gravity. Please refer to par. 6.2 Risks associated with the Robot
handling with Control Unit disconnected on page 39.
–The brake release Module C5G-OBR option includes a movable plug
suitable for the panel socket located on the module rear side. Before the first
usage, prepare a powering cable with plug suitable for the power supply source
available in the operating area.
– Power the module (from 100 to 230 Vac, 1.5 A @ 120 Vac / 0.7 A @ 230 Vac).
The cable section shall be at least 0.5 mm² / 20 AWG. Adjust the section
according to the cable length and guard up the system.
Make sure the powering network voltage is suitable for the brake
releasing device.
Operating procedure
