9.4 Service messages
A service message will appear in the automatic feeder's display every four months. This mes-
sage indicates the maintenance (regular service) that must be performed. Compliance with
these maintenance intervals is the only way to ensure the long life and reliability of the automatic
feeder.
The following regular services (RS) have been defined:
• RS1 must be performed every 4 months.
• RS2 must be performed every 12 months.
• RS3 must be performed every 36 months.
Using Setup > Service > last, check when the last regular service were performed and in Type
which regular service it was (RS1, RS2 or RS3).
Using Setup > Service > next, check when the next regular service is due and check in Type
to see which regular service will be carried out (RS1, RS2 or RS3).
9.4.1 Service work
For each regular service, there are various service packages (sets of spare parts) with the spare
parts required, which will differ, depending on the type of feeder and type of service. After re-
placing the parts subject to wear, you must also check that the feeder is working properly, for
example, the calibration. The service work is described in the installation information for the sets
of spare parts.
You can collect the corresponding service packages (sets of spare parts) via a regular service
configuration tool which can be found in the dealer area of Förster-Technik's web site (www.fo-
erster-technik.de).
