Connect multimeter to plug connector (A22x or A23x, pins 1 and 2). Set multimeter to continuity test (acousting signal). Press rotating lock (5) in direction "lock" with thumb. Limit switch (A22s1 or A23s1) should actuate when the upper edge of the rotating lock (5) is in switching range (Z). If necessary adjust limit switch (A22s1 or A23s1) by moving in oblong holes. Apply screw-securing agent to screws (3) for limit switch (A22s1 or A23s1).
