Although troubleshooting may, on occasion, have to be carried out while the power
supply is turned on, the robot must be turned off (by setting the mains switch to OFF)
when repairing faults, disconnecting electric leads and disconnecting or connecting
units.
The mains supply to the robot must be connected in such a way that it can be turned
off outside the robot's working space.
Be aware of stored electrical energy (DC link) in the controller.
Units inside the controller, e.g. I/O modules, can be supplied with power from an exter-
nal source.
