  • Page 29: Maintenance

    9 Maintenance The controller was conceived for years of continuous trouble-free operation. Nevertheless, faults may occur. Maintenance may only be performed by professional personnel. In most cases, however, the fault does not lie with the controller, but rather with the peripheral components. The following description covers the most common problems encountered with the controller.
