7 Maintenance and fault rectification
7.1 Maintenance
When used as directed in normal operation, OPTISWITCH
4000 C is completely maintenance free.
7.2 Rectify faults
OPTISWITCH 4000 C offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless
faults can occur during operation. These may be caused by the
following, e.g.:
l
Sensor
l
Process
l
Power supply
l
Signal processing
The first measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In
many cases, the causes can be determined this way and the
faults rectified.
?
Control lamps off
