What You Need to Do The Bimetal Thermostats are located on the drive heatsink. To install the
Bimetal Thermostats:
❐ Step 1: Remove power from the drive
❐ Step 2: Remove the protective covers
❐ Step 3: Remove the existing Bimetal Thermostat
❐ Step 4: Install the new Bimetal Thermostat
❐ Step 5: Replace the protective covers and document the change
!ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with DC
drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
!ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, ensure that
all power to the drive has been removed before performing the
following.
!ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or
repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with
static control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2,
“Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other
applicable ESD protection handbook.

Step 1: Remove Power
from the Drive
1. Remove and lock-out all incoming power to the drive.
!ATTENTION: Remove power before making or breaking cable
connections. When you remove or insert a cable connector with
power applied, an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can
cause personal injury or property damage by:
•sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion
•causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance.

Step 2: Remove the
Protective Covers
1. Disconnect the DPI cable from the HIM assembly (if present).
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the screws that secure the bottom cover to
the drive, then slide the cover down and off the drive chassis.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the screws that secure the top cover to the

2. Loosen the two captive screws at the top of the Control EMI shield and
partially lower the shield. The shield will not open to its full extent due
to a cable connection between the Switching Power Supply board and
the Pulse Transformer board.
3. Disconnect the cable from connector XSW on the Switching Power
Supply board and lower the Control EMI shield until it rests on the
drive chassis.
Important: If the drive is not in a vertical position, the Control EMI
shield will not stay open without a means of restraint.
