Safety information
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive
has been energised, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Refer to section 3.1 Safety information in the Unidrive SP User Guide.
WARNING
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink and heatsink mounted braking resistor can reach
temperatures in excess of 70°C (158°F). Human contact with the heatsink and heatsink braking resistor should be restricted.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire when the drive is surface mounted with the braking resistor fitted, the back plate should be a non-flammable
material.
WARNING
Introduction
This braking resistor has been especially designed to be mounted within the heatsink of the Unidrive SP size 2. The design of the resistor is such that
no thermal protection circuit is required, as the device will fail safely under fault conditions. The in built software overload protection is set up at default
to protect the braking resistor.

To remove the DC terminal cover, undo the screw
and lift off as shown in the diagram opposite.
When replacing the terminal covers the screws
should be tightened to a maximum torque of 1 N m
(0.7 lb ft).
The two break-outs that line up with the BR and
DC2 terminal connections must be removed, as
shown in the diagram opposite.
Grasp the 48V/DC terminal cover break-outs with
pliers and twist to remove.
Remove any flash / sharp edges once the break-
outs are removed.
Lift the hinged fan baffle by pushing plastic tabs in
the direction shown (1). Push tab in the direction
shown (2), and lift the baffle as shown (3).
Remove the metal heatsink baffle plate by
removing the two screws. These two screws are no
longer required.
Remove 5mm (0.197in) from the length of the clip
on the plastic fan baffle.
