and contamination must be removed regularly and parts subject to wear replaced. The
Power Module comprises mostly electronic components. Apart from the fan(s), the unit,
therefore, contains hardly any components that are subject to wear or that require
maintenance or servicing.
The following points must generally be observed.

Ventilation
When installing the devices, make sure that the ventilation slots are not 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 secure in
position, and if necessary, retightened. Cabling must be checked for defects. Defective parts
must be replaced immediately.
Note
The actual intervals at which maintenance procedures are to be performed depend on the
installation conditions and the operating conditions.
