Incoming goods inspection

The prerequisites for trouble-free and safe operation 
of the devices and modules include proper trans-
port, storage, setup and assembly, as well as proper 
operation and maintenance.
Exercise due caution when unpacking and packing 
the device, do not use force and only use suitable 
tools. 

Check:

•  Visually inspect the devices and modules for 

flawless mechanical condition. 

•  Check the scope of delivery for completeness 

before you begin the assembly and installation 
of your devices.

If it must be assumed that safe operation is no 
longer possible, take your basic device with mod-
ule out of service immediately and secure them 
against unintentional startup.

ble, for example, if the device with module:

•  has visible damage 
•  no longer functions despite an intact power 

supply

•  was subjected to extended periods of unfa-

vorable conditions (e.g. storage outside of 
the permissible climate thresholds without 
adjustment to the room climate, condensation, 
etc.) or transport stress (e.g. falling from an 
elevated position, even without visible external 
damage, etc.).

Incoming goods inspection

The prerequisites for trouble-free and safe operation 
of the devices and modules include proper trans-
port, storage, setup and assembly, as well as proper 
operation and maintenance.
Exercise due caution when unpacking and packing 
the device, do not use force and only use suitable 
tools. 

Check:

•  Visually inspect the devices and modules for 

flawless mechanical condition. 

•  Check the scope of delivery for completeness 

before you begin the assembly and installation 
of your devices.

If it must be assumed that safe operation is no 
longer possible, take your basic device with mod-
ule out of service immediately and secure them 
against unintentional startup.

ble, for example, if the device with module:

•  has visible damage 
•  no longer functions despite an intact power 

supply

•  was subjected to extended periods of unfa-

vorable conditions (e.g. storage outside of 
the permissible climate thresholds without 
adjustment to the room climate, condensation, 
etc.) or transport stress (e.g. falling from an 
elevated position, even without visible external 
damage, etc.).
