Maintenance
The drive mainly comprises electronic components. Apart from the fan(s), the unit contains
very few components that are subject to wear or require maintenance or servicing. The
purpose of maintenance is to maintain the drive condition as per specification. Dirt and
contamination must be removed regularly and parts subject to wear replaced.
The following points must generally be observed.
11.2.1
Cleaning
Dust deposits
Dust deposits inside the drive must be removed at regular intervals (or at least once a year)
by qualified personnel in line with the relevant safety regulations. The unit must be cleaned
with a brush and vacuum cleaner and for inaccessible areas with dry compressed air (max.
14.5 Psi (1 bar)).
Ventilation
The ventilation openings in the enclosure must never be obstructed. The fan must be
checked to make sure that it is functioning correctly.
Cable and screw terminals
Cable and screw terminals must be checked regularly to ensure that they are securely in
position and retightened if necessary. Cabling must be checked for defects. Defective parts
must be replaced immediately.
Note
Maintenance intervals
The actual intervals at which maintenance procedures are to be performed depend on the
installation conditions (cabinet environment) and the operating conditions.
Siemens offers its customers support in the form of a service contract. For further details,
