Step 3: Loosen the fixing screws on the ECCU. Replace the ECCU with a new one.
Step 4: Reverse connection sequence in step 2 to connect terminals, so as to check that the LED_FAULT (shown in
1Figure 1.2) indicator show correctly. Under normal instance, the LED_FAULT indicator is power-off.
Step 5: Place the DIP switch to the correct position according to Table 1.1 and Table 1.2.
Step 6: Press the SW1 self-test button (shown in 1Figure 1.2) to ensure that the fan can start normally.
Step 7: Replace the cover of the ECCU.

Chapter 4 Maintenance
Step 1: Make sure that the fan-control terminals (J1 and J2 are hot pluggable) on the environment climate control unit
are inserted firmly. The fan-control terminals are shown in Figure 4-3.
Step 2: Ensure that Bit 5 of SW100 switch is put to the ON position.
Step 3: Press the SW101 self-test button (shown in Figure 4-3). If the fans do not work, make sure that the fan cables
are perfect.
Step 4: Loosen the fixing screws at the cabinet top cover to open the top cover. (Opening the top cover, pull it forward
and then lift up its front not more than 30. Otherwise the top cover will be fallen.)
Step 5: Disconnect the fan power terminals at the top of the cabinet. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage
between the positive power cable and the negative power cable. Check if the voltage is close to the DC output
voltage (54.0V).
If the fan power voltage is normal, the fans are damaged. Carry out the next step.
Step 6: Loosen the fixing screws of the fans and replace the fans, as shown in Figure 4-6.

Step 7: Reconnect the fan power terminals, and press SW1 self-test button (shown in Figure 4-3) to ensure that the
fan can startup normally.
Step 8: Replace the cabinet top cover.

4.2.3 Replacing Door Status Sensor

There is a door status sensor installed in the cabinet for detecting the close or open status of the cabinet door. The
alarm will be eliminated only when the cabinet door is closed.
The door status sensor requires no particular maintenance; just replace it when it is damaged. If the door is closed,
while the door status sensor alarm occurs, the sensor must have been damaged. The position of the sensor is shown
in Figure 4-7.
Remove the sensor top cover and then the two screws. Replace the old sensor with a new one and finally fix the
sensor and the signal cables with the screws.
