outine maintenance

The CDD has no user-serviceable part and needs no maintenance interventions.

Do not attempt to dismantle the equipment or make any internal repairs!. Any attempt to open

the equipment could comprise the integrity of the casing’s insulation and violate the integrity

of the NEMA 1 rating and/or create a hazard.

When cleaning, DO NOT use rags made of filamentary material or corrosive products that may damage

parts of the equipment or generate electrostatic charges.
