2.4 IDENTIFICATION LABELS FOR
THE CFW-11 RB on page 2-9)
Supply the CFW-11 RB (at the +UD and -UD terminal) with a
voltage 250 to 350 Vdc, during 1 hour at least. Then, disconnect
the power supply and wait at least 24 hours before using the
converter (reapply power)

Every 10 years Contact WEG technical support to obtain replacement procedures
(1) The converter are factory set for automatic fan control (P0352=2), which means that they will be turned on only when the heatsink temperature exceeds a
reference value. Therefore, the operating hours of the fan will depend on the converter usage conditions (input current, cooling air temperature, etc.). The
converter stores the number of operating hours of the fan in parameter P0045. When this parameter reaches 50000 operating hours, the keypad display
will show alarm A177.
