The modules of the HIMA PES H41q and H51q may be removed and
inserted if the following rules are observed. The modules must be re-
moved from the bus board uninterruptedly by means of the ejection le-
ver (front label) to prevent faulty signals in the system, which can trigger
a shutdown.
The modules may not be cant by a screwdriver or by vibrations.
HIMA takes no responsibility for damages resulting from insertion and
removing of the modules.
