Why Wait for the Lights to Turn Off Before I Remove a Module?

After you turn off the power, wait for all of the lights on the power
supply and controller to turn off before you disconnect any modules.

• When you turn off the power, the controller writes its project

to Flash memory.

• The MEM SAVE light turns on while the controller writes its

project to Flash memory.

• If you don’t wait for the lights to turn off, you will lose your

project.

Care of Fiber Optic Cables

Keep the fiber optic ports clean. Dirt and dust block the optic path
and reduce performance.

• Cap the ports and cables when you aren’t using them.
• Clean the ends of the cables with either:

compressed air

lint and strand free cotton swab and one of these cleaners:

Alcohols

Aliphatics

Other

methyl

hexane

soap solution

isopropyl

heptane

naphtha

isobutyl
