Carefully read this manual and other precautionary documents that came with the dynamic
braking unit before installing, operating or maintaining this unit. Familiarize yourself with the
device specifications, safety precautions, and handling and operating procedures and use this
device correctly.
This manual uses two symbols, the first informs of malfunctions and the second indicates danger
of personal injury or property damage.
This safety reminder indicates potentially life-threatening situations.
DANGER
If these instructions are not followed serious injury and in extreme
cases, death could occur.
CAUTION
If these instructions are not followed minor or serious injury and/or
property damage could occur.
Be sure to follow these instructions carefully when you see these symbols.
Also read and follow the instructions for all "Notes" and "Remarks."
1. Installation
CAUTION
l Mount the dynamic braking unit on a fireproof wall (e.g. metallic wall) or a fire may
occur.
(See page 2.)
lKeep the dynamic braking unit away from combustible or flammable materials or a fire
may occur.
(See page 2.)
lNever hold the dynamic braking unit by the front cover when carrying it. It could fall
and an injury could occur.
(See page 2.)
lNever allow any wires, dust, welding spatters, iron filings, or other materials to get into
the unit or a fire may occur.
(See page 2.)
lThe dynamic braking unit is very heavy. Install the unit on a solid rigid wall strong
enough to support it. Otherwise, it could fall and an injury may occur.
(See page 2.)
lDo not use any inverter that is partially damaged or incomplete or an injury may occur.
(See page 2.)
lAvoid any dangerous environment
Do not place the dynamic braking unit in hot, damp, or wet locations. Don't use the
dynamic braking unit in the presence of dust, corrosive gases, explosive gases,
flammable gases, oil mist, or salt. Keep the dynamic braking unit out of direct
sunlight.

2. Wiring
Title: (Danger.eps)
Creator: Adobe Illustrator(TM) 7.0
Title: (Triangle.eps)
Creator: Adobe Illustrator(TM) 5.5
DANGER
l Always connect the grounding wire to the dynamic braking unit to prevent electric
shock or fire.
(See page 3.)
lAll wiring should be done by a qualified electrician or electric shock or fire may occur.
(See page 3.)
lBefore wiring, make sure the supply power is off (or the P-N voltage is 45 V or less) to
prevent electric shock or fire.
(See page 3.)
lAlways install the dynamic braking unit on the wall before wiring to prevent electric
shock and personal injury.
(See page 3.)
lBe sure to provide a thermal relay and a circuit, which shuts off primary power to the
inverter. This is to prevent burning-out the external resistor due to overheating if the
dynamic braking unit malfunctions.
(See page 3.)
For actual connections, see 4.3 and 4.4.
(See page 3.)
CAUTION
l Make sure the voltage rating of the dynamic braking unit is equal to that of the inverter
to prevent fire and personal injury.
(See page 3.)
lDo not connect resistors directly to the D.C. terminals (P and N) or fire may occur.
(See page 3.)
lTighten screws at their correct specified torque (see table on right). Make sure every
screw is firmly tightened or fire may occur.
(See page 3.)
lThe power cables should be MLFC flame-retardant poly-flex wire, allowing a voltage
of 600 V and capable of the specified amperage or fire may occur.
(See page 3.)

DANGER
l Be sure the front cover on the dynamic braking unit is attached before turning on the
power. Never remove the cover of the dynamic braking unit or you may receive an
electric shock
(See page 11.)
lDo not operate with wet hands or you may receive an electric shock.
(See page 3.)
lNever touch any terminal of the dynamic braking unit while the unit power is on (even
when the unit has stopped) or you may receive an electric shock.
(See page 3.)
lNever touch any part or put anything in the dynamic braking unit while the unit's power
is on or you may receive an electric shock or cause a fire.
(See page 3.)
CAUTION
l The heat radiating fins and the discharging resistors during use are hot and can cause
burns. Do not touch.
4. Maintenance, inspection and part replacement
DANGER
l Be sure to turn off the supply power. (Make sure that the DC voltage between
terminals P and N is 45 volts or less.) Otherwise, you may receive a serious electric
shock.
(See page 24.)
lOnly an authorized electrician is allowed to check, maintain, and replace parts of the
dynamic braking unit.
(Take off all metallic accessories such as watches and jewelry before operating.)
(Use the insulated tools.)
Otherwise, you may receive a serious electric shock or personal injury.

1. UNPACKING INSPECTION
Handle the product with care when unpacking. Do not use any excessive force (impacts,
vibration, etc.) on the package. Check the following:
(1) Package damage occurring during delivery
(2) Model name, voltage, etc. (order confirmation)
(3) List of accessories (including operation manual)
2. IMPORTANT NOTICES
Note the following to improve and perform safe operation of the dynamic braking unit:
DANGER
l Never alter or modify the dynamic braking unit.
Improper servicing may cause serious electric shock and/or personal injury.
Note: Do not use the BRD-E2/E2Z braking unit in combination with earlier versions, (e.g.
BRD-VZ or BRD-C1). The operating voltages and terminal configurations are
different and may cause the dynamic braking units to malfunction.
Note: Set the DIP switches and connect the wires correctly when setting or changing the
operating voltage or when running devices in a parallel connection. Be sure to turn
off power to the dynamic braking unit before setting the DIP switches and the
connecting wires. (For more information, see "4. Wiring and Function Setting.")
Note: Check wirings and connections carefully. If they are correct you can turn on the
power to the inverter.

4.1Wiring Notices
DANGER
l Always connect the grounding wire to the dynamic braking unit to prevent electric
shock or fire.
l All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician or electric shock or fire may occur.
l Before wiring, make sure the supply power is off (or the P-N voltage is 45 V or less) to
prevent electric shock or fire.
l Always install the dynamic braking unit on the wall before wiring to prevent electric
shock and personal injury.
l Be sure to provide a thermal relay and a circuit, which shuts off primary power to the
inverter. This is to prevent burning-out the external single resistor due to overheating
if the dynamic braking unit malfunctions.
For actual connections, see 4.3 and 4.4.
CAUTION
l Make sure the voltage rating of the dynamic braking unit is equal to that of the inverter
to prevent fire and personal injury.
l Do not connect resistors directly to the D.C. terminals
(P and N) or fire may occur.
l Tighten screws at their correct specified torque (see
table on right). Make sure every screw is firmly
tightened or fire may occur.
l The power cables should be MLFC flame-retardant
poly-flex wire, allowing a voltage of 600 V and capable
of the specified amperage or fire may occur.
Notes:
1. Be sure to provide alarm contacts (AL1 and AL2) and a circuit, which shuts off
primary power to the inverter to prevent overheating and burning if the dynamic
braking unit malfunctions.

2. Use cables at their specified ratings as short as possible: up to 5 meters between the
Inverter
dynamic braking unit and the inverter (P, N) and up to 50 meters between the dynamic
braking unit and the discharging resistor (P, RB) (or up to 5 meters for the EZ2-30K).
Also make the wire connections as short as possible. Do not loop extra cable.

The cables must be tied together and supported firmly so there is no excessive load on
the dynamic braking unit.
3. When the parallel connection interlocking function is used, signal cables (MA1, MA2,
SL1, and SL2) between the dynamic braking units must be no more than five meters in
length and no more than 0.75 mm2 in width in its section area. The signal cable must
be fully separated from the main circuit cable.
Signal cableMain circuit cable
10 cm or more
4. When a combination of various resistors are used, the inductance in the resistors may
raise the surge voltage during the switching operation. To prevent this, use larger
cables or twist them.
Always use up to six non-induction resistors as external resistors.
5. Use insulated crimping terminals to connect the cables to the terminal board TM1 (or
TM2 of the EZ2).
6. Use closed-loop terminals with insulated caps to connect cables to the terminal board
TM2 (or TM3 of the EZ2).
