Precautions
-
Installation:
- Follow ESD (electrostatic discharge) protocols; use antistatic wrist straps.
- Ensure proper grounding to prevent voltage surges.
-
Operation:
- Do not exceed rated voltage (24 V DC ±10%).
- Regularly inspect connectors for corrosion in humid environments.
-
Maintenance:
-
Schedule annual checks for loose connections or physical damage.
-
Replace modules every 10 years (or as per ABB’s lifecycle guidelines).
