Maintenance

11.1

Cooling Fans

The STE Soft Starter with forced ventilation uses fans that rotate permanently when the unit is supplied.

The supply votage is the same of the electronic board (see par. 6.2).

In case of fan failure, the heat-sink can be reach high temperature. In this case to give protection there

is a thermal switch properly setted. The function of this switch is to stop the unit until the heat-sink

temperature falls below the setted value. In this condition the unit is switched OFF and the system can

not work. For this reason is important to control periodically the fans status checking that are rotating.

The fan’s power consumption is below listed:

Size

Continuous service (no Bypass)

With Bypass

Size 9 <45A

No fans

Size 9 >45A

One Fan 92x92 - 16W

No fans

Size 11

One Fan 120x120 - 17W

No fans

Size 13

Two Fans 120x120 - 34W

No fans

Size 14 450A

Two Fans 120x120 - 34W

No fans

Size 14 500A

Four Fans 120x120 - 68W

No fans

11.2

Maintenance

For maintain a correct cooling, the consumer must clean the heat-sink and the protective grate of the

fans. The frequency of these operations depends on the atmospheric local pollution.

Check also that the screw of the power terminals and earth terminals are shut correctly

(see Diagram of connection).

11.3

Repairing procedure

•

Phone to CD Automation.

•

Explain to Service Engineer the problem because sometimes it can be solved with a phone call.

If this is not possible, ship the unit to CD Automation or to your distributor.

•

Write a fault description and give the name of your personnel to which refers.

•

Use a rugged packaging to ship the unit.

11.4

Warranty condition

CD Automation gives a 12 months warranty to its products. The warranty is limited to repairing and

parts substitution in our factory and does exclude products not properly used and fuses.

Warranty does not include products with serial numbers deleted. The faulty product should be shipped to

CD Automation at customer’s cost and our Service will evaluate if product is under warranty terms.

Substituted parts remain of CD Automation property.
