Safety Considerations Safety considerations are an important element of proper troubleshooting
procedures. Actively thinking about the safety of yourself and others, as
well as the condition of your equipment, is of primary importance.
The following sections describe several safety concerns you should be
aware of when troubleshooting your control system.
Indicator Lights
When the green MOD and NET LED on the thermocouple module are
illuminated, it indicates that power is applied to the module, that it has
passed its internal tests and that the module is communicating on the
network.
Activating Devices When Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting, never reach into the machine to actuate a device.
Unexpected machine motion could occur.
ATTENTION
ÿ
Never reach into a machine to actuate a switch because
unexpected motion can occur and cause injury.
Remove all electrical power at the main power disconnect
switches before checking electrical connections or inputs/
outputs causing machine motion.
