9-4 Maintenance and Replacement

This section describes the routine cleaning and inspection recommended as regular maintenance as well as the Unit replacement procedure required if a DeviceNet Unit fails.

9-4-1 Cleaning

Clean the DeviceNet Units regularly as described below in order to keep the network in its optimal operating condition.

Wipe the Unit daily with a dry, soft cloth.

When a spot can’t be removed with a dry cloth, dampen the cloth with a neutral cleanser (2% solution), wring out the cloth, and wipe the Unit.

A smudge may remain on the Unit from gum, vinyl, or tape that was left on for a long time. Remove the smudge when cleaning.

Never use volatile solvents such as paint thinner, benzene, or chemical wipes.

These substances could damage the surface of the Unit.

ity or under dirty/dusty conditions.

 

 

Inspection Equipment

Prepare the following equipment before inspecting the system.

 

 

 

Required Equipment
