The available evidence does not establish the Lenze EVS9325-CKV003 as a direct replacement for the EVS9325-EP. The suffixes identify different functions, and the CKV unit also has a different cooling configuration.
Replacement decision
Do not substitute the EVS9325-CKV003 solely because the base model is EVS9325. Confirm both the required application function and the installed cooling arrangement before selecting a replacement.
| Model or suffix | Confirmed function | Confirmed hardware detail | Replacement implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| EVS9325-EP | Positioner | Not stated | The replacement must provide the required positioning function. |
| EVS9325-CKV003 | Cam function | Cold-plate version without a heatsink | Functional and cooling differences prevent assuming drop-in compatibility. |
| ES and EK variants | Not stated | Not stated | Firmware conversion with EP is possible only through Lenze service. |
Function and cooling must both match
The EP suffix identifies a positioner, while CKV identifies a cam variant. The evidence does not show that the CKV application function can replace the EP positioning function.
The CKV unit is a cold-plate version supplied without a heatsink. Its suitability therefore also depends on whether the machine provides the required cold-plate installation. No thermal ratings or mounting requirements are available in the evidence, so verify those requirements with Lenze before installation.
Firmware conversion has a restricted scope
Firmware can be changed among EP, ES, and EK variants, but the procedure requires a Lenze service visit because the necessary adapter is reserved for Lenze internal use. The evidence does not state that this conversion path includes CKV variants; do not treat CKV003 as firmware-convertible to EP without written confirmation from Lenze.
Verification before substitution
- Confirm that the original EVS9325-EP is used as a positioner and document the functions the machine requires.
- Inspect the installation to determine whether it supports a cold-plate unit without an integral heatsink.
- Ask Lenze service whether EVS9325-CKV003 can provide the required EP function and whether any supported conversion exists.
- If considering an EP, ES, or EK firmware conversion, arrange it through Lenze service; the required adapter is not available for external use.
FAQ
Can EVS9325-CKV003 directly replace EVS9325-EP?
Direct compatibility is not established. EVS9325-EP is a positioner, while EVS9325-CKV003 is a cam-function, cold-plate unit without a heatsink.
Can Lenze change EVS9325 firmware from EP to ES or EK?
Yes. Firmware changes among EP, ES, and EK require Lenze service and a special adapter unavailable for external use.
Does the EVS9325-CKV003 include a heatsink?
No. The evidence identifies it as a cold-plate version without a heatsink, so verify that the machine provides a suitable cooling installation.
