9. TROUBLESHOOTING
9.3. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
We recommend regular specialist maintenance (annually) for the Green Power 2.0, to achieve optimum operating efficiency and
avoid equipment downtime.
It is strongly advisable to comply with any requests for preventive maintenance automatically displayed with an alert message .
All operations on equipment must only be carried out by SOCOMEC personnel or authorised support personnel.
Maintenance consists of accurate functional checks on electronic and mechanical parts with replacement of parts subject to wear
if necessary (typically batteries, fans and capacitors).
9.3.1. Batteries
The condition of the external batteries is fundamental to UPS operation.
Thanks to the Expert Battery System, battery condition information is processed in real time and recharging and discharging
procedures are selected automatically in order to optimise battery lifetime expectancy and offer maximum performance.
Furthermore, during the operating lifetime of the battery, Green Power 2.0 stores statistics on battery conditions of use for analysis.
Since the expected lifetime of batteries is very much dependent on operating conditions (number of charging and discharging
cycles, load rate, temperature), a regular inspection by authorised personnel is recommended.
When replacing the batteries use the same type and configuration by placing them in the appropriate containers
so as to avoid the risk of acid leakage.
Used batteries must be disposed of at authorised recycling and disposal centres.
Do not open the plastic cover of the batteries as they contain harmful substances.
9.3.2. Fans
The lifetime of fans used to cool the power parts is dependent on usage and environmental conditions (temperature, dust).
Preventive replacement by an authorised technician is recommended within four years (in normal operating conditions).
Fans must be replaced by SOCOMEC technicians when required.
9.3.3. Capacitors
The equipment houses electrolytic capacitors (used in the rectifier and inverter section) and filtering capacitors (used in the output section),
whose lifetime is dependent on usage and environmental conditions.
The average expected lifetime of these components is shown below:
• Electrolytic capacitors: 5 years;
• Filtering capacitors: 7 years.
The actual condition of components is verified during preventive maintenance.
