strap must be positioned in the horizontal plane (as

the mounting holes must also be on the same
horizontal plane as the back strap.

The guard is not possible on the EN54-23 version.
5.0 Maintenance
During the working life of the unit, it should require little
or no maintenance. GRP will resist attack by most acids,
alkalis and chemicals and is as resistant to concentrated
acids and alkalis as most metal products. However, if
abnormal or unusual environmental conditions occur due
to plant damage or accident etc., then visual inspection is
recommended.
If the unit requires cleaning, then only clean exterior
with a damp cloth to avoid electro-static charge build
up. Replacement of the xenon tube (see below) can be
carried out by competent site personnel. Other repairs
should be undertaken by returning the unit to MEDC.
If a unit fault should occur, then the unit can be repaired
by MEDC. All parts of the unit are replaceable.
If you acquired a significant quantity of units, then it
is recommended that spares are also made available.
Please discuss your requirements with the Technical Sales
Engineers at MEDC.
During maintenance, if the cover/lens assembly grease
needs to be re-applied, a PFPE (Perfluoropolyether) based
grease such as Krytox GPL203 by DuPont or Perfluorolube
22/6 by Performance Fluids Ltd. Should be used, to
prevent damage to the O-ring.
