Revision 10/2005, BE13, SW V4.08 8-1Chapter 8 Maintenance and InspectionsModern AC motor drives are based on solid state electronics technology. Preventive maintenance is requiredto operate this AC motor drive in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long life. It is recommended to have acheck-up of the AC motor drive performed by a qualified technician.Daily Inspection:Basic check-up items to detect if there were any abnormalities during operation are:1. Whether the motors are operating as expected.2. Whether the installation environment is abnormal.3. Whether the cooling system is operating as expected.4. Whether any irregular vibration or sound occurred during operation.5. Whether the motors are overheating during operation.6. Always check the input voltage of the AC drive with a Voltmeter.Periodic Inspection:Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least 10minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fullydischarged by measuring the voltage between +1/+2 and -. The voltage between +1/+2 and - should beless than 25VDC.DANGER!1. Disconnect AC power before processing!2. Only qualified personnel can install, wire and maintain AC motor drives. Please take off any metalobjects, such as watches and rings, before operation. And only insulated tools are allowed.3. Never reassemble internal components or wiring.4. Prevent electric shocks.
