Measures in the event of an error It is not possible to fully test repairs that are carried out on site. Return the defective module back to the manufacturing plant for repair. The relevant address is available from your Siemens contact person.
Incorrectly replacing components can result in death, serious injury, or material damage. • Only replace components that are described in the following sections. All other components may only be replaced by Siemens service personnel. In this case, contact the Service Center.
Maintenance 9.6 Repairs Removing the AVT combination module 1. Follow "the five safety rules (Page 11)". ① 2. Release the control cables . Carefully ensure that you do not kink the fiber optic cables. ② 3. Remove the four fixing screws of the AVT combination module.
• Only remove or insert the CompactFlash card when the power is switched off. 2. Withdraw the CompactFlash card from the Control Unit. Back up the data saved on it. 3. Copy the stored data of the previous CompactFlash card to the new original Siemens card. Note Invalid software key The software key is associated with the serial number of the CompactFlash card.
Maintenance 9.6 Repairs To replace the contactors, proceed as follows: 1. Loosen the cables. To do so, unscrew the screws. 2. Remove the contactor from the DIN rail. 3. Snap the new contactor onto the DIN rail. 4. Reattach the cables. Adhere to the markings. Do not interchange the cables. 5.
