11.1 Safety provisions
Maintenance and repair work may only be performed by specialist electricians who have proved their experience with the PIX Compact series and the appli-cable safety provisions.
Warning!Comply also with the safety provisions in Chapter 1 on page 8.
11.2 Maintenance and servicing specifications
PIX Compact series indoor switchgear units have been designed for normal operating conditions in accordance with IEC 62271-1.
It is recommended to check the panels visually at regular intervals depending on the strain they are subject to during operation and in accordance with the national regulations.
Important:In case of frequent condensation or air pollution (dust, smoke or corrosive gases), the maintenance intervals must be adapted to the actual conditions.
A visual inspection includes a complete check of the panels for contamination, condensation and damage, to be performed by certified staff. If there are traces of contamination or condensation, the panels must be cleaned in expert fashion (see Chapter 11.3, page 63 and Chapter 11.4, page 63) and subsequently the drives, interlocks and position indicators checked for proper functioning (see Chapter 10 “Operation” as of page 48).
If damage is detected on the panels, these must be repaired or components be replaced (see Chapter 11.5, page 63, and Chapter 11.6, page 63).

11.3 Cleaning
Warning!Risk of injury: the drives must not be disassembled for service and maintenance work.
To ensure the specified insulating level, the insulating components must be clean. On principle, cleanliness deserves utmost attention.
When deposited dirt is detected, the panels must be cleaned in an expert fashion.
When cleaning, make sure that the lubrication in the drive mechanisms is not removed. If the drive mechanisms are no longer sufficiently lubricated, new lubrication must be applied.
Use a dry cleaning cloth to remove slight soiling:
Clean using a dry, lint-free cloth. Depending on the degree of soiling, replace cloth as often as necessary.
Use cleaning agents for severe soiling:
Cleaning agent, 1 l can (see Chapter 12.1, page 66). The use of other cleaning agents is not admissible.
● Wear protective gloves
● Use cleaning agent according to manufacturer's instructions
● Soak the cloth thoroughly and wipe the insulating components. Keep dura-tion of exposure as short as possible.
● Expose the cleaned surface to the air for at least two hours.
11.4 Avoiding condensationTo ensure the specified insulating level, the switchgear panels – especially their insulating components – must not be exposed to condensation.
Measures to take in case of condensation:
1. Should condensation be detected in or on the panels, clean the panels in accordance with Chapter 11.3, page 63).
2. Installation or inspection of panel heating. It must provide a sufficient heat-ing performance to prevent condensation on the panels.
3. Condensation can also be prevented by ensuring suitable ventilation and heating of the station or by using de-humidification devices.
11.5 Corrosion protectionDrive mechanisms and covers have a long-term protection against corrosion.Any damage to the paint, scratches and other damage must be repaired im-mediately to avoid corrosion.
11.6 Replacement of components and panels
The drive mechanisms, current transformers and voltage transformers as well as the testing and monitoring systems can be replaced if necessary. Also, entire panels can be replaced.
Should you have any queries regarding replacement of components or panels, please contact the manufacturer's Service Center.
The data on the nameplate are relevant for replacement of components or pan-els or in case of any queries (see also Chapter 2.7, page 17).

11.7 Lubrication instructions
Important:
● The bearings and joints must not be washed out by the clean-ing agent.
● The following elements must not be lubricated:
– Motor– Ball bearings– Auxiliary releases– Push switches– Blocking coils– Auxiliary switches.
● Only approved lubricants may be used (see Chapter 12.1, page 66).
Lubrication points(see also Fig. 84, page 65)
Lubricants(refer to Annex)
Lubrication procedure
Sliding contact surfaces
Synthetic lubricant
Apply a thin and uniform film of lubricant.
All accessible friction points and sliding sur-faces
Synthetic lubricant
Clean lubrication points with lint-free cotton cloth; apply a thin film of lubricant (using e.g. a paintbrush).
Bearings and joints
Liquid lubricant
Pour drops of liquid lubricant (oil can, drip feed lubricator) into the bearing gap. Liquid lubricant gets between the bearing surfaces due to the capillary effect. In case of inac-cessible lubrication points, use an extension tube or spray.
● Remove all the tools and auxiliary equipment used.
● Reinsert truck into the panel (see Chapter 4.2.4, page 25).
● Reposition covers, close doors and check switching functions (see Chap-ter 8 "Commissioning" as of page 43).
