Troubleshooting
Troubleshoot
Applicable model: EX12#-SCM#
If a SI unit gets an operation failure, look for the problem using the following flow chart.
If any cause of the problem cannot be found, and a new SI unit can operate well after replaced with the old
one, the failure of SI unit is conceivable. As the failure of SI unit may happen due to the operation
environment (network construction etc), consult us about the countermeasure against that case.
