SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING vacon eat 3. SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING 3.4. SAFETY NoTICE Before analyzing/checking measurements, make sure that the unit or module being repaired is disconnected from the power supply, unless it is required to be powered up. Make sure any dangerously high voltage remaining in the circuitry is discharged and that there is no voltage source with life threatening potential. It is imperative to ensure that the main supply is switched off and the main terminals and DC busbars are de-energized. Also, make sure that the working enviranment is safe and will not cause personal injury, damage to the unit, orto the environment. If repairs are being carried out in the field, make sure that the supply voltage cannot be switched on during service, and the action of the service personnel will not cause unnecessary disturbance or interruption to the process. ‘Busbars, internal components and circult boards are alive and carrying mains, potential when any VACON® AC drive is connected to 2 power supply, This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury, if anyone comes into > contact with exposed components. 3.2 VISUAL CHECKING 3.2.4 CHECKING THE COOLING TUNNEL + Remove the main cooling fan (see the instructions in Chapter 4.2] + Check the cooling tunnel and clean the heat sink and cooling tunnel, if necessary 3.2.2 CHECKING THE POWER UNIT + Toaccess the power module, see the instructions in Chapter 4.11 + Check for possible burn marks, broken components or foil on boards, power module or rectifier module.
