WARNING
■Option Label Warnings
Always heed the warning information listed in Figure 1 in the position shown in Figure 2.
Installing a CDBR Braking Unit or an LKEB Braking Resistor Unit helps dissipate
regenerative energy from the motor. This is useful in applications that require sudden
deceleration and frequent stops and it allows for shorter deceleration times in applications
running heavy loads.
◆ Applicable Models
■CDBR Braking Unit
The CDBR Braking Unit is designed for use with the drive models in Tabl e 1. Contact
Yaskawa or your Yaskawa agent for other drives. Also may be used as a replacement for
CDBR spec.B type. Contact your Yaskawa representative for more information.
Please perform the following tasks upon receiving the option:
• Inspect the option for damage. Contact the shipper immediately if the option appears
damaged upon receipt.
• Verify receipt of the correct model by checking the model number printed on the option
nameplate. (Refer to Figure 5 on page 14 for more information)
• Contact your supplier if you have received the wrong model or the option does not
function properly.
Do not allow unqualified personnel to use equipment.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Maintenance, inspection, and replacement of parts must be performed only by authorized
personnel familiar with installation, adjustment, and maintenance of this product.
