CHAPTER 9 MAINTENANCE

9.1 INTRODUCTION

This Chapter provides information about maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting.

9.2 UNITS UNDER WARRANTY

Units requiring repair during the warranty period should be returned to a TDK-Lambda Americas
Inc. authorized service facility. Refer to the addresses listing on the back cover of this User’s
Manual. Unauthorized repairs performed by other than the authorized service f acilities may void
the warranty.

9.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

No routine maintenance of the power supply is required except for periodic cleaning. To clean,
disconnect the unit from the AC supply and allow 30sec. For discharging internal voltages. The
front panel and the metal surfaces should be cleaned using a mild solution of detergent and
water. The solution should be applied onto a soft cloth, and not directly to the surface of the unit.
Do not use aromatic hydocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning. Use low pressure
compressed air to blow dust from the unit.

9.4 ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION

No internal adjustment or calibration is required. There is NO REASON to open the power supply
cover.

9.5 PARTS REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS

As repairs are made only by the manuf acturer or by authorized service facilities, no parts re-
placement information is provided in the manual. In case of failure, unusual or erratic operation of
the unit, contact a TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. sales or service facility nearest you. Please refer
to the TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. sales offices addresses listing on the back cover of this User’s
Manual.

9.6 TROUBLESHOOTING

If the power supply appears to be operating improperly, use the Troubleshooting G uide (Table 9-
1) to determine whether the power supply, load or external control circuit are the cause.
Configure the power supply for basic front panel operation and perform the tests of Section 3.8 to
determine if the problem is with the supply.
Table 9-1 provides the basic checks that can be performed to diagnose problems, with refer-
ences to Sections of this User’s Manual for further information.
