9 Troubleshooting
9.1 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The instructions referred to below should be carefully reviewed,
understood and followed regularly:
Step 1.
The following NEMA standards should be used as the
basis of a preventive maintenance program:
ICS 1.1-1984 (R1988) "Safety Guidelines for the
Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid
State Control"
ICS 1.3-1986 (R1991) "Preventive Maintenance of
Industrial Control and Systems Equipment."
Step 2. If the torque requirements for wiring connections are
not legible, refer to UL 486 "Equipment Wiring
Terminals" for nominal torque values.
Step 3. In the circumstance of a fault condition as indicated by
the opening of a short circuit protective device, refer to
Annex A ("Maintenance of Motor Controllers After a
Fault Condition") of NEMA standard ICS 2-1993
"Industrial Control and Systems,
Controllers,
Contactors, and Overload Relays Rated Not More Than
2000 Volts AC pr 750 Volts DC."
This checklist does not represent an exhaustive survey of main-
tenance steps necessary to ensure safe operation of the equip-
ment. Particular applications may require further procedures.
Should further information be desired or should particular prob-
lems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser's
purposes, the matter should be referred to the local Siemens
sales office.
