4. Installation and Maintenance Notes

To ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment, the following requirements must be followed for installation and maintenance, which shall be performed by professionally qualified personnel familiar with equipment details:

Pre-installation Inspection: Visually inspect the integrity of the module, the condition of connection parts and the adjustment of protection devices, and confirm no damage before installation.
Safe Operation: Before any installation or maintenance operation, the switch must be set to the off position to cut off the power supply of the module's power circuit and auxiliary circuit. If complete power failure is not possible, appropriate personal protective equipment must be equipped and relevant industry specifications must be followed.
Regular Maintenance: Under normal operating conditions, maintenance shall be conducted once a year; for harsh operating environments or in case of short-circuit faults, maintenance shall be conducted every 6 months. Maintenance items include: removing dust or smoke stains with a dry and clean cloth, inspecting the surface of pluggable contacts and performing cleaning and lubrication, conducting no-load tests on the action of switches, closures and relays, and checking the tightness of connection parts and fixing screws.
