Notice
Operation without dynamic loads (functioning as a pure holding brake)
¾
If the brake is used as a pure holding brake without dynamic load, the friction lining must
be reactivated regularly.
NOTICE
In case of high humidity: If condensed water and moisture are present, provide an appro-
priate ventilation for the brake to ensure that all friction components dry quickly.
At high humidity and low temperatures: Take measures to ensure that the armature plate
and rotor do not freeze.
7.2
Function checks before initial commissioning
DANGER
Danger: rotating parts!
¾
The brake must be free of residual torque.
¾
The drive must not be running when checking the brake.

–
Do not
disconnect the supply connections to the brake.
– If the rectifier for the brake supply is connected to the neutral point of the motor,
also
connect the
neutral conductor to this connection.
