7.2 ALL METAL
1. Use an abrasive pad to scrub the contact surfaces of each panel.
2. Use a clean rag dampened with rubbing alcohol or similar fluid to wipe any
remaining particulate from the edges.
7.3 SCREEN ROOM
1. To clean the edges of a screen covered panel, use a light steel brush to
remove excess dirt before bolting panels into position.
2. Use a heavy duty vacuum after brushing to remove any loose dirt from the
contact surface.
Due to the
sensitive
surface, use caution
when cleaning a panel
covered in 3 oz copper.
Once cleaned,
do not touch
the edges with bare
hands; the oil from
bare hands can reduce
contact between panels.
It is
recommended
that the surface of a
screen enclosure be
cleaned every
three months.
Dust and dirt
on a screen
room will not affect
RF integrity. However,
visibility through the
screen will be affected
if build
up is severe.
Before performing any
maintenance, follow
the safety information
in the ETS-Lindgren
