Potential Fire Hazard Caused by Capacitor

This Field Change Order (FCO LXYXX-S001) addresses a safety issue where an aging electrolytic capacitor (C1) in LXY series printer power supply assemblies may vent or explode, creating a fire hazard.

Applicability: This FCO applies to all LXY series printers (LXR01, LXV01, LXY01, LXY02, LXY11, LXY12, LXY21, and LXY22).

Solution: Field engineers must replace the existing C1 capacitor with a newer, higher-voltage rated capacitor. A quick check involves looking for a round colored label on top of the capacitor, which indicates it has already been replaced.

Key Procedures: - Safety precautions include disconnecting the power and discharging the capacitor. - Comprehensive step-by-step instructions for cover removal, power supply access, capacitor removal/installation, and reassembly are provided. - The procedure requires specific hand tools and a static strap to prevent damage to logic components. - Old capacitors must be disposed of in compliance with corporate hazardous material regulations, using the replacement component's packaging for return.
