2. Installation Method
Step 1 – Preparation
De-energise the inverter; lock-out/tag-out and verify zero energy. Record serial number and date code.

Step 2 – Mounting
Position fan 50 mm behind inverter heat sink, aligned with fins. Use supplied anti-vibration grommets; torque M4 screws to 1.2 N·m.

Step 3 – Wiring
Route 2-core cable through PG9 gland. Connect red (+24 V) and black (0 V) to inverter “FAN” terminals. Earth shield at cabinet only.

Step 4 – Commissioning
Power-up; fan must start immediately. Measure airflow with anemometer (>2 m/s). Log current, noise, and temperature drop.

3. Daily & Preventive Maintenance
Daily (Technician)
Visual check—fan rotating, no abnormal noise. Ensure cable gland tight.

Monthly
Clean fan grille and heat sink with compressed air. Check M12 connector tightness.

Quarterly
Measure current (0.32 A ±10 %) and airflow (>2 m/s). Scope test: ripple <5 %, no bearing rattle.

Annually
Replace fan if cumulative hours exceed 40,000 h. Perform full thermal scan of inverter.

4. Replacement Cycle & Indicators
| Duty Cycle | Replace Every | Hours | Warning Signs |
| Standard residential | 6–7 years | 40k | Current >0.4 A, noise >60 dB |
| Commercial / hospital | 4–5 years | 30k | Vibration, temp >70 °C |
| High-speed / outdoor | 2–3 years | 20k | Bearing rattle, IP55 failure |

Replace immediately if:
– Current >0.5 A or <0.2 A
– Bearing rattle, shaft play >0.1 mm
– Repeated “over-temp” faults
– Physical damage or water ingress

Maintain one spare MMF-08L24SS per 20 inverters for <4-hour response.
