9.3 Checking and replacing air intake filters
In normal use the air intake filters for the internal fans can become contaminated with
dust leading to impaired cooling of the apexDRIVE.
It is recommended to check the condition of filters regularly.
Depending on the nature of the contamination it may be possible to clean the filter
media. Alternatively, packs of spare filter media can be supplied by Kinesys to allow
replacement when needed.
1. Turn off power to apexDRIVE
2. Unclip cover from each filter housing in turn
3. Remove the filter media (external metal mesh and internal woven particulate
filter)
4. Clean filters (light contamination with dry dust may be knocked out or blown
through with an airline); if filter remains dirty it should be replaced.
5. Replace filters as required
6. Insert woven filter first, then the outer metal mesh. Clip the plastic cover back on
to retain the filter.
7. Check exhaust ports on the front of the apexDRIVE are clean and unobstructed.
Warning!
To avoid contamination of the internal electronics with dust/dirt do NOT
operate apexDRIVE without filter media correctly installed.
9.4 Periodic testing
The apexDRIVE is safety tested during manufacture:
Earth Bond 25A
500V DC Insulation Resistance
Periodic safety testing should be carried out. Contact Kinesys for more details.
Warning!
To avoid damage to the internal electronics, do NOT flash (Hi-Pot) test
apexDRIVE or apexHOIST.
9.5 Spare parts
For continued service and long working life it is recommended to contact Kinesys, or
your local distributor to obtain original spare parts for your apexDRIVE. See spare parts
