Routine Maintenance
17.4.1
DC Power System Maintenance
Refer to the documentation furnished with the power system.
17.4.2
Heat Exchanger Maintenance
At each visit, verify that there is no obstruction outside the enclosure preventing ventilation, and that all fans are clean and operating
normally. At 1 to 5-year intervals, based on the location and environmental conditions, use clean compressed air to blow out the dust
accumulation from the external loop heat exchanger core per the following procedure. Also blow out the dust accumulation from the
Heat Exchanger ventilation openings in the door shroud.
Although not a mandatory preventative maintenance measure, replace the external fans at 5-year intervals, particularly if the
enclosure is operating under extreme environmental conditions. See “Heat Exchanger Internal and External Fan Replacement” on
page vii for a procedure.
External Loop Heat Exchanger (Hx) Maintenance Procedure
To clean the external loop HX, it is advised to remove the external loop fan assembly per the “Replacing an External Fan” procedure in
“Heat Exchanger Internal and External Fan Replacement” on page vii. Then using clean compressed air (DO NOT USE WATER OR
SOLVENTS), clean the fins of the HX. Normal compressed air is OK to use, provided that the hose is kept far enough away from the
exterior loop fins, so that the air velocity on the fins doesn’t cause the fins to deflect past their elastic limit. That is, they can deflect,
but not permanently be bent. You can also use a clean vacuum cleaner with the hose reversed to provide an air stream.
17.4.3
Battery Maintenance
Battery life is determined by a variety of factors, including the technology deployed, the charge/discharge cycle history, operating
temperature, peak current draw, etc. Battery string replacement is governed by carrier policies, but should be performed regularly at
the end of the expected lifetime of the battery.
Battery health should be checked at regular intervals per battery manufacturer’s instructions, which should include a verification of
the float voltage and open circuit voltage.
Battery Maintenance Procedure
1.
Make sure that the batteries and battery area are clean and dry.
