6 Maintenance
In harsh environments, we recommend regular inspections for firm seating and possible dam-
ages at the device. Repair work may only be carried out by the manufacturer, see chapter
Contact [} 44].
Prior to the work
• Switch off the power supply and secure it against switching on again.
• Then disconnect the power supply lines physically.
• Remove operating and auxiliary materials and remaining processing materials from the
measuring system.
6.1 Periodic Inspection
ATTENTION
In order to ensure the reliable operation of the measuring system, the components must be
checked at regular intervals (at least once a year).
• Check the slides for excessive wear or dirt. Replace them if necessary, see chapter
Replacing the Slides [} 41].
• Clean the sensor and the coded band, see chapter Cleaning the Measuring System [} 42].
• Check the coded band for damages and foreign bodies.
A functional check must be carried out before continuing to use the system:
• Check the tight and proper seating of the rail fastening plates and the fastening of the sensor.
• Check the tension of the coded band based on the extension of the spring.
• Make sure that the coded band is properly guided between the slides, see
Step-By-Step Installation [} 37].
• Finally check and clean the coded band by removing the dirt with a cloth during an inspection
run. Do not use a cloth that would leave new dirt such as lint in the holes.
6.2 Replacing Single Components
Defective or damaged devices and device parts can only be replaced as a whole. Exclusively
the slides and their fastening components can be replaced.
