Warnung! Installation, Inbetriebnahme und Service dieses Produktes darf nur durch quali rtes
Fachpersonal unter Beachtung der nachfolgenden Hinweise und Erklärungen erfolgen. Die in dem Gerät vorhandenen
Spannungen können bei Berührung zu tödlichen oder ernsthaften Verletzungen führen. Vor Arbeiten an dem Gerät ist
grundsätzlich die Versorgung abzuschalten. Bei Anliegen der Versorgungsspannung dürfen keine Klemmen berührt
werden, an den Ausgangsklemmen kann auch bei ausgeschaltetem Gerät eine gefährliche Spannung anliegen. Der
Einsatz des Gerätes darf nur innerhalb der spezi zierten Bedingungen erfolgen. Überprüfen Sie vor Einsatz, dass die
Geräetype bezüglich Versorgungsspannung, Schaltspannung und sonstiger Daten den Anforderungen entspricht.

concerne la tension du secteur, la tension d’alimentation nominale et les données produits.
Осторожно! Установка, ввод в эксплуатацию и обслуживание данного оборудования должны
производиться квалифицированным персоналом, специально допущенным к таким работам, в соответсвии
с действующим законодательством и требованиями предъявляемыми к обслуживанию электроустановок
и обеспечению безопасности. В изделии используется опасное для человека напряжение, которое может
привести к смерти или серьезным травмам. Всегда отключайте напряжение перед
началом любых работ на
оборудовании. Не дотрагивайтесь до клемм и токоведущих частей когда приложено напряжение. На выходных
клеммах может быть напряжение даже если прибор выключен. Прибор должен использоваться строго в
соответствии с заявленными параметрами. Проверьте, что прибор подобран правильно и номинальные
параметры находятся в соответствии с силовым напряжением и напряжением управления.

1. General
Please note!
The life span of electronics can be affected by damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. This can happen if a component is touched by a
charged tool or person. Therefore it is very important that all tools and
personnel are discharged by touching an earthed point before the printed
circuit board or any of the components are touched. It is equally important to
discharge the package with the new component before opening it.
A person walking on a carpet
thousand volt (15000V). Compare this with the fact that some sensitive
components can be destroyed when discharged on a much lower level
(about 100V). We kindly ask you to pay notice to this as this is a vital point in
order to ensure the life span of the product.

3. Handling of modules
Modules and heat sinks are to be handled carefully to avoid scratches and other marks.
Avoid touching the contact surfaces.

4. Step by step
Disconnect the voltage from terminals 1L1, 3L2, and 5L3 (main supply).
Disconnect all cable from the terminals.
Remove the front cover.
Discharge the tools and yourself by touching earth.
Disconnect the electrical connection on the thyristors.
Disconnect the thyristors.
Clean the contact surface on the heat sink and modules with Ethanol.
Use lint-free cloth (paper or linen cloth)
A very thin layer of heat transfer compound shall be put o
n the contact surfaces of the
modules with a lint-free cloth.
Too much compound between module and heat sink will give bad thermal conduction and
cause risk of overheating the thyristors.
Mount the new thyristors (Use the torque in the table).
Mount the electrical connection on the thyristors.
Mount the front cover.
Connect the voltage and the other cable.
Ready for start!!
