Inspecting and Cleaning the Enclosure

Inspecting the enclosure and keeping them clean can help prolong the proper functioning of the module.

Before You Begin

CAUTION

Disconnect the voltage supply before servicing or performing any maintenance
operations.

WARNING

Secure the screws on the enclosure once the wiring is completed or when servicing.

• Every few months, open and inspect the enclosure for moisture or dust build-up.

WARNING

All service and maintenance must be performed by a maintenance or service
personnel.

• Using a damp cloth, wipe clean the exterior of the enclosure.

WARNING

Do not pressure wash the controller.

Inspecting and Tightening the Connections

At some point, the electrical connections must be verified to ensure the connections are not loose and the
installation is always safe. The inspection ensures that no overheating occurs on the electrical
connections.

1. AP/Cumberland recommends the connections on power and control terminals to be verified every 3-

12 Months.

2. If wires are loose, tighten to the torque recommendations specified for the terminal.

3. Replace any damaged wires
