5 Fault Finding
Users must not attempt to repair the FXM5 if it is faulty, nor carry out fault
diagnosis other than through the use of the diagnostic features described in this
section.
Under no circumstances must the casing of the FXM5 be opened when the AC
supply is connected.
If the FXM5 is faulty, it must be returned to an authorized Control Techniques
distributor for repair.
Electric shock risk
If the FXM5 controller has been energized, the supply must be isolated for at least
five minutes. This allows the internal capacitors to discharge fully before work
may continue. Refer to Safety information ontheinsidefrontcoverofthisuser
guide.
