Cleaning or Replacing the Motor Controller Fan Filter
The filter in the QSMC motor controller must be removed and cleaned if it is dirty or replaced
if it is damaged.
Required Tools and Equipment
• Small screwdriver, flat blade.
• Filter replacement (if needed).
Procedure
Figure 8-1: Replacing QSMC Fan Filter
1. Turn off power to the motor controller.
NOTE: Do not use the motor controller when the filter is not installed.
2. Visually inspect the air filter. If the filter is damaged or requires cleaning, remove the
filter from the motor controller. Use a small screwdriver with a flat blade and gently
insert it between the front plate and the bezel of the filter housing near one of the
retaining clips and twist it slightly to release the front plate.
3. Remove the front plate and the filter.
4. To clean, wash both the front plate and the filter in warm soapy water, rinse using
clean water, and pat dry using paper towels.
5. To replace, discard the old filter and unpack the new filter.
A replacement 60 mm x 60 mm filter can be ordered from a hardware supplier, such as
McMaster-Carr (#19155K7).
6. Replace the air filter in the motor controller by positioning it and snapping the cover
into place over it.
7. Return the motor controller to normal operation.
