PSI 9000 DT Series
4. Service and maintenance
4.1 Maintenance / cleaning
The device requires no maintenance. Cleaning may become necessary for the internal fans, the frequency of
cleanse is depending on the ambient conditions. The fans serve to cool the internal components which are heated
by the inherent power loss. Heavily dirt filled fans can lead to insufficient airflow and therefore the DC output would
switch off too early due to overheating or possibly lead to defects.
Cleaning the internal fans can be performed with a vacuum cleaner or similar. For this the device needs to be opened.
4.2 Fault finding / diagnosis / repair
If the equipment suddenly performs in an unexpected way, which indicates a fault, or it has an obvious defect, this
can’t and mustn’t be repaired by the user. Contact the supplier in case of suspicion and elicit the steps to be taken.
It will then usually be necessary to return the device to the supplier (with or without guarantee). If a return for
checking or repair is to be carried out, ensure that:
•
the supplier has been contacted and it’s clarified how and where the equipment should be sent.
• the device is in fully assembled state and in suitable transport packaging, ideally the original packaging.
• a fault description in as much detail as possible is attached.
•
if shipping destination is abroad, the necessary customs papers are attached.
4.2.1 Replacing a defect mains fuse
The AC input of the device is protected by a 5x 20 mm fuse (for value check fuse body or technical specifications
in
1.8.3
) which is located on the rear of the device, inside a fuse holder (separate or in the AC socket, depends on
the model). To replace the fuse, the device isn’t required to be opened. Just remove the power cord and open the
fuse holder with a flat screw driver. The replacement fuse must be of same value and type.
4.2.2 Firmware updates
Firmware updates should only be installed when they can eliminate existing bugs in the
firmware in the device or contain new features.
The firmware of the control panel (HMI), of the communication unit (KE) and the digital controller (DR), if neces -
sary, is updated via the rear side USB port. For this the software “EA Power Control” is needed which is included
with the device or available as download from our website together with the firmware update, or upon request.
However, be advised not to install updates promptly. Every update includes the risk of an inoperable device or
system. We recommend to install updates only if...
•
an imminent problem with your device can directly be solved, especially if we suggested to install an update
during a support case
•
a new feature has been added which you definitely want to use. In this case, the full responsibility is transferred
to you.
Following also applies in connection with firmware updates:
•
Simple changes in firmwares can have crucial effects on the application the devices are use in. We thus recommend
to study the list of changes in the firmware history very thoroughly.
•
Newly implemented features may require an updated documentation (user manual and/or programming guide,
as well as LabView VIs), which is often delivered only later, sometimes significantly later
