The following table categorizes the various safety precautions to be followed when using the CIS22/QRS22 modules:

Safety Precaution Description

Electrostatic Sensitive Device
Devices labeled with this symbol require special handling
precautions as described in section 3- Installation of this
user manual.

GENERAL WARNINGS Equipment Environment

All components, whether in transportation, operation or
storage, must be in a non-corrosive environment.

Electrical Shock Hazard During Maintenance

Disconnect power or take precautions to insure that
contact with energized parts is avoided when servicing
SPECIFIC WARNINGS • Disconnect power before installing dipshunts on the

result in contact with cabinet areas that could cause
severe or fatal shock. (Refer to sub-section
3.4.8- Physical Installation of this user manual, where
this specific warning statement is applicable).

• Never clean electrical parts or components with live

power present. Doing so exposes you to an electrical
shock hazard. (Refer to sub-section
6.4.1- Printed Circuit Board Cleaning of this user
manual, where this specific warning statement is
applicable).

• Wear eye protection whenever working with cleaning

solvents. When removing solvents from printed circuit
boards using compressed air, injury to the eyes could
result from splashing solvent as it is removed from the
printed circuit board. (Refer to sub-section
6.4.1- Printed Circuit Board Cleaning of this user
manual, where this specific warning statement is
applicable).

• There are exposed AC and DC connections inside the

cabinet. These exposed electrical connections present
a shock hazard that can cause injury or death. (Refer
to sub-section 6.4.2- Checking Connections of this
user manual, where this specific warning statement is
applicable).

• If input or output circuits are a shock hazard after dis-

connecting system power at the power entry panel,
then the door of the cabinet containing these externally
powered circuits must be marked with a warning
stating that multiple power sources exist. (Refer to

1. Introduction Overview

1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The CIS22 Control I/O Module and the QRS22 Quick Response I/O Module bring four analog and three digital process field
signals into the system for processing and monitoring. They output four digital and two analog signals for process control.
The CIS22 module and the QRS22 module are interfaces between the process and the Symphony Enterprise Management
and Control System.

The CIS22 and QRS22 modules are functionally the same; however, the QRS22 module provides approximately 10 times
faster response for the analog inputs. By doing this, the input signal noise rejection is lower for the QRS22 module than it is
for the CIS22 module. The process requirements determine the module to use for the application.

NOTE: In this user manual, any reference to I/O module means both the CIS22 module and the QRS22 module.

Controllers perform the control functions; I/O modules provide the I/O to the controller.

Figure 1-1 shows a Harmony area controller and the Harmony rack controllers using the rack I/O modules for I/O interface.

1.2 Intended User

Personnel installing, operating, or maintaining the I/O modules should read this user manual before performing any
installation, operation, or maintenance procedures. Installation requires an engineer or technician with experience in
handling electronic circuitry. Personnel working with the digital output modules should have experience working on it and
know the precautions to take around AC/DC power. Knowledge of the Symphony Plus system and electronic principles is
also required.

2. Description and Operation

2.1 Introduction
This section explains the inputs, outputs, logic power and connections for the CIS22 and QRS22 modules. The I/O modules
are process field I/O interfaces for a Harmony controller.

The I/O module circuitry performs the following functions:

• Analog to digital (A/D) conversion. It changes analog inputs to digital values the controller can process.
• Digital to analog (D/A) conversion. It changes the controller digital values to analog voltage or current signals to
control process field devices.
• Accepts digital field inputs and isolates the module circuitry from the process.
• Outputs digital signals to process field devices and isolates the module circuitry from the process.
The controller communicates with its I/O modules on a parallel I/O expander bus as shown in Figure 1-1. It references the
address set by I/O address dipswitch (S1). Figure 2-1 is a block diagram of the I/O modules.

Figure 2-1 Block Diagram

2.2 Module Description

The I/O modules consist of a single printed circuit board that occupies one slot in a module mounting unit. Jumpers on the
printed circuit board configure each of the analog inputs, analog outputs and digital inputs. Analog inputs can also be
configured on its respective termination unit.

Two captive screws on the faceplate secure the module to the module mounting unit. Two front panel LEDs indicate the
module status.

The I/O module has three connection points for external signals and power (P1, P2 and P3). P1 connects to a common
(ground) and +5 VDC and ±15 VDC power (Table 5-2). P2 connects the module to the controller through the I/O expander
bus (Table 5-3). The field I/O signals are exchanged through connector P3 using a cable connected to a termination unit
(Table 5-4). The terminal blocks (physical connection points) for field wiring are on the termination unit.

The I/O module accepts digital signals of 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC and 120 VAC. Individual voltage jumpers on the
module configure each input. A fixed response time (17 milliseconds) allows the system to compensate for process field
device debounce time. The output digital signals of 24 VDC that can sink 250 milliamperes at 24 VDC and 125 milliamperes
at 48 VDC.

The I/O module accepts analog signals of 1 to 5 VDC (single ended or differential). Its respective termination unit converts a
4 to 20-milliampere current to a voltage that is sent to the I/O module. The analog output mode is selectable; jumpers select
current or voltage mode for each analog output depending on the process requirements.

The two front panel LEDs provide a visual indication of the module status to aid in system test and diagnostics. The I/O
module can be removed or installed without powering the system off.

Analog I/O 2. Description and Operation

2.3 Analog I/O

The I/O modules can input four separate analog signals configurable as voltage (1 to 5 VDC) single ended or differential, or
current (4 to 20 milliamperes) field powered. It allows for a common mode (inputs change together proportionally)
differential voltage of ±10 VDC. The I/O module output mode is selectable: current or voltage.

2.3.1 Analog Inputs

The input conditioning block consists of two pole input filters that reduce input signal noise (Figure 2-2). Refer to Table 1-4
for normal mode rejection (differential change) and common mode rejection specifications for the differential inputs. The
input conditioning block consists of an I/E (current or voltage) conversion resistor and a configuration jumper (for each
channel) to configure the I/O module to input current or voltage (single ended or differential).

Figure 2-2 Analog Input Circuit

The input select block consists of an analog multiplexer and an inverting difference amplifier. The multiplexer selects one of
the inputs or the reference block inputs (calibration voltages). The difference amplifier converts the selected input to a single
ended signal.

The A/D converter block circuit changes the input signal to a 12-bit value that is sent to the I/O expander bus interface. This
value is an analog count that corresponds to the input voltage. Nominal input range is 1 to 5 VDC (4 to 20 milliampere);
however, it allows for a 0.75 to 5.25 VDC (three to 21 milliampere) input range which is ±6.25 percent of the nominal input
range span (4 VDC).

2.3.2 Analog Input Circuit Calibration

The reference block generates accurate 1 VDC and 5 VDC signals. The I/O module does not have potentiometers to adjust
zero offset and gain for the A/D converter circuits. Instead, the controller reads the reference voltages once per minute to
calibrate the zero percent (1 VDC) and 100 percent (5 VDC) points; this calibration automatically corrects the measured
values. It is performed continuously to correct for drift and temperature variations.

2.3.3 Analog Outputs

The D/A converter block is two separate D/A converters (Figure 2-3). A four-bit microcontroller converts and checks data
integrity from the controller. Each D/A converts a 10-bit digital value (analog count) from the microcontroller to an analog
output (1 to 5 VDC). To check module circuit integrity, the outputs are fed back to the analog input section. The feedback

2-2 2VAA001810
2. Description and Operation Digital I/O

values (analog output digital values) are compared to the values that were sent to the analog output section to test the
output quality. This tests for an output circuit failure or an open loop between the controller and I/O module.

Figure 2-3 Analog Output Circuit

The analog output default jumpers set the output values during system startup or time-out. Refer to sub-section 2.10: Bus
Fault Timer of this user manual for more details. The analog outputs will go to zero percent or 100 percent output, or they
will hold their current values depending on the setting of the default jumpers. Refer to sub-section 3.4.3: Analog Output
Mode Jumpers (J9, J11, J13, J15) of this user manual for more details.

NOTE: All the analog output activities are under microcontroller control.

The analog output mode jumpers set the type of output, either current or voltage. If current mode is selected, the I/E circuits
on the I/O module convert the voltage from the D/A converter to a current output. Refer to 3.4.3: Analog Output Mode
Jumpers (J9, J11, J13, J15) for more details.

2.4 Digital I/O

The I/O modules can input three separate digital signals and output four separate digital signals. Digital inputs are voltages
of 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC or 120VAC. These voltages indicate an energized (on) field device; a zero volt input indicates
a de-energized (off) field device. The I/O module digital outputs can switch 24 VDC at 250 milliamperes or 48 VDC at
125 milliamperes.

The I/O module has a fixed propagation (speed) of 17 milliseconds for DC inputs to allow for contact debounce time.
Jumpers on the I/O module select the working voltage level and DC mode for each input. Refer to sub-section 3.4.5: Digital
Input Jumper Settings (J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6) for more details.

2.4.1 Digital Inputs

Current limiters and optocouplers in the isolation block isolate the three field inputs from the module circuitry (Figure 2-4).
The threshold detection block circuits test the input voltage to determine if it is at the proper voltage level to indicate an

2VAA001810 2-3
Digital Outputs 2. Description and Operation

energized (on) or de-energized (off) state for the field device. These values are sent to the digital I/O buffer block. Jumpers
J1 through J6 on the I/O module select the input voltage and input mode.

Figure 2-4 Digital Input Circuit

2.4.2 Digital Outputs

The output isolation block consists of optocouplers to isolate the control logic circuits from the process (Figure 2-5). Four
open collector transistors that can sink a 250 milliampere load for 24 VDC or a 125 milliampere load for 48 VDC make up
the driver block.

Figure 2-5 Digital Output Circuit

2.4.3 Digital I/O Buffer

The digital I/O buffer block is a buffer and register that holds the values of the digital inputs and outputs. The I/O expander
bus interface writes digital data to the register for output by the driver block circuits, and reads the digital input values from
the buffer.

2.5 I/O Circuit Connections

The I/O signals connect to the 30-pin card edge connector P3 of the I/O modules using a termination cable from a
termination unit. It also supplies +24 VDC power to operate the analog output circuits.

2.6 I/O Expander Bus

The I/O expander bus is a high speed synchronous parallel bus. It provides a communication path between the controller
and the I/O modules. The controller provides the control functions and the I/O module provides the input/output functions to
and from the controller. The P2 card edge connector of the I/O module and controller connects to the bus.

2-4 2VAA001810
2. Description and Operation I/O Expander Bus Interface

The I/O expander bus is parallel signal lines located on the module mounting unit backplane. A 12-position dipshunt placed
in a connection socket on the module mounting unit backplane connects the bus between the controller and I/O modules.
Cable assemblies can extend the bus to six module mounting units.

A controller and its I/O modules form an individual subsystem within a process control unit. The I/O expander bus between
the controller and the I/O module subsystems must be separated. Leaving a dipshunt socket empty or not connecting the
module mounting unit with cables separates them.

2.7 I/O Expander Bus Interface

The I/O modules use a custom gate array to perform the I/O expander bus interface function. All the control logic and
communication protocol are built into an integrated circuit.

This intergrated circuit provides the following functions:

• Address comparison and detection.
• Function code latching and decoding.
• Read strobe generation.
• Data line filtering of bus signals.
• On-board bus drivers.

2.8 Module Data

Function code 79 in the controller configuration accesses the I/O module on the I/O expander bus. It also allows the
controller to automatically read input data or status data from the I/O module, and write output data to it. This data is output
by the buffer circuits to the I/O expander bus interface (Figure 2-1). The I/O module address in FC 79 must be the same as
the address set on I/O address dipswitch (S1).

2.8.1 I/O Data

I/O data is analog input, digital input, and digital and analog output readback values that the controller reads from the I/O
module. It is also analog and digital output values that the controller sends to the I/O module. The controller uses this data
to monitor and control a process, and verify I/O module operation.

Analog input data consists of analog counts from the A/D converter. Analog counts are digital values that correspond to
analog signals; the A/D performs the conversion. The signals converted include the four analog inputs, two reference
voltages (1 VDC and 5 VDC) and two analog output readback values. The controller reads each of these count values once
every execution cycle. Each analog input count value corresponds to an analog input voltage. Reference voltage values are
read by the controller to verify A/D converter integrity. It reads the two analog output values to adjust the analog outputs and
check for output circuit failures.

The controller reads a one byte value that consists of digital output readback values and digital input values. The digital
input values indicate the digital input states. Each bit corresponds to one input; the bit value reflects the state of that input,
either open (logic zero) or closed (logic one). Digital output readback data reflects the output states. The controller uses this
data to verify that the outputs are correct. Each bit corresponds to one output; a logic one indicates an active (on) output, a
logic zero indicates an inactive (off) output.

2.8.2 Status Data

Status data is an eight-bit data value that identifies the I/O module and indicates the default values set by the analog output
default jumpers. The controller reads the identification bits (four MSB) to verify the I/O expander bus communication
integrity and controller configuration. It reads the default bits (four LSB) to determine the default states set for the analog
outputs in the event of a time-out.

2.9 Logic Power

Logic power (+5 VDC and 15 VDC) drives the I/O module circuits. It connects through the top 12-pin card edge connector
(P1) shown in Figure 2-1. P3 supplies +24 VDC to operate the analog output circuits.

2.10 Bus Fault Timer

The bus fault timer is a one-shot timer that is reset by the I/O expander bus clock; the controller generates the bus clock. If
the bus clock stops (indicating a controller error), the bus fault timer times out in 10 milliseconds. This will disable the digital
outputs and set the analog outputs to their default values (set by jumpers). A red front panel status LED indicates a bus fault
time-out.

2VAA001810 2-5
Status LED Indicators 2. Description and Operation

2.11 Status LED Indicators

Two front panel I/O module status LED indicators show the operating state of the I/O modules. Circuits on the I/O module
determine the module status and light the appropriate LED. Refer to section 4: Operating Procedures of this user manual
for explanations of the LED indications and also refer to section 5: Troubleshooting of this user manual for details on
corrective actions.

2.12 Mounting Hardware

Harmony rack I/O modules and termination units mount in standard ABB Automation enclosures (CAB-01, CAB-04, CAB-
12). The number of modules that can be mounted in a single cabinet varies.

An IEMMU11, IEMMU12, IEMMU21, or IEMMU22 Module Mounting Unit and an NFTP01 Field Termination Panel (FTP) are
used for module and termination unit mounting respectively (Figure 2-6). The mounting unit and termination panel both
attach to the side rails in standard 483-millimeter (19-inch) enclosures. Front mount and rear mount MMU versions are
available to provide flexibility in enclosure mounting.

Figure 2-6 Mounting Hardware

A module mounting unit is required to mount and provide power to rack-mounted modules. The unit is for mounting
controllers, I/O modules, and communication interface modules. The MMU backplane connects and routes:
• Controlway.
• I/O expander bus.
• Logic power to control, I/O, and interface modules.
The Controlway and I/O expander bus are internal cabinet, communication buses. Communication between rack controllers
and communication interface modules is over Controlway.

3. Installation Introduction

3. Installation
3.1 Introduction
This section explains the procedures required to place the CIS22 module or QRS22 module into operation. It includes
instructions on setting the address selection switch, jumper selections for analog I/O and digital inputs, physical installation
and wiring and cable connections. Do not proceed with operation until you read, understand and complete the steps in the
order in which they appear.

3.2 Special Handling

Observe these steps when handling electronic circuitry:
1. Use Static Shielding Bag: Keep an assembly in its static shielding bag until ready to install it in the system.
Save the bag for future use.
2. Ground Bags before Opening: Before opening a bag containing an assembly with static sensitive devices,
touch it to the equipment housing or ground to equalize charges.
3. Avoid Touching Circuitry: Handle assemblies by the edges; avoid touching the circuitry.
4. Avoid Partial Connection of Semiconductors: Verify that all devices connected to the module are properly
grounded before using them.
5. Ground Test Equipment.
6. Use an Antistatic Field Service Vacuum: Remove dust from assemblies if necessary.
7. Use a Grounded Wrist Strap: Use the ABB Automation field static kit (part number 1948385A1 - consisting of
two wrist straps, ground cord assembly, alligator clip, and static dissipative work surface) when working with
modules. The kit grounds a technician and the static dissipative work surface to the same ground point to
prevent damage to the circuitry by electrostatic discharge. Connect the wrist strap to the appropriate grounding
plug on the power supply or to an unpainted portion of the enclosure with the alligator clip. The wrist strap must
be effectively connected to the earth grounding electrode system through the AC safety ground.
8. Do Not Use Lead Pencils to Set Switches: To avoid contamination of switch contacts that can result in
unnecessary circuit board malfunction, do not use a lead pencil to set a switch.

3.3 Unpacking and Inspection

Follow the given steps to unpack and inspect the I/O modules:
1. Examine the hardware immediately to verify it has not been damaged in transit.
2. Notify the nearest ABB sales office of any such damage.
3. File a claim for any damage with the transportation company that handled the shipment.
4. Use the original packing material and container to store the hardware.
5. Store the hardware in an environment of good air quality, free from temperature and moisture extremes.

3.4 Setup and Physical Installation

Prior to installation, set the module dipswitches and install jumpers to configure the I/O modules. The termination unit must
also be configured to accept the field device signals and output the I/O module signals to the process.

3.4.1 Address Selection Switch (S1)

The I/O module can have one of 64 addresses (address 0 to 63) on the I/O expander bus. This address uniquely identifies
the module to the controller and must be the same as the address set in the controller configuration (FC 79, specification
S1).

2VAA001810 3-1
Analog Output Default Jumpers (J7, J8, J12, J14, J10, J16) 3. Installation

The address is set by the eight position address dipswitch (S1) shown in Figure 3-1. The six right switch positions (three
through eight) of S1 set the six-bit address. Positions one and two are not used and must remain in the closed position
(Figure 3-2). Table 3-1 shows an example of a binary address setting for S1.

3.4.2 Analog Output Default Jumpers (J7, J8, J12, J14, J10, J16)
The analog output default jumpers determine the I/O module analog output default values. These are the values or levels
for the analog outputs during system startup (power up) or bus fault error (time-out).

Select either a zero percent or 100 percent power up output. Selecting zero percent will output 4 milliamperes or 1 VDC;
selecting 100 percent will output 20 milliamperes or 5 VDC.

If the bus fault timer expires (times out), the digital outputs de-energize and the analog outputs change to the default value
selected. A time-out occurs when the I/O module does not receive a clock signal from the controller. The time-out options

3-2 2VAA001810
3. Installation Analog Output Mode Jumpers (J9, J11, J13, J15)

are to hold or go to power up state. The outputs will stay at their current values during a time-out if the hold option is
selected; they will change to the power up values (zero or 100 percent) if the go to power up state is selected.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for location of the jumpers and Table 3-2 for jumper settings.

termination unit.

Configure the termination unit to accept the field inputs that are sent to the I/O module, and to output the I/O module signals
that are sent to the process field device. Refer to Appendix A- NTCS04 Termination Unit of this user manual to determine
the configuration procedure.

3.4.8 Physical Installation

NOTE: This sub-section provides details pertaining to the physical installation of the control I/O only. For complete cable
and termination unit information, refer to the appropriate instruction manual (Table 1-2).

The I/O modules insert into a standard module mounting unit and each occupies one slot.

Follow the given steps to install the I/O modules:

1. Verify the slot assignment of the module.
Disconnect power before installing dipshunts on the module mounting unit backplane.
Failure to do so will result in contact with cabinet areas that could cause severe or fatal
shock.
2. Verify that a dipshunt is in the I/O expander bus socket on the backplane between the I/O module and the
controller.
3. Connect the hooded end of the termination cable from the termination unit to the module mounting unit
backplane, by inserting the connector into the backplane slot in the same slot as the one assigned to the I/O
module.

NOTE: The latches should snap securely into place.

4. Align the module with the guide rails in the module mounting unit.
5. Slide the I/O module in until the front panel is flush with the top and bottom of the mounting unit frame.
6. Push and turn the two captive retaining screws on the I/O module faceplate one half turn to the latched position.

NOTE: It is latched when the slots on the screws are vertical and the open ends face the center of the I/O
module.

3.5 Wiring Connections and Cabling

The I/O modules have three card edge connectors to supply power, connect I/O expander bus communication and provide
digital I/O (P1, P2, P3 respectively).

3-4 2VAA001810
3. Installation Wiring

3.5.1 Wiring
Installing the I/O module in the module mounting unit connects the I/O module to the logic power (+5 VDC), necessary to
drive the circuitry at P1. It also connects P2 to the I/O expander bus for communication with the controller. P1 and P2
connection require no additional wiring or cabling.

NOTE: You must install a dipshunt on the backplane of the module mounting unit to connect the I/O expander bus
between the I/O module and the controller. You also need to locate the I/O modules, so that they can be connected to the
I/O expander bus, otherwise the I/O modules do not communicate.

3.5.2 Cable Connections

The I/O modules use a NTCS04 termination unit for termination. Refer to Figure 3-3 to determine the correct cables.

4.3 Startup Procedures

The controller controls the startup of the I/O modules; it is fully automatic. FC 79 in the controller configuration enables the
I/O module. Specification S1 FC 79 is the I/O module address. It must be the same as the address set on the I/O module
address switch (S1). The front panel LED (solid green) verifies that the module is enabled and communicating.

5.1 Introduction
This section explains the error indications and corrective actions for the CIS22 module and QRS22 module.

5.2 Error Indications and Corrective Action

Status of the I/O modules can be obtained through a human system interface, such as a workstation running Conductor NT
software or the front panel status LED indicators.

When using a human system interface, check the controller for good quality on output N+9 of FC 79; 0 = good status, 1 =
bad reference status, I/O failed to respond.

5.2.1 Module Status LEDs

The front panel status LED has three states to indicate normal operation and error conditions. Table 5-1 lists status LED
states, error indications, probable causes and corrective actions.

NOTE: If the corrective actions in Table 5-1 do not correct a problem with the I/O module, replace the module.

5.2.2 Controller Errors

The controller performs status checks on the I/O module. An error will appear in the report function of a human system
interface. Refer to the appropriate instruction manual for the human system interface you are using for an explanation of
these reports.

2VAA001810 5-1
Module Pin Connections 5. Troubleshooting

FC 79 output block N+9 in the controller configuration is the I/O module status flag (logic zero=good; logic one=bad). Use a
human system interface to monitor this block. If the status flag is a logic one, check the front panel module status LED and
the human system interface report function to determine corrective actions.

NOTE: If FC 79 specification S19 is set to zero, the controller will trip when the I/O module fails or the analog input
reference voltages are out of tolerance. Changing specification S19 to a one allows the controller to continue to operate,
if any I/O module error condition exists.

5.2.2.1 Analog Input Reference Error

The controller generates an analog input reference error, if the I/O module reference voltages (1 VDC and 5 VDC) used to
calibrate the analog input zero offset and gain are not within tolerance or the analog inputs are not within tolerance.

Follow the given steps to rectify this error:

1. Check the analog inputs to verify that their voltages are within specifications (1 to 5 VDC).
2. Check the analog inputs to verify that their common mode voltage is within specifications (±10 VDC).

If the analog inputs are correct, replace the I/O module.

5.2.2.2 Missing Slave Module Error

The address set on address switch (S1) and in the controller configuration must be the same. The controller generates a
MISSING SLAVE MODULE ERROR, if they do not match. Verify that the address set on switch S1 is the same as the
address in FC 79, specification S1. If not, then perform the following steps:
1. Remove the module and change the setting of switch S1 to correspond with the controller configuration (refer to
sub-section 3.4.1- Address Selection Switch (S1) of this user manual for the procedures to set an address and to
install an I/O module).
2. Modify the address in the controller configuration (FC 79, specification S1) to correspond with the address set on
switch S1.

3. Use the human system interface to modify the configuration (for procedures on how to modify a function code
specification, refer to the appropriate instruction manual for the human system interface you are using).

The controller generates a missing slave module error if the I/O expander bus is not connected to the I/O module. Verify the

6. Maintenance
6.1 Introduction
The reliability of any stand-alone product or control system is affected by the maintenance of the equipment. It is
recommended that all equipment users practice a preventive maintenance program that will keep the equipment operating
at an optimum level.

This section presents procedures that the customer should be able to perform on site. These preventive maintenance
procedures should be used as a guideline to assist in establishing good preventive maintenance practices.

Personnel performing preventive maintenance should meet the following qualifications.

• Should be qualified electrical technicians or engineers that know the proper use of test equipment.
• Should be familiar with the module mounting unit
• Have experience working with process control systems, and know what precautions to take when working on live
AC and/or DC systems.

6.2 Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Table 6-1 is the preventive maintenance schedule for the I/O modules. The table lists the preventive maintenance tasks in
groups according to their specified maintenance interval. Instructions for tasks that require further explanation are covered
under sub-section 6.4: Preventive Maintenance Procedures of this user manual.
NOTE: The preventive maintenance schedule is for general purposes only. Various applications may require special
attention.

Table 6-1 Preventive Maintenance Schedule

• Cleaning printed circuit boards and edge connectors.
• Checking signal, power and ground connections.

6.4.1 Printed Circuit Board Cleaning

There are several circuit board cleaning procedures in this section. These procedures cover circuit board cleaning and
washing, cleaning edge connectors and circuit board laminate between edge connectors. Use the procedures that meet the
needs of each circuit board. Remove all dust, dirt, oil, corrosion or any other contaminant from the circuit board.

2VAA001810 6-1
Checking Connections 6. Maintenance

Do all cleaning and handling of the printed circuit boards at static-safe workstations. Always observe the steps under
sub-section 3.2: Special Handling of this user manual when handling printed circuit boards.
Never clean electrical parts or components with live power present. Doing so exposes you
to an electrical shock hazard.

Wear eye protection whenever working with cleaning solvents. When removing solvents
from printed circuit boards using compressed air, injury to the eyes could result from
splashing solvent as it is removed from the printed circuit board.

6.4.1.1 General Cleaning and Washing

If the printed circuit board needs minor cleaning, remove dust and residue from the printed circuit board surface using
clean, dry, filtered compressed air or an antistatic field service vacuum cleaner.

To wash the printed circuit board:

1. Clean the printed circuit board by spraying or wiping it with isopropyl alcohol (99.5% electronic grade).

NOTE: Use a foam-tipped swab to wipe the circuit board.

2. Remove excess solvent by using compressed air to blow it free of the circuit board.

6.4.1.2 Edge Connector Cleaning

Follow the given steps to clean the edge connector:

1. Use a solvent mixture of 80% isopropyl alcohol (99.5% electronic grade) and 20% distilled water.
2. Soak a lint-free cloth with the solvent mixture.
3. Work the cloth back and forth parallel to the edge connector contacts.
4. Repeat with a clean cloth that is soaked with the solvent mixture.
5. Dry the edge connector contact area by wiping with a clean lint-free cloth.

To clean tarnished or deeply stained edge connector contacts:

1. Remove tarnish or stains by using a nonabrasive eraser.

NOTE: Fiberglass or nylon burnishing brushes may also be used.

2. Minimize electrostatic discharge by using the 80/20 isopropyl alcohol/water solution during burnishing.

NOTE: Do not use excessive force while burnishing but use only enough force to shine the contact surface.

3. Inspect the edge connector after cleaning to assure no loss of contact surface.
4. Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth.

6.4.2 Checking Connections

NOTE: Power to the cabinet should be off while performing this preventive maintenance task.
There are exposed AC and DC connections inside the cabinet. These exposed electrical
connections present a shock hazard that can cause injury or death.

If input or output circuits are a shock hazard after disconnecting system power at the
power entry panel, then the door of the cabinet containing these externally powered
circuits must be marked with a warning stating that multiple power sources exist.

Check all signal wiring, power and ground connections within the cabinet to verify their integrity. When checking
connections, always turn a screw, nut or other fastening device in the direction to tighten only. If the connection is loose, it
will be tightened. If the connection is tight, the tightening action will verify that it is secure. There must not be any motion
done to loosen the connection.

NOTES:
1.Verify that all power connections within the cabinet are secure.

2.Verify that all wiring connections to the termination unit are secure.
