Daily Inspection
Check the following items with the system in operation.
•
The motor should not be vibrating or making unusual noises.

There should be no abnormal heat generation.
•
The ambient temperature should not be too high.
•
The output current value shown on the monitor displays should not be higher than normal.

Periodic Inspection
Check the following items during periodic maintenance.
Always turn OFF the power supply before beginning inspection. Confirm that the LCD and LED indicators on
the front cover have all turned OFF, and then wait until at least five minutes has elapsed before beginning the
inspection. Be sure not to touch terminals right after the power has been turned off. Doing so can result in
electric shock.
