UFM-ST Hardware Manual Installation
2.2. AC Input/Output Power Wiring
The UFM-ST has two AC connectors; an Input connector (AC Mains) and an Output connector (Load). Each
of these connectors also has a ground terminal.
W A R N I N G : The System Integrator or end user is responsible for determining and meeting all
safety and compliance requirements necessary to integrate the UFM-ST into the final
application.
2.2.1. AC Input Power Wiring
The UFM-ST three-terminal input connector (Figure 2-1) is the AC power (Mains) connector. The AC1 and
AC2 terminals are the AC power lines (Internally fused at 10 Amps). The Ground terminal is connected
internally to the external Ground Stud and must be connected to Ground.
Wiring to the UFM-ST filter must use #16 AWG wires or larger and have an insulation rating of at least 300 V.
D A N G E R : Ground connection must be connected to ground to minimize possibility of
electrical shock hazard.

2.3. Forced-Air Cooling
The UFM-ST filter requires additional cooling for operation above 8 Arms. Air flow must be directed into the
ventilation holes on the UFM-STfilter case. Sufficient cooling is being provided if the UFM-ST case
temperature is less than 45°C during all operation conditions.

Maintenance UFM-ST Hardware Manual
Chapter 3: Maintenance
D A N G E R : Always disconnect the Mains power connection before opening the UFM-ST
chassis.
D A N G E R : Before performing any tests, be aware of lethal voltages inside the controller and
at the input and output power connections. A qualified service technician or electrician should
perform these tests.
3.1. Troubleshooting
This section lists some symptoms and causes for problems that may be encountered with the UFM-ST filter.
Table 3-1: Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause and Solution
No voltage output
1. Verify AC input voltage is present at AC1 & AC2.
2. Check for blown fuse inside UFM-ST filter. Fuse can be checked by making
continuity check between Input & Output connectors. Resistance between AC
inputs and outputs is less than 1 OHM. There should be no continuity between
AC1, AC2, and Ground.
UFM-ST filter blows
fuses
1. Check UFM-ST output wiring for shorts.
2. Verify that UFM-ST load is not exceeding 10 Amps.
Fails Hi-pot test
The UFM-ST filter contains MOV’s that will cause a Hi-pot failure and could be
damaged by Hi-pot testing. Contact Aerotech concerning Hi-pot testing the
UFM-ST filter.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury or death,
disconnect power (Mains disconnect) before servicing equipment.

UFM-ST Hardware Manual Maintenance
3.4. Preventative Maintenance
While the UFM-ST filter normally does not require any maintenance it is recommended that the filter and
associated wiring be inspected at least once a year. Table 3-3 lists some recommended checks that should
be made during these inspections.
Table 3-3: Preventative Maintenance
Check Action To Be Taken
Visually check filter for loose or damaged
parts / hardware.
Note: Internal inspection is not required
unless internal contamination or damage is
suspected.
Parts and hardware should be repaired or replaced.
Check for fluids or electrically conductive
material on or around filter.
Remove and cleanup any fluids or conductive Material from
filter. Fluids and conductive material must not be allowed to
enter filter.
Visually inspect all wires and connectors. Tighten or re-secure any loose connections. Replace or
repair damaged or frayed wires.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury or death,
disconnect power (Mains disconnect) before servicing equipment.
D A N G E R : Always disconnect the Mains power connection before opening the UFM-ST
chassis.
3.4.1. Cleaning
The UFM-ST filter box can be wiped with a clean, dry, soft cloth. The cloth may be slightly moistened if
required with water or isopropyl alcohol to aid in cleaning if necessary. In this case, be careful not to allow
moisture to enter the filter or onto exposed connectors / components. Fluids and sprays are not
recommended because of the possibility of internal contamination, which may result in electrical shorts
and/or corrosion. The electrical power must be disconnected from the filter while cleaning. Do not allow
cleaning substances or other fluids to enter the filter or to get on to any of the connectors. Avoid cleaning the
labels to prevent removing the label information.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury or death,
disconnect power (Mains disconnect) before servicing equipment.
