The Soloist and external wiring should be inspected monthly. Inspections may be required

Table 6-7 lists the recommended checks that should be made during these inspections.
The Soloist (all Aerotech equipment) is not to be used in a manner not specified by
Aerotech, Inc.
Table 6-7. 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 Soloist.
Note: Disconnect power to avoid shock hazard.
Visually inspect all cables and
connections.
Tighten or re-secure any loose connections.
Replace worn or frayed cables. Replace broken
connectors.
6.5.1. Cleaning
The Soloist 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 Soloist 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 Soloist while cleaning. Do not allow
cleaning substances or other fluids to enter the Soloist or to get on to any of the
connectors. Cleaning labels should be avoided to prevent erasing label information.
Disconnect power to the Soloist main supply and optional supply before cleaning.
