13. The trim potentiometer indicated by reference
designator P1 is used to adjust the brake module turn
on voltage. This level is set at t he factory and under
normal operation, does not need to be adjusted.

Operational Check

NOTE: During the dynamic braking operation, the
operation indicating (“BRAKE”) lamp in the braking
unit lights.

14. During dynamic braking operations, make sure
that the required deceleration characteristic is
obtained. If not, contact

Yaskawa

for assistance.

CAUTION

DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE BRAKING
UNIT AND THE BRAKING RESISTOR UNIT MUST
BE KEPT CLOSED, SINCE HIGH VOLTAGE IS
APPLIED TO THE DYNAMIC BRAKING CIRCUIT.

15. Reinstall and secure front covers on drive and
braking unit(s), and close and secure the terminal
box(es) on the braking resistor unit(s).

16. Place this instruction sheet with the drive Technical
Manual.

This completes the installation of this option.

TROUBLESHOOTING

To troubleshoot the dynamic braking circuit (braking unit
and braking resistor unit), refer to Table 4.
