The material handling directive EN1175 requires periodic testing of the controller’s
fault detection circuitry to be checked in one of the following modes (choose the one
you prefer):
1) Switch on the key and try to disconnect the stepper motor or the twin pot. An
alarm, stopping the traction should immediately occur.
2) Try to disconnect the steering motor. After switching on the key an alarm
stopping the traction should immediately occur as soon as the steering (or
handle) wheel rotates.
