Remote Mount Resistor Unit Installation Using Internal Braking Transistor
(for P7U20P4 thru P7U2018 and P7U40P4 thru P7U4018)
Since the Remote Mount Resistor Unit generates heat during dynamic braking operation, install it in a location away from
other equipment.
1. Install the Remote Mount Resistor Unit to a non-combustible surface, maintaining a minimum 1.97 inches (50mm)
clearance on each side and a minimum 7.87 inches (200mm) clearance on top.
2. Remove the Remote Mount Resistor Unit cover to access its terminal block. Connect the Remote Mount Resistor Unit to the
Drive and to external control circuitry according to Fig 2.6 below.
