A.1 Safety Testing
PAT testing in accordance with local regulations, should be performed on a regular
basis, (typically annually for an instrument in daily use).
A.2 Cleaning
The fascia may be cleaned with a soft cloth, lightly dampened with water or a mild
detergent.
A.3 Troubleshooting
If an unexpected obstruction to the stage motion is encountered, the control system
interface software disables the current to the associated drive channel, which may or
may not result in the channel being disabled. After the obstruction to be removed, the
associated channel of the controller should first be disabled to clear any fault codes,
then re-enabled.
