Preventive Maintenance
2.1.
Visual Inspection
Visually inspect all monitor system components for damaged or frayed power cords and cables, or
damaged component panels, controls, and connectors. When damage is detected, remove the
equipment from service until the damage is repaired.
2.2.
Cleaning System Components
Clean system components using a soft cloth, slightly moistened with water. Do not use commercial or
industrial cleaners that may attack the computer display and housing. Never expose the computer or
system components to water, high humidity, or dampness.
WARNING:
Before cleaning equipment, ensure the system is disconnected and power to the
units has been shut off. You must disconnect the system components and the monitor system cabinet, if
a cabinet is being used, from AC and/or DC power sources.
2.3.
Sense Leads: When Applicable/Ring Terminals
On some applications, cleaning the sense leads where they connect to the battery may be necessary.
This is normally needed when monitoring flooded batteries because electrolyte can drip or splash onto
the sense lead connections. Sense leads exposed to electrolyte must be neutralized using a water and
baking soda mixture. Brush this mixture on to the sense lead clip then rinse well with clean, cool tap
water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
2.4.
Internal Component Replacement
The monitor system has no user replaceable components. Since high voltage exists in most of the
system components, only knowledgeable users should remove the covers from components. Failure to
comply with this restriction could pose a safety hazard and/or void the product warranty.
2.5.
Shipping, Storage, Normal Use Protection
Protect the system from physical impact during normal use or storage, and when necessary, provide
protection during shipment between test sites.
