7. Installation & Maintenance

Installation

1. Disconnect all drive power.

2. Align board with card cage guides; insert firmly into edge connector.

3. Secure with mounting screws (if used).

4. Tighten screw‑terminal block wiring (left side).

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dry, lint‑free cloth; no liquid cleaners.

• Inspection: Quarterly check for loose components, burnt traces, damaged connectors.

• Handling: Hold by edges; avoid touching connector pins.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Run Command: Check +5 V/±12 V; inspect edge connector/terminal block.

• Poor Speed Regulation: Verify tach/encoder wiring; adjust IR COMP.

• SCR Not Firing: Test pulse outputs; check 0‑51378 board connection.

• Repeated Overcurrent Trips: Check current feedback; inspect power section for shorts.
