Maintenance
Read Safety information on page 6 before maintaining the product. Always
comply with the safety instructions.
Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified
service technician.
Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes
overheating and will damage the product. Damage caused by inadequate
cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Disconnect mains power before cleaning or servicing the product.
Products must be serviced in an area where there is no risk of anyone being
injured by failing parts, tools or other materials.
Cleaning
Cleaning schedules vary depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to
specify precise cleaning intervals for the product. Environmental factors that may result in a need
for frequent cleaning include airborne dust and pollution.
Inspect products frequently to see whether cleaning is necessary. If in doubt, consult your
Martin® dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
To clean the product, use warm water and a soft brush or a low-pressure or medium-pressure
water jet. Use car shampoo to help remove dirt and grease. If possible, dry with a soft cloth to
avoid streaking. Do not use a stiff brush or scouring pad. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Installing new software
The Passive Junction Box, Break-In Cable and Break-Out Cable do not contain any software, but
the Active Junction Box contains software and you may need to upload new software (i.e. device
firmware) if it appears to have a software-related fault or if you want to update to a newer
software version.
Software for Martin® products is available via the Martin Companion application, which can be
downloaded free of charge from the from the Martin® website.
The software can be installed from the P3 System Controller over the P3 data link. See the P3
System Controller user manual for software installation instructions.
