7 Maintenance and fault rectification

OPTISWITCH 4000 C • Transistor (PNP)

42372-EN-191122

Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the 

steps described in chapter "

Set up

" may have to be carried out again.

7.3  How to proceed if a repair is necessary

If it is necessary to repair the instrument, please contact the responsi-
