Routine Maintenance and Inspection

8.1.2 List of Periodic Inspection Items
Check the items listed in the following table every one or two years, dependent on
actual use and work environment of the product. Periodic maintenance helps detect
product function deterioration and damage.
Copy this checklist and sign the "Checked" column after each inspection.
To prevent electric shock, do not perform inspection or wiring with power ON. Switch off
the power supplies of all the devices before wiring or maintenance. Wait for at least a peri‑
od of time specified on the product warning label before further operations because resid‑
ual voltage still exists after power‑off. Measure the DC voltage in the main circuit to ensure
the DC voltage is within the safe range; failure to comply may result in electric shock.
