2. Installation Method
Step 1 – Preparation
De-energise the door drive; lock-out/tag-out and verify zero energy. Record serial number and firmware version.

Step 2 – Mounting
Position DSC-3A inside car-top control box, 100 mm clearance for airflow. Use M4 screws (torque 1.2 N·m); ensure IP54 gasket seated.

Step 3 – Wiring
– Motor: 3-phase 24 V (U/V/W)
– Encoder: 5-core shielded to motor
– Safety: E-stop NC input
– Comm: RS-485 A/B to main controller
Earth shield at controller only; maintain 50 mm separation from power cables.

Step 4 – Commissioning
Power-up; LED green. Run auto-tune; verify speed ripple <2 %, current <10 A. Log parameters and date.

3. Daily & Preventive Maintenance
Daily (Technician)
Visual check – LED green, no fault codes, temperature <70 °C.

Monthly
Clean IP54 grille; check M4 screws tight. Measure 24 V rail (±1 V).

Quarterly
Download fault log; check encoder drift (<0.5 mm). Cycle E-stop 50×.

Annually
Replace capacitors every 5 years. Full load test at 150 % rated current for 10 s.

4. Replacement Cycle & Indicators
| Duty Cycle | Replace Every | Warning Signs |
| Standard residential | 7–8 years | LED amber, temp >70 °C |
| Commercial / hospital | 5–6 years | Capacitor bulging, >15 W draw |
| High-speed / outdoor | 3–4 years | IGBT fault, IP54 failure |

Replace immediately if:
– Repeated “door fault” or “encoder fault”
– Physical damage or water ingress (IP54 compromised)
– Temperature >70 °C during normal operation

Maintain one spare DSC-3A per 20 door operators for <4-hour response.
