Repairs 

 

Repairs or any modifications to the Zener barrier (right side of the housing) by the user are 
strictly prohibited. It’s also strictly prohibited to replace fuses. Defective units are to be 
destroyed in an environment friendly way, or to be returned to the manufacturer for repair. 

 
When replacing fuses of the modem board (left part of the housing) ensure that fuses of the same 
specification are used (amperage and response sensitivity)  
 
When replacing the module carrier with TC65i(x) modem ensure 

that it’s compatible with the present version 

of the mainboard and is equipped with the correct firmware version. In case of any doubt, please contact the 
manufacturer. 
 

 
5.4 

The absorption pack 

 

On the inside of the cover there is a moisture absorption 
pack located to prevent the accumulation of moisture. 
The pack is mounted in the cover with Velcro fasteners 
and therefore it can be exchanged in case of saturation. 
Whether and how often the pack needs to be changed is 
highly dependent on local conditions and also the skill 
with which the appliance is installed. It is very essential 
that the cable entry glands are sufficiently tightened after 
installation, and also the cover should be placed precisely 
on the housing in accordance with a clean seal in the 
cover. The unit should never be opened during rain 
where the risk exists that water enters the housing. To 

avoid water in the housing 

it’s required to take sufficient protective measures. 

 

5.5 

Pressure relief valve 

 

In order to prevent that the pressure inside the housing 
is different from the actual atmospheric pressure a 
pressure relief valve is installed in the cover. This 
valve is watertight but can control the pressure by 
using a diaphragm. In case of temperature fluctuations 
over-pressure and under-pressure in the housing can 
occur. Over-pressure in the housing has no adverse 
effects but under-pressure can result in the entry of 
moisture. Because the pressure in the housing is 
always adapted to the actual atmospheric pressure, 
there can be no pressure differential created, and 
therefore also no under-pressure.
