Service and maintenance
The Power Module primarily consists of maintenance-free, electronic components.
Some of the mechanical parts are wearing parts and have to be replaced at certain
intervals.
The following maintenance procedures essentially arise:
1. Regularly remove dirt and impurities in order to ensure that cooling works
effectively.
2. Regularly check that the fans are working properly.
3. Ensure that the cabinet's ventilation slots are not blocked.
4. Regularly check that the cables and screw terminals are correctly fixed in
place.
5. If necessary, re-tighten the fastenings for the cables and screw terminals.
6. Check the cables and screw terminals regularly for damage.
7. Replace any defective parts immediately.
8. Replace wearing parts which are worn.
The actual maintenance intervals depend on the installation and operating
conditions.
Siemens offers its customers tailo
-made maintenance contracts. For more
information, please contact your local Siemens representative.
Service life of the fan
The average service life of fans is 40 000 hours. In practice, the service life may
differ from this value, in particular in dusty environments.
The fan must be replaced in good time in order to ensure that the drive remains
ready for operation.
