Chapter 3: Maintenance

DANGER: Before you open the XR3 chassis, you must disconnect the Mains power connection.
DANGER: All tests must be done by an approved service technician. Voltages inside the
controller and at the input and output power connections can kill you.

3.1. Preventative Maintenance

Do an inspection of the XR3 and the external wiring one time each month. It might be necessary to do more
frequent inspections based on:
The operating conditions of the system.
l
How you use the system.

Table 3-1: Preventative Maintenance
Check
Examine the chassis for hardware and parts that are
damaged or loose.
It is not necessary to do an internal inspection
unless you think internal damage occurred.
Do an inspection of the cooling vents.
Examine the work area to make sure there are no
fluids and no electrically conductive materials.
Examine all cables and connections to make sure
they are correct.
Cleaning
DANGER: Before you clean the XR3, disconnect the electrical power from the drive.
Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to clean the chassis of the XR3. If necessary, you can use a cloth that is moist
with water or isopropyl alcohol. If you use a moist cloth, make sure that moisture does not go into the XR3.
Also make sure that it does not go onto the outer connectors and components.
Do not use fluids and sprays to clean the XR3 because they can easily go into the chassis or onto the outer
connectors and components. If a cleaning solution goes into the XR3, internal contamination can cause
corrosion and electrical short circuits.
Do not clean the labels with a cleaning solution because it might remove the label information.
