OVERHEATING
When you connect and operate motors with built-in brakes,
be aware of the hazard of overheating. The energy to release the brakes
is taken from the motor connection cables, which can cause asymmetrical
power consumption and result in overheating.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Activate external brakes by using a separate contactor, such as TeSys D.
