7. Precautions

• Installation:
  • Power down the entire system before installing or replacing the module to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
  • Use shielded cables for communication links and route them separately from high-voltage power cables to minimize EMI interference.
• Configuration:
  • Use ABB’s official software to update firmware and configure control logic, ensuring compatibility with the latest system updates.
  • Validate settings with simulated load tests to ensure optimal performance.
• Maintenance:
  • Regularly clean the module’s casing to prevent dust accumulation that may affect heat dissipation.
  • Store spare modules in a dry, dust-free environment within the specified temperature range to maintain functionality.
