Fiber Optic Cabling
The equipment is provided with fiber optic cabling as a means of 
interfacing the low voltage control to the medium voltage circuits. The 
user of the equipment should never need to change the routing of the fiber 
optic cables. 
 
 
Each end of a fiber optic cable is provided with a connector that plugs and 
latches into its respective location on a circuit board. To disconnect a fiber 
optic cable, depress the ridged plastic tab at the end connector and pull. 
To install a fiber optic cable insert the fiber optic port of the circuit board 
so that the plastic tab latches into place. 
 
 
Air Pressure Sensor
An air pressure sensor is located in both the converter cabinet and the 
integral rectifier transformer cabinet (if applicable). In both cases, it is 
located in the upper left-hand quadrant of the cabinet.

The air pressure sensor measures the difference in air pressure between 
the front and rear of the converter modules/integral rectifier transformer. 
A small direct current voltage signal is transmitted to the control circuits. 
 
 
In the event of reduced fan performance or air blockage for either the 
converter or the transformer, the measured differential pressure will be 
reduced and a warning message will appear on the console. A likely 
cause of the warning message would be laden filters at the inlet. 
 
 
If, as a result of blockage or fan failure, flow becomes so reduced that 
there is a risk of thermal damage for either the converter or transformer, a 
fault signal will cause drive shutdown.
