PWM
amplifier), make sure the motor’s operating voltage will not be exceeded.
