Maintenance and cleaning
| |
Ensure safe condition for cleaning work Basically, electronic devices are not fail-safe. The condition is always safe when the unit is switched off and not energized. For cleaning work, place the connected brake resistors and the machine in a safe state. Carrying cleaning work during operation can lead to serious or fatal injuries. Do not touch hot surfaces The surface of the housing can reach a temperature of 200 °C. Allow the brake resistor to cool to below 40 °C after switching off. Ignoring this can lead to burns being sustained. |
Notice | |
Do not immerse or hose down the brake resistor Only wipe the brake resistor with a cloth. Cleaning by immersion will destroy the brake resistor. Impermissible solutions will damage the brake resistors and surfaces. |
Contamination, dust or chips can have a negative effect on the function of the components. In the worst case, contamination can lead to failure. Beckhoff recommends regular cleaning and maintenance of the components in a system at regular and required intervals.
No special maintenance and cleaning measures are usually foreseen for brake resistors from the AX2090-BW80-xxxx series. A brake resistor must be replaced in the event of malfunctions or faults.
