4 Operator Instructions
4.1 Cleaning of the cabinet and Depot charge box
Electrical components
• Do not apply high-pressure water jets. Water may leak into the cabinet.
• Only use cleaning agents with a pH value between 6 and 8.
• Do not use cleaning agents with abrasive components.
• Do not use abrasive tools.
The cabinet of the Power Cabinet and Depot charge box is made from powder coated high
quality stainless steel. The coating must be kept in good condition.
Clean the Charger three times a year in the following way:
• Remove rough dirt by rinsing with low-pressure tap water.
• Apply a neutral or weak alkaline cleaning solution and let it soak.
• Remove dirt by hand with a non-woven nylon hand pad.
• Rinse thoroughly with tap water.
• Optionally, apply wax on the front for extra protection and gloss.
• Check the coating on damage.
Rust forming
When the charger is placed in a corrosion sensitive environment, the forming of
superficial rust is possible on the welding points on the side grills. This rust is
merely visual, there is no possibility this will form a risk on the cabinets integrity.
The rust can be removed with the cleaning procedure above. To prevent the rust
from reappearing; prime the areas with a transparent or color-like priming finish.
4.2 Preventive maintenance
Maintenance is done according the maintenance schedule. The charger must be inspected and
serviced yearly by a certified technician.
4.2.1 Service inspection of the cabinets
The following points must be checked regularly:
• Internal RCDs and RCBOs need to be tested on correct functioning on a regular basis.
During the yearly maintenance round that is advised to be executed by a certified ABB
technician, this will be checked.
• Powder coating: look for damage, cracks or ruptures.
