Safety instructions
Only a qualified electrician is allowed to perform the maintenance.
Before starting work on the drive system,
• isolate the drive system from the main supply
• open the switch-disconnectors and lock them out in the open position
• switch off any voltages connected to the I/O terminals
• wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge
• ensure there is no dangerous voltage present by measuring the voltage on the
input, I/O and intermediate circuit terminals.
WARNING! When replacing an inverter module, make sure the replacement module
has exactly the same type designation (see the type designation label) as the old
module. If it does not, consult ABB for more information.

Maintenance intervals
This table lists the routine maintenance intervals recommended by ABB.
Consult your local ABB Service representative for more details on the maintenance.
On the Internet, go to http://www.abb.com/drivesservices and select Drive Services
– Maintenance and Field Services.
Note: This section applies to drives equipped with the APBU branching unit only.

4. Units with DC switch fuses only: On the ASFC switch fuse controller, set the fibre
optic link to the absent module to “disabled” using the appropriate switch (S1, S2
or S3).
5. Make the necessary parameter adjustments in the drive firmware. Refer to the
appropriate Firmware Manual.
6. Reconnect the module after service in reverse order.
Heatsinks
Heatsink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. Inverter modules run into
overtemperature warnings and faults if the heatsink is not clean. In a “normal”
environment (not dusty, not clean) the heatsink should be checked annually, in a
dusty environment more often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove the cooling fan as described in section Cooling fans elsewhere in this
chapter.
2. Blow clean, dry compressed air from bottom to top and simultaneously use a
vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.

Cooling fans
The lifespan of the cooling fan depends on the drive usage and ambient
temperature. See the appropriate Firmware Manual for an actual signal which
indicates the hours of usage of the fan.
Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from fan bearings and the
gradual rise in the heatsink temperature in spite of heatsink cleaning. If the drive is
operated in a critical part of a process, fan replacement is recommended once these
symptoms start appearing. Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not use
other than ABB-specified spare parts.

Additional fan
If you have an additional fan installed in your module, see the instructions below for
its replacement.
Replacement (R2i, R3i)
Remove the front cover. To remove the fan, release the retaining clip (1). Disconnect
the cable (2, detachable terminal). Install the fan in reverse order.

Capacitors
The drive intermediate circuit employs several electrolytic capacitors. Their lifespan
depends on drive loading and ambient temperature. Capacitor life can be prolonged
by lowering the ambient temperature.
It is not possible to predict a capacitor failure. Capacitor failure is usually followed by
a mains fuse failure or a fault trip. Contact ABB if capacitor failure is suspected.
Replacements are available from ABB. Do not use other than ABB-specified spare
parts.
Capacitor reforming
Reform (re-age) spare part capacitors once a year according to Converter modules
with electrolytic DC capacitors in the DC link, Capacitor reforming instructions
(3BFE64059629 [English]).
LEDs
This table describes LEDs of the drive.
RMIO board (not visible in frame Red The drive is in fault state
sizes R2i to R5i)
Green The power supply on the board is OK.
Control panel mounting platform Red The drive is in fault state
Green The main +24 V power supply for the control panel and the
RMIO board is OK.
APBU board TXD (Yellow) Data is being sent by the APBU to the drive control unit.
RXD (Yellow) Data is being received by the APBU from the drive control unit.
PWR (Green) APBU logic voltage is OK.
BAT (Green) The memory backup battery is OK. The LED is off if the battery
is disabled.
