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. Un-
authorized repairs performed by other than the authorized service facilities 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 manufacturer or by authorized service facilities, no parts replacement
information is provided in the manual. In case of failure, unusual or erratic operation of the unit, con-
tact 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 Guide (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 de-
termine if the problem is with the supply.

Table 9-1 provides the basic checks that can be performed to diagnose problems, with references to
Sections of this User’s Manual for further information.
