Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual
Maintenance
Chapter 3: Maintenance
D A N G E R : For your own safety and for the safety of the equipment, do not remove the cover
of the Ensemble LAB or attempt to access its internal components.
There is no reason to remove the cover or access the internal components. The Ensemble LAB does not
have any user-configurable switches or jumpers. Internal fuses are not user-replaceable.
N O T E :
Having to replace a fuse indicates a more serious problem with the system or setup; consult
Aerotech for assistance.
3.1. Preventative Maintenance
The Ensemble LAB and external wiring should be inspected monthly. Inspections may be required at more
frequent intervals, depending on the environment and use of the system.
D A N G E R : Always disconnect the Mains power connection before opening the Ensemble
LAB chassis.
Table 3-1:
Preventative Maintenance
Check
Action to be Taken
Visually Check chassis for loose or damaged parts
/ hardware.
Note
: Internal inspection is not required.
Parts should be repaired as required. If internal
damage is suspected, these parts should be
checked and repairs made if necessary.
Inspect cooling vents.
Remove any accumulated material from vents.
Check for fluids or electrically conductive material
exposure.
Any fluids or electrically conductive material must
not be permitted to enter the Ensemble LAB.
Visually inspect all cables and connections.
Tighten or re-secure any loose connections.
Replace worn or frayed cables. Replace broken
connectors.
Cleaning
The Ensemble LAB chassis can be wiped with a clean, dry, soft cloth. The cloth may be slightly moistened if
required with water or isopropyl alcohol to aid in cleaning if necessary. In this case, be careful not to allow
moisture to enter the Ensemble LAB or onto exposed connectors / components. Fluids and sprays are not
recommended because of the chance for internal contamination, which may result in electrical shorts and/or
corrosion. The electrical power must be disconnected from the Ensemble LAB while cleaning. Do not allow
cleaning substances or other fluids to enter the Ensemble LAB or to get on to any of the connectors. Avoid
cleaning labels to prevent removing the label information.
