Diagnostics and troubleshooting
10.1
What to do in case of failure?
After switching the safety sensor on, the display elements (see chapter 3.3 "Display elements") assist in
checking the correct functionality and in faultfinding.
In case of error, you can determine the error from the LED displays. With the error message you can deter-
mine the cause of the error and initiate measures to rectify it.
NOTICE
If the safety sensor responds with an error display, you will often be able to eliminate the
cause yourself!
Ä
Switch off the machine and leave it switched off.
Ä
Analyze and eliminate the cause of the fault using the following table.
Ä
If you are unable to rectify the fault, contact the Leuze branch responsible for you or call the
Leuze customer service (see chapter 11 "Service and support").
