WARNING
Electric shock as a result of a residual charge in power components
After the power supply has been switched o󹪜, it takes up to 5 minutes until the capacitors in the
converter have discharged so that the residual charge is at a non-hazardous level. Therefore,
touching the converter immediately after powering o󹪜 can result in electric shock due to
residual charge in the power components.
• Check the voltage at the converter connections before you connect the external braking
resistor.

Procedure
1. Switch o󹪜 all power supplies (line supply and external 24 V power supply) to the converter.
2. Wait 5 minutes to allow the converter to discharge and check that no voltage is present at the
converter connections.
3. Release the retaining screws (6 x M4) on the Electronic Module by using a 3 mm allen key, and
remove the module.
