* Side mounting recommended for better heat dissipation 

2.4 Elimination of Heat   

 

DM556T reliable working temperature should be < 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.
