10.3 Replace and Return Defective Device

Backup Module

10.3.1
If you cannot correct a defect reported by the device, you can replace this device with a backup device. If the
error is on the base module, only the base module is replaced. Expansion modules belonging to the device
remain at the installation location and are connected to the backup base module. If the error is on an expan-
sion module, only this expansion module is exchanged.
The backup module must be of the same type as the defective module to be replaced. If you replace the defec-
tive base module, the backup base module is configured with available project data from DIGSI.

Replacing a Device

10.3.2
NOTE
i
i
If the device comprises a base module and expansion modules, you can exchange the base module as well
as the expansion modules individually for the respective replacement modules.
•
Take the device out of operation.
•
Remove the wired terminal blocks from the module to be exchanged or alternatively all lines from the
device.
•
Remove the device (see chapter
•
If needed, remove the defective base module from the expansion modules.
Installing a Replacement Module
•
If needed, assemble the replacement base module with the expansion modules.
•
Assemble the device (see chapter
•
Put the device back into operation (see chapter

Returning a Device

10.3.3
NOTE
i
i
If the wired terminals of the defective base module are to remain in the system, fit the defective base
module with the terminals of the replacement module or order replacement terminals.
•
Ensure that the devices are either shipped with the original current and voltage terminals or, alternatively
– if the wired terminals are to remain in the system – with the designated transport safety devices.
If there are green single-row voltage terminals, it is irrelevant in terms of transport whether or not they
are plugged in. They do not require any alternative transport safety device.
•
Protect the optical interfaces on the communication or arc-protection modules against the ingress of
dust. Use, for example, the protective caps provided in the delivery condition.
•
Pack the defective module (base module and expansion module) or the complete device (see chapter
1.1 Unpacking, Repacking, Returning, and
•
Return all of the defective module to your Siemens sales partner.
NOTE

If the base module is incomplete, for example if terminals are missing, it cannot be taken back.
