Twist the connection cable. In case of extension of the connection cable, shield
the cable and connect it on both sides.

NOTICE
Only intrinsically safe braking resistors permitted !
Only "intrinsically safe" braking resistors are permissible for this oper-
ation, since these resistors interrupt themselves at fault such as safety
fusewithoutrerisk.
