8.1 Daily Maintenance
The inverter must be operated in the specified environment (refer to section 3.2, page 11).
Besides, some unexpected accidents may occur during operation.
Therefore you should maintain the inverter conditions according to the Table 8-1, record the
operation data, and investigate problems immediately.

8.2 Periodical Maintenance
Customer should check the inverter in short time or every 3 to 6 months according to the actual
environment so as to avoid hidden problems and make sure the inverter runs well for a long time.
General Inspection:
• Check whether the screws of control terminals are loose. If so, tighten them with a screw
driver;
• Check whether the main circuit terminals are properly connected; whether the mains cables
are over heated;
• Check whether the power cables and control cables are damaged, check especially for any
wear on the cable tube;
• Check whether the insulating tapes around the cable lugs are stripped, and for signs of
overheating near terminations;
• Clean the dust on PCBs and air ducts with a vacuum cleaner;
Note:
1. Dielectric strength test of the inverter has already been conducted in the factory. Do not do the
test again. Otherwise, the inverter might be damaged.
2. If insulation test to the motor is necessary, it should be done after the motor’s input terminals U,
V, W have been detached from the inverter. Otherwise, the inverter will be damaged.
3. For inverters that have been stored for a long time, they must be powered up every 2 years.
When supplying AC power to the inverter, use a voltage regulator to gradually raise the input
voltage to rated input voltage at least 5 hours.
