Maintenance
Introduction
Maintenance of the FD86N enclosure consists of protecting the 
enclosures during installation and cleaning the filter periodically.
Protecting Ventilated Control 
Enclosures During Maintenance
During maintenance, the enclosure doors will be open, which could 
allow airborne particles into the enclosure. Ensure that the environment 
is clean and free of airborne particles. If there are airborne particles, 
cover the enclosure to protect the electrical control equipment.
During normal operation with the doors closed and covers installed, 
enclosures with positive pressure ventilation and filters protect 
equipment from airborne particles.
Cleaning the Filter
1. Remove the filter from the cabinet.
2. If the filter is contaminated by oily or greasy substances, clean the
filter with a detergent solution. Avoid use of strong alkali solutions.
3. Flush the filter thoroughly with clean water. You can flush the filter
by either:
•
Immersing the filter in clean water.
•
Spraying the filter with a fine spray. Spray the filter in the 
direction opposite of air flow.
4. Shake excess water from the filter.
5. Replace the filter in the cabinet.
Replacement filters can be ordered from your local Rockwell 
Automation Drive Systems parts source. Request part number 
616209-3FLT.
Replacing Cabinet Light Bulbs
Replace cabinet light bulbs with bulbs of 60W or lower power that are 
sized for the supplied voltage.
!
ATTENTION: If the cabinet includes forced 
ventilation and filters, the filters must be cleaned or 
replaced periodically to ensure proper ventilation of the 
contained equipment. The air filters are washable. The 
filter media functions in dry form— do not apply oil or 
adhesive sprays to the filter.
