Visual inspection
Perform a visual inspection monthly by:

Checking the enclosure, cable entries and cables for damage.

Checking the screwed connections for tight fit.

Checking the error memory for content.
Cleaning
No solvents should be used to clean the APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet as
these can impair the properties on contact with the seals.
Regular maintenance
Depending on the purity of purging air used, the inlet and outlet of the
components carrying purging gas must be checked regularly for impurities (e.g.
oil, dust, etc.) or corrosion.
In the case of anomalies, the operator should weigh up the possibility of a
timely and proper cleaning by BARTEC GmbH against a spontaneous failure.
Furthermore, the function of the overall system should be checked. The correct
sequence of the purging phase and of the operating phase should be checked.
Repairs
Repairs to the APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet and accessories may only be
made by BARTEC GmbH.

ATTENTION
AN ALTERED OPERATING BEHAVIOUR CAN BE AN INDICATION OF ALREADY


Only put the Ex p system back into operation after the cause of a
fault has been rectified.
Use the respective operating instructions for the Ex p control unit as well as the
corresponding technical documentation of the APEX (SILAS) pressurized
cabinet for troubleshooting.
