Routine maintenance
To help keep your XL8 Control Centre unit in good working order and to make sure it
gives you optimum performance, we recommend that you carry out the following about
once every month.
• Clean the control centre, as detailed in “Cleaning the control centre” on page 211.
• Check controls for freedom of operation. As the controls are ‘self-cleaning’, this
operation will help to prevent them from sticking.
• Check functionality of all controls, that is, control knobs, faders, pushbuttons, LEDs
etc.
• Check functionality of equipment.
Cleaning the control centre
Switch off the control centre and electrically isolate it from the mains before
cleaning.
Clean the control centre using a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh abrasives or
solvents. When cleaning the unit, take great care not to damage faders, pushbuttons
etc.
Cleaning a GUI screen
Switch off the control centre and electrically isolate it from the mains before
cleaning.
Carefully wipe the surface of the GUI screen with a soft, lint-free cloth or screen wipe
specially designed for the purpose. When cleaning the GUI screen please take the
following precautions:
• Avoid putting pressure on the screen.
• Don’t use harsh abrasives, for example, paper towels.
• Don’t apply liquids directly to the screen.
• Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners and solvents, such as acetone.
If you are in doubt have any queries about cleaning the GUI screens, please don’t
hesitate to contact us.
