About this manual

This manual explains the safety precautions and required qualifications for installing, adjusting, repairing, and maintaining the Altivar 71 network braking unit. It emphasizes the need to disconnect power, use insulated tools, and verify that DC bus voltage is below 45 VDC before any work.

The guide covers step‑by‑step setup, including checking the catalog number, verifying line voltage compatibility, mounting the unit, wiring to a three‑phase supply, connecting to the drive DC bus and control cable, and performing starting tests. Additional sections address sizing, dimensions, mounting conditions, electrical installation recommendations, EMC considerations, and troubleshooting procedures.
