  An unscheduled shutdown of the Power Automation Control Unit may occur due to overheating or a missing power supply. To resolve overheating, ensure that spacing requirements within the cabinet are met, the ambient temperature is within specified limits, and that none of the vents are blocked. Also, verify the fans are working. If the power supply is the issue, check if the power supply wiring is set up correctly and ensure that the external main power supply is working.

  If you suspect missing RF noise suppression, check if the noise suppression components are connected directly at the noise source. Also, verify if the power and signal lines are conducted separately with a distance of at least 10 cm. When using mechanical cable guides, install additional metal shields.
