🛠️ Installation & Maintenance
Before replacing a PCM3.1, isolate all relevant controller and auxiliary power supplies. The PCM3.1 is a replaceable hardware module and should not be hot-swapped.
Recommended replacement procedure:
- Shut down the affected generator/control system according to the site procedure.
- Disconnect all applicable power sources.
- Observe ESD protection requirements when handling the PCB.
- Disconnect Ethernet cables and terminal connections as required.
- Remove the existing module using the appropriate mounting hardware.
- Verify the replacement part number and hardware revision.
- Install the replacement module in the correct controller slot.
- Reconnect communication and terminal connections.
- Restore system power and check the module status indication.
- Confirm controller communication, configuration, alarms, and generator-control functions before returning the system to normal service.
Avoid touching exposed PCB circuitry unnecessarily. The exact firmware, configuration, and compatibility requirements should be confirmed against the installed DEIF controller.
