A good practice to follow is to check for power at the 
lead wires to the clutch or brake using a voltmeter .

•  If power is present in the proper voltage and 

current, then skip ahead to the Mechanical 
Troubleshooting Section .

•  If power is not present, inspect the lead wires for 

breaks or cuts .

•  If the wires are intact, the problem may be with 

the power supply or the switch .

•  Using a voltmeter, check to see that voltage is 

leaving the power supply and that the switch is 
sending power to the clutch or brake .

•  Finally, if there is no power leaving the switch or 

power supply, check the incoming AC power to 
insure that it is reaching the power supply .

Troubleshooting - Mechanical

A likely mechanical cause for a clutch or brake not 
engaging when DC power is applied is that the air-
gap between the friction faces is too large . When 
power is applied to an Electro-magnetic clutch/brake, 
the unit magnetically clamps the friction faces togeth-
er . An airgap that is too large can keep the unit from 
clamping together . If the airgap is too small the faces 
will rub all of the time .

To adjust the airgap, see Section C on page 5 .

 

Enclosed Electro-Module Options

Vented Warner Electric Electro-Module and base 
assemblies can be oriented as necessary to keep 
contaminates from entering the open housing vents .

If an Enclosed Electro-Module (10-20, 10-40, 20-30, 
30-40, 10-20FBC, 20FBC-30) is required an optional 
Cover Kit, Warner Electric part number 5370-101-
076, can be purchased separately to enclose the 
open vents in the housing . Each Cover Kit includes 
two (2) vent covers and four (4) screws needed to 
convert a vented Electro-Module to an enclosed 
design (non-washdown) as shown in Figure 12a .
