Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Turn off power to the Series 90-30 rack, such as the IC693CHS397. Check that the rack has an open slot for the IC693CPU360-EL. Verify that the power supply, like the IC693PWR330, provides 5V DC at 500 mA and 24V DC at 100 mA. Gather a screwdriver and anti-static wristband to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. Ensure the rack is mounted securely on a DIN rail or panel.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693CPU360-EL monthly. Check for loose connections or dust buildup. Wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Monitor the LED indicators on the front panel. Steady green lights indicate normal operation. Flashing or red lights signal issues, such as communication errors or power problems. Replace the backup battery, if used, every two years to ensure data retention during power outages. If the module fails, replace it with a new or refurbished IC693CPU360-EL following proper shutdown procedures to avoid damaging connected modules.
