You must perform an inspection every fifth year to ensure
full functionality of the product.
Recommended inspection procedure:
1. Ensure that the motor is allowed to start, i.e. the motor is cold
and there is enough water in the pit.
2. With the PTC sensors connected, start the motor and observe
that it runs.
3. Disconnect power from the panel.
4. Disconnect the PTC sensors from IO 242.
5. Reconnect power to the panel.
6. Attempt to start the motor and observe that it does not start,
and ensure that an alarm for high motor temperature is
present.
7. Disconnect power from the panel, and reconnect the PTC
sensors to IO 242.
8. Perform a visual inspection to ensure that the PTC wiring is
correct.
9. Reconnect power to the panel.
