Troubleshooting - Hitachi HBU-2015 Instruction Manual

IV. Troubleshooting
The internal protection circuit of the braking unit will cause it to shut down in the case of any internal malfunction.
Should this occur, it would likely result in an over voltage trip on the inverter.
In case of difficulty, use the table below to try to find possible solutions. Should this not resolve the problem, please
contact your Hitachi distributor for further assistance.

Solution
Check the wiring
Confirm that the jumper is
set for "MASTER"
Change the braking unit
Examine the braking
resistance and its connection.
Check that AC supply is
within spec
Recheck connections
Examine the design and
recalculate it.
