released during intended use. Normally, no adverse effects on human beings and the
environment have to be expected.
Electronics from Bosch Rexroth mainly consist of:
•• Plastics
•• Electronic components and assemblies
•• Copper

12.5 Recycling
Due to the high share of metals the material of the products can mostly be recycled.
To achieve optimum metal recovery, the products have to be disassembled. The
metals contained in electric and electronic assemblies can also be recycled with
the help of special separation processes. As far as products contain batteries, these
must be removed before the recycling process and recycled in a specific battery
recycling process.

22/28 Extension and conversion

13 Extension and conversion

Electronics, cards and modules from Rexroth must neither be extended nor
modified. If you convert the devices, the warranty becomes void.

14 Troubleshooting
The devices are usually not susceptible to faults, as far as prescribed operating and
ambient conditions are complied with.

14.1 How to proceed for troubleshooting

▶▶ Always act systematically and focused, even under pressure of time. Random and
imprudent disassembly and changing of settings might result in the inability to
ascertain the original cause of fault.
▶▶ First obtain a general overview of how your device works in conjunction with the
entire system.
▶▶ Try to determine whether the device worked properly in conjunction with the
entire system before the troubles occurred.
▶▶ Try to determine any changes of the entire system in which the device is
integrated:
––Were there any changes to the product’s operating conditions or operating
range?
––Were there any changes (e.g. retrofit) or repairs carried out on the complete
system (machine/system, electrics, control) or on the device? If yes, which?
––Was the device or machine used as intended?
––How did the malfunction manifest itself?

▶▶ Try to get a clear idea of the error cause. If possible, ask the direct (machine)
operator.
