2. When necessary, clean the interior of the cabinet with a soft brush and a vacuum
cleaner.
3. Check the air inlet and outlet meshes/filters of the cabinet. Clean when necessary.

Heatsink

The drive module heatsink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. The drive runs into
overtemperature warnings and faults if the heatsink is not clean. When necessary, clean
the heatsink as follows.

simultaneously use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust. Note: If there is
a risk of dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning in another room

Fans

The lifespan of the cooling fan of the drive depends on the running time of the fan, ambient
temperature and dust concentration. See the firmware manual for the actual signal which
indicates the running time of the cooling fan. Reset the running time signal after a fan
replacement.
Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not use other than ABB specified spare
parts.
