6 Maintenance

6.5  Return an item

If a Fusesaver is faulty, please contact 

your local Siemens Service Center to 

organize for return, investigation and 

repair as required.

6.6  Spare parts

To ensure that the Fusesaver operates 

reliably, spare parts must be replaced 

only by trained and certified personnel. 

To order spare parts, a MLFB ordering 

code is required – please contact the 

Siemens Service Center.

6.7 Manufacturer’s  

product liability

The manufacturer’s product liability  

shall be excluded if at least one of the 

following criteria applies:
•  Original Siemens spare parts are  

not used.

•  Fitters carrying out replacements  

have not been trained and certified  

by Siemens. Parts have been 

incorrectly fitted or adjusted.

•  Settings are not made in accordance 

with Siemens specifications.

•  After installation and setting,  

no final test is performed with 

authorized person including 

documentation of the test results.

6.8  Fusesaver disposal

The materials of the Fusesaver are 

recyclable. Disposal of the Fusesaver 

with minimum environmental impact  

is possible on the basis of existing  

legal regulations. 
•  The metal components can be 

recycled as mixed scrap, although 

wide-ranging dismantling into sorted 

scrap and mixed scrap residues is 

more environmentally sustainable.

•  Electronic scrap must be disposed  

of in accordance with applicable 

regulations. All electronic modules  

in Fusesaver are ROHS compliant.

6.9  Battery disposal

Material safety data sheets and 

regulatory guides for the batteries are 

available for download in the Siemens 

Outdoor Systems Data Management 

Cloud via authenticated user login  

at https://sosdmc.siemens.cloud
These documents provide guidance  

on hazardous waste categorization, 

recycling and disposal. 

In general, lithium batteries are 

considered non-hazardous waste  

when undamaged and the batteries are  

spent. Batteries involved in a fire may  

be considered to be hazardous waste. 
The batteries contain recyclable 

material and recycling is encouraged.

The Fusesaver consists of the  

following materials:
•  Steel 
•  Aluminium
•  Copper
•  Plastics 

•  Rubber materials
•  Ceramics
•  Electronic boards.
If the packaging is no longer needed,  

it can be fully recycled.

Stored electrical energy inside Fusesaver

The Fusesaver contains stored electrical energy in 

capacitors inside the unit. These capacitors could 

have voltages of 170 V dc. Maintenance should  

be performed only by factory approved Siemens 

personnel. 
Do not disassemble the Fusesaver without seeking 

guidance from the Siemens Service Center as the 

operator may be exposed to these dangerous 

voltages.
