SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
“MERCOR" S.A. equipment should be subjected to periodical technical inspections
and maintenance activities every 6 months during the entire period of operation, i.e. during the
warranty period as well as after the warranty period. Inspections and maintenance should be carried
out by the manufacturer or by companies authorized to service "MERCOR" S.A. devices.
Physical access to the equipment is required to perform maintenance as well as service and warranty
activities such as inspections or repairs. If equipment is mounted on the roof, it must also be possible
to access the roof (ladder or hoist).
It is advised to perform the following between inspections:
1.
Check the condition of electrical connections, paying particular attention to mechanical
damage.
2.
Check the condition of pneumatic connections, paying particular attention to mechanical
damage.
3.
Check the hook consoles (for full closing and no blockage).
4.
Check whether the pressing frame holding the leaf glazing is securely fixed and the gaskets
adhere to the glazing.
5.
Periodically clean the dome/polycarbonate panel surfaces: use a sponge or soft cloth and
lukewarm water with mild household cleaners. The panels must not be scrubbed with brushes
or sharp objects. Abrasives, strong alkalis, solvents, etc. must not be used. In case of doubt,
test the agent on a sample or small area.
Due to natural processes in the atmosphere, condensation may occur in the chambers of
polycarbonate panels. This is usually manifested by the appearance of a mist or, in the case of severe
dampness, by clear drips. If diffusion air exchange is ensured between the air inside the chambers and
the outside air, after some time the moisture content in both areas will equalize and the visual effects
described above will disappear.
Condensation does not affect the life of the material or the quality of the product.
NOTE:
It is forbidden to use salt to remove snow from roofs on which mcr S-THERM smoke exhaust vents are
installed - it may cause discoloration and damage to polycarbonate plates, acrylic domes or aluminium
profiles. Damage to the vents caused in this way does not constitute grounds for complaint.
In matters related to technical inspections, maintenance and servicing of the equipment, please
contact the local representatives of "MERCOR" S.A. or Service Department at phone: 58/ 341 42
