That great advice and I'm glad to hear you have Hotline. That word 'Hotline' itself contents a word 'Hot' that is very close to the meaning of word 'emergency'. Isn't it?
Fortunately, I have no emergency case. It's just usuall engineering work on selection of the proper components for a project.
However, you should understand that there are some rules, doesn't matter where NAm, EU, Near East and so on, that sound that communication via E-mails are prefferable and for emergency cases only is used such stuff like Hotline calls. I think you have something like this limitation as well.
Normally, as it had done by other companies that produce products for automation, you must have Hotline E-mail address, where an engineer on duty would answer questions within a working day or so.
So please do me a favour, tell me Hotline Phoenix Contact's e-mail.
