Heatsink

The heatsink fins accumulate dust from the cooling air. Since a dusty heatsink is less
efficient at cooling the drive, overtemperature faults become more likely. In a
"normal" environment (not dusty, not clean) check the heatsink annually, in a dusty
environment check more often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove power from drive. Wait 5 minutes and measure to confirm.
2. Remove the cooling fan(s) (see section
3. Blow clean, dry, oil-free condensed air (not humid) from bottom to top and
simultaneously use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.
Note: If there is a risk of the dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning
in another room.
4. Replace the cooling fan(s).
5. Restore power.

Main cooling fan replacement

Main cooling fans are speed-controlled, and the speed of the fan matches the
cooling needs. When the drive is stopped, the main fan is kept running at a low
speed to cool the control board. Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not
use other than ABB specified spare parts.
