Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance and inspections
Modern AC drives are based on solid state electronics technology, including ICs, resistors,
capacitors, transistors, cooling fans, relays, etc. These components have a limited life under
normal operation. Preventive maintenance is required to operate the GS4 drive in its optimal
condition, and to ensure a long life. We recommend that a qualified technician perform a regular
inspection of the GS4 drive. Some items should be checked once a month, and some items should
be checked yearly.
NOTE: All inspections should be accomplished with Safety in mind with due and required caution.
Some of these Inspection items may require the Drive to be powered down, while others may
require power to be applied. Proper safety precautions including the use of PPE are/may be
required. Please review cautionary statements in each section
Monthly InspectIon
Check the following items at least once a month.
1)
Make sure the motors are operating as expected�
2)
Make sure the drive installation environment is normal�
3)
Make sure the enclosure and drive cooling systems are operating as expected�
4)
Check for irregular vibrations or sounds during operation�
5)
Make sure the motors are not overheating during operation�
6)
Check the input voltage to the
GS4
drive and make sure the voltage is within the operating
range� Check the voltage with a voltmeter�
AnnuAl InspectIon
Check the following items once annually.
1)
Check the torque of the GS4 power and control terminal screws and tighten if necessary�
They may loosen due to vibration or changing temperatures�
2)
Make sure the conductors and insulators are not corroded or damaged�
3)
Check the resistance of cable insulation with a megohmmeter�
4)
Clean off any dust and dirt with a vacuum cleaner� Pay special attention to cleaning the
ventilation ports and PCBs� Always keep these areas clean� Accumulation of dust and dirt in
these areas can cause unforeseen failures�
5)
Recharge the capacitors of any drive that is in storage or is otherwise unused�

RechARge cApAcItoRs (foR dRIves not In seRvIce)
Recharge the DC link before using any drive that has not been operated within a year:
1)
Disconnect the motor from the drive�
2)
Apply input power to the drive for 2 hours�
If the drive is stored or is otherwise unused for more than a year, the drive’s internal DC link
capacitors should be recharged before use. Otherwise, the capacitors may be damaged when the
drive starts to operate. We recommend recharging the capacitors of any unused drive at least
once per year.
Disconnect Ac power AnD ensure thAt the internAl cApAcitors hAve fully DischArgeD before
inspecting the gs4 Drive! wAit At leAst two minutes After All DisplAy lAmps hAve turneD off.
CAUTION
☑Wait 5 seconds after a fault has been cleared before performing reset
via keypad or input terminal.
☑When the power is off after 5 minutes for ≤ 30hp models and 10
minutes for ≥ 40hp models, please confirm that the capacitors have
fully discharged by measuring the voltage between + and -. The
voltage between + and - should be less than 25VDC.
☑Only qualified personnel can install, wire and maintain drives.
Please take off any metal objects, such as watches and rings, before
operation. And only insulated tools are allowed.
☑Never reassemble internal components or wiring.
☑Make sure that installation environment complies with regulations
without abnormal noise, vibration and smell.

Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
RecoMMended InspectIon schedules
Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least
10 minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have
fully discharged by measuring the voltage between DC+ and DC-. The voltage between DC+ and
DC-should be less than 25VDC.

In those industries where grease and dirt are common. Please be aware of the possible damage
that grease, oil, and dirt, may cause to your GS4 drive:
1)
Electronic components that silt up with greasy oil may cause the drive to burn out or even
explode�
2)
Most greasy dirt contains corrosive substances that may damage the drive�
Solution:
Install the GS4 drive in a suitable enclosure to protect it from grease and dirt. Clean and remove
grease and dirt regularly to prevent damage of the drive.

fIbeR dust pRobleM
Problems related to fiber dust are typical in the textile industry. Please be aware of the possible
damage that fiber dust may cause to your GS4 drive:
1)
Fiber dust that accumulates or adheres to the fans will result in poor ventilation and cause
overheating problems�
2)
Textile plant environments with high humidity levels may experience GS4 drive failure or
damage as a result of wet fiber dust adhering to components within the drive�
Solution:
Install the GS4 drive in a suitable enclosure to protect it from fiber dust. Clean and remove fiber
dust regularly to prevent damage to the drive.

Corrosion problems may occur if any fluids or liquid in vapor form flows into the GS4 drive. Please
be aware of the damage that corrosion may cause to your drive.

Corrosion of internal components may cause the GS4 drive to malfunction and possibly explode�
Solution:
Install the GS4 drive in a suitable enclosure to protect it from fluids. Clean the drive regularly to
prevent corrosion.

IndustRIAl dust pRobleM
Serious industrial dust pollution frequently occurs in stone processing plants, flour mills, cement
plants, and so on. Please be particularly aware of any metal dust, filings or if metalized vapor is
present as these may cause damage to your drives:
1)
Dust accumulating on electronic components may cause overheating problems and shorten the
service life of the drive�
2)
Conductive dust may damage the circuit board and may cause the drive to explode�
Solution:
Install the GS4 drive in a suitable enclosure and protect it from dust. Clean the cabinet and
ventilation filter regularly for good ventilation.

WIRIng And InstAllAtIon pRobleM
When wiring the GS4 drive, the most common problems are connection to the wrong terminal or
poor wiring practice. Please be aware of the possible damage that poor wiring practice may cause
to your GS4 drive:
1)
Screw terminals where the wire is not fully inserted or the terminal screw is not adequately
tightened may result in sparking or high temperature due to a high resistance connection�
2)
If circuit boards in the GS4 drive have been modified, components on the affected boards may
have been damaged�
Solution:
Inspect all power and control terminal connections in the GS4 drive to ensure adequate wire
insertion. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair control boards in the GS4 drive.

dIgItAl Input/output teRMInAl pRobleMs
Problems with digital I/O are usually the result of improper termination, or failure to segregate
control wiring from power wiring. This may result in errant signals due to induced voltage,
capacitive coupling or electrical noise. Incorrect voltage levels applied to the digital I/O terminals
can damage the I/O circuitry of the drive.
•
Input/Output circuit may burn out when the terminal usage exceeds its limit�
Solution:
Refer to the user manual for multi-function input output terminals usage and follow the specified
voltage and current. DO NOT exceed the specification limits.
