(c) Precautions for wiring
The cables between the servo amplifier and the brake unit, and between the resistor unit and the
brake unit should be as short as possible. Always twist the cable longer than 5m (twist five times
or more per one meter). Even when the cable is twisted, the cable should be less than 10m. Using
cables longer than 5m without twisting or twisted cables longer than 10m, may result in the brake
unit malfunction.
