devices are operational.
1.2.12 Hazards caused by electric power.
Ensure 0v and +24V are free from other voltages. High voltages may be superimposed on 0V
and +24V lines as no reference to ground exists. See Warning 1.2.14
Work on the electric power supply may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Check the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals.
Repair loose connections and scorched cables immediately.
Keep the control cabinet locked at all times. Access is only permitted to authorized personnel with a key
