WARNING
Ensure safe condition for cleaning work
Basically, electronic devices are not fail-safe. The condition is al-
ways safe when the unit is switched off and not energized. For
cleaning work, bring the connected motors and the machine into
a safe state.
Carrying cleaning work during operation can lead to serious or fa-
tal injuries.
Do not immerse or spray XPlanar components
Wipe the XPlanar components with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning by immersion can lead to damage to the XPlanar compo-
nents and surfaces as well as to leak-tightness problems due to im-
permissible solutions.
Do not apply cleaning agent to XPlanar components
For heavier soiling on the XPlanar components, isopropanol can be
applied to a clean, lint-free cloth. Never apply the cleaning agent di-
rectly to the XPlanar components.
Applying cleaning agents to the XPlanar components can result in
consequential damage to surfaces and electronics.
Beckhoff recommends regular maintenance in order to prevent per-
manent damage to the system. Contamination, dust or chips can
have a negative effect on the function of the components. In the
worst case, contamination can lead to failure. Therefore, clean and
maintain the components at regular and necessary intervals. Ob-
serve the corresponding IP classes of the components when clean-
ing.
