This chapter describes how to identify faults on the MLG-2.
10.1 Response to faults
CAUTION
Ce
ase operation if the cause of the malfunction has not been clearly identified.
Immediately put the machine out of operation if you cannot clearly identify the fault and
if you cannot safely remedy the problem.
10.2 SICK support
If you cannot remedy the error with the help of the information provided in this chapter,
plea
se contact your respective SICK subsidiary.
10.3 LED indicators and error indicators
This section explains what the LED error indicators mean. The status indicators are
