Maintenance and safety inspections
N
Maintenance and repair of the devices (also opening the device) are to be performed only by
service engineers authorized and certified by h/p/cosmos, preferably within the scope of a
maintenance contract.
N
In case of a detected and/or assumed malfunction and/or defects and/or unreadable safety labels,
the device is to be disengaged immediately. Mark the device and ensure that it cannot be
operated. Inform the supplier and authorized service personnel in writing immediately.
N
Disregarding warnings, notifications of intended and forbidden use, precautions as well as
unauthorized or lack of maintenance and/or regular safety checks may lead to injuries or death
and/or can damage the device. Furthermore it will result in loss of any liability and warranty.
N
Before intervention in the device, for safety reasons, switch the running machine off and pull the
mains plug.
N
During all maintenance work and safety tests make sure that no third parties are directly or
indirectly in contact with the device under test and/or the technician performing the test. Keep a
safety zone of 2 m radius clear.
Some running machine models are not equipped with a UserTerminal. For these models an additional keyboard or an
external UserTerminal for remote control via RS232 is available as an option (see chapter entitled “Accessories”). For
maintenance and diagnosis we recommend the use of PC software h/p/cosmos para control
