Chapter 9 Maintain and Troubleshoot Your Kinetix 3 Servo Drive
Maintaining Your Kinetix 3
Drive
The Kinetix 3 is designed to function with a minimum of maintenance.
Consider these guidelines to maintain your Kinetix 3 drive:
• Clean the drive periodically, by using an OSHA approved nozzle that
provides compressed air under low pressure, less than 20 kPa (30 psi), to
blow the exterior surface and the vents clean.
• Visually inspect all cables for abrasion.
• Inspect cable connectors for proper seating and signal continuity end-to-
end.
General Troubleshooting
Refer to the Fault Codes section below to identify anomalies, potential causes,
and appropriate actions to resolve the anomalies. If anomalies persist after
attempting to troubleshoot the system, please contact your Allen-Bradley
representative for further assistance. To determine if your Kinetix 3 drive has an
error, refer to the table immediately below.
