CAUTION:
Controller and AC power supply should be operating in a
well ventilated area. Do not use in a wet, dirty, or explosive
environment. In industrial environments, repackaging into
a NEMA grade enclosure is required.
Do not disconnect motor while running. Keep Motor and
Limit cables minimum of 2” apart . Only operate with
designated motor. Do not alter cables in any way without
first consulting Velmex

WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE COVERS ON POWER
SUPPLY OR CONTROLLER. THERE ARE NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Any servicing should be
done by Velmex qualified service personnel.
CAUTION:
THE VXM MUST BE SET TO THE EXACT
MODEL/TYPE MOTOR(S) BEFORE
OPERATING.
IMPROPER SETTINGS CAN CAUSE
SEVERE DAMAGE TO MOTORS AND
CONTROLLER.
Use Velmex COSMOS software to
configure VXM before use.
CAUTION:
MOTOR(S) GET HOT WHEN RUNNING.
Motor(s) must be mounted to a metal surface
to dissipate internal heat.

Motors mounted to Velmex actuators/positioners will usually provide
sufficient heat dissipation. Motor surface temperature should not exceed
152° F (70° C.) In continuous duty applications when the motor is not
mounted to a suitable heat dissipating device, motor surface temperature
could exceed 152° F (70° C.)
