Flexible Safety Unit G9SX 15
Fault Detection
When the G9SX detects a fault, the ERR indicator and/or other indicators light up or blink to inform the user about the fault.
Check and take necessary measures referring to the following table, and then re-supply power to the G9SX.

Blinks
--- Fault due to electro-
magnetic disturbance or of
internal circuits.
1) Excessive electro-magnetic disturbance
2) Failure of the internal circuit
1) Check the disturbance level around the G9SX
and the related system.
2) Replace with a new product.
