Module Surfaces
With headset connector dust caps firmly in place and network connectors fully secured with IP-
rated connector housings, all exposed surfaces of Headset Stations and Wireless Gateways
can be wiped down with a clean cloth and washed with a mild soap and water mixture. Liquid
dish detergents are good examples of mild soaps that do not leave a residue when rinsed away
with water.
Periodic application of a suitable UV protectant such as Marine 31, various 303 products, or
standard Armor All protectants onto the surface of the enclosure and keypads will not only clear
surface dust and debris but will protect these materials against harmful UV rays. Always follow
the manufacturers recommended instructions and guidelines, but in general such protectants
should be applied with a clean cloth and allowed to penetrate the surface before wiping clear.
Master Station
Where Master Stations in the vast majority of marine applications are installed in
environmentally protected areas, and system aspects such as cable connections and
disassembly for removal or installation of add-in cards are rarely - if ever - needed, regular
cleaning and maintenance methods described elsewhere in this manual for connectors,
surfaces, etc., should not be an on-going concern. Of course, wherever evidence of dust, debris
or water exposure should be found on the Master Station, cleaning and basic maintenance may
be called for
(see Figure 12)
In such instances, first disconnect the power cable and all network, radio and auxiliary cables
from the Master Station lid. Next, temporarily remove the Master Station from its mounted
location. Then, using compressed air, blow out any evidence of dust or debris from all
connectors and crevices on the Master Station lid while holding the unit with the lid and a
downward angle allowing said debris to fall completely from the unit.
