6  Service and Maintenance

6 1 Routine Inspection and Maintenance

Affected by ambient temperature, humidity, dust, vibration 
and internal device aging of the controller, problems might 
occur during operation. To make the controller run stably, a 
periodic inspection must be performed 

every year

.

Requirement of Inspection and Maintenance

1. 

The inspection must be performed by professional 
technical personnel.

2. 

Before working on the controller, always cut off the 
power supply and wait, until the display turns off.

3. 

Avoid leaving any metal components in the 
controller, or else they might cause damage to the 
equipment.

4. 

An electric insulation test has been made on the con-
troller before it has left factory. A withstand-voltage 
test is not necessary.

5. 

It is forbidden to use the megohmmeter to test in the 
control circuit.

6. 

When conducting insulation test on the motor, you 
have to disconnect the connection between motor 
and controller.

Main Points for Inspection and Maintenance

Please use the controller under environment recommended 
by this manual. Inspect and maintain as per the following 
table. 

Inspect frequency

regular

Inspection item

Inspection content

Judgment standard

running environment

1. 

temperature, humidity

2. 

dust, gas

1. 

temperature <50 °C

2. 

humidity  < 90 %, no dew condensation, no peculiar smell, 
flammable, explosive gas

cooling system

1.

1. 

vibration, temperature rise

2. 

noise

3. 

lead, terminal

1. 

stable vibration, normal temperature of the shell

2. 

no abnormal noise and peculiar smell

3. 

fastening screws not loose

motor

1. 

vibration, temperature rise

2. 

noise

1. 

steady running and normal tempera-ture

2. 

no abnormal and uneven noise

input and output parameter

1. 

input voltage

2. 

output current

1. 

input voltage in the specified scope

2. 

output current under the rated value

6 2 Replacement of Wear Parts

Filter Capacitor  

Pulsating current of the main circuit will influence the 
performance of the aluminum electrolytic filter capacitor, of 
which the degree will depend on the ambient tempera-
ture and application condition. The Controller used under 
normal condition should replace its electrolytic capacitor 
every 10 years. When the filter capacitor’s electrolyte is 
leaking, safety valve bursting out or the capacitor main 
body expanding, replace it immediately.

Cooling Fan

Cooling fan’s service life is about 15.000 hours. If the fan 
appears abnormal noise or produces vibration, replace it 
immediately.
