Maintenance
- Routine inspection: Check PCB dust, backplane connector and LED status every 6–12 months
- Clean board surface with dry compressed air; liquid solvent cleaning is strictly prohibited
- ESD protection must be adopted during disassembly, anti-static wristband required
- If excitation regulation deviation or fault alarm occurs, power off and check signal wiring and backplane contact
- Stop operation immediately if PCB burn mark, corrosion or condensation are found
- We support function testing, refurbishment and spare replacement service for this PCD235A101 excitation module
Installation
- Cut off all high voltage and auxiliary power supply of excitation cabinet, confirm zero voltage before operation.
- Wear anti-static wristband to prevent electrostatic damage to FPGA and analog components.
- Open excitation cabinet door, release the locking mechanism of old PCD235A101 board.
- Pull out the Eurocard module gently, avoid scratching backplane pins.
- Insert new module along cabinet guide rail and lock firmly.
- Confirm backplane connection and signal wiring are fully seated.
- Restore power supply, perform excitation system self-test.
- Carry out no-load excitation test, verify voltage regulation performance and protection interlock function before commissioning.
