Damage due to cleaning agents
The use of cleaning agents may cause damage to the product and its components.
• Clean the product and all its components only with a cloth moistened with clear water.
Adverse ambient conditions reduce maintenance intervals
Location and ambient conditions influence the maintenance intervals. Note that cleaning and corrosion protection
may be required more frequently depending on the conditions at the installation site.
• If the product is subject to adverse ambient conditions, a reduction of the maintenance intervals is
recommended. Above all, the intervals between cleaning work and corrosion protection should be reduced.
• SMA recommends a monthly optical inspection to determine the maintenance requirement.
Required maintenance materials and tools
Only those consumables and maintenance materials not normally included in the standard equipment of an electrically
qualified person are listed. It is taken for granted that standard tools and materials such as torque wrenches, one-
contact voltage testers and wrenches will be available for all maintenance operations.
☐ To repair minor surface corrosion damage: touch-up sticks, paint brushes, spray paint or, alternatively, 2K-PUR
acrylic paint (RAL-Farbe: 7035)
☐ To repair large-surface corrosion damage: touch-up sticks or, alternatively, 2K-PUR acrylic paint (RAL color: 7035)
☐ Abrasive cloth
☐ Degreaser
☐ For maintaining the seals: talcum, petroleum jelly or wax
