Recommended Routine Maintenance of the Slimline
Digital-Downloading Jukebox
Heat is the biggest enemy of electronic components. Proper maintenance is essential for maximum earnings and reliability.
It is very important to keep all cooling fans clean. Once dust and dirt is visible on a cooling fan, the airflow is reduced by at least 25%.
There are several cooling fans in the Rock-Ola jukebox (see illustration, next page.)
Recommended preventative maintenance:
Routine Service.
Performed at each collection and takes about 3 minutes.
1.
Check that the cabinet cooling fan is not blocked.
2.
Check CPU fan from the “Health Status” screen.
3.
Visually inspect the Power Supply Fan for operation. It should be spinning at a high speed at all times.
4.
Visually inspect the amplifier fan for operation. It should be spinning at a low speed if not playing and a higher speed if
playing.
5.
Be sure nothing is resting on top of a wall unit or otherwise blocking the airflow around any machine.
Collecting from the DBA
1.
To remove the bill stacker, slide the tab on the top of the DBA upwards and pull the stacker towards the back of the jukebox.
2.
Open the side door on the bill stacker to remove the cash.
3.
Slide the bill stacker back on the DBA. Be sure the green arrows are flashing.
Minor Service.
Perform a minimum of every 3 months if operating more than 14 hours per day, operating where smoking is
allowed, or otherwise a dusty environment. Perform a minimum of every 6 months if operated less than 14 hours per day in a very
clean environment. You will need a new, soft 2” paintbrush*.
1.
Gently, brush* dirt from the cabinet cooling fan. Verify operation
2.
Brush* dirt from the power supply fan.
3.
Brush* dirt from the amplifier fan.
4.
Check the operation of the CPU fan from the “health status” screen.
5.
Listen to the power supply fan and CPU fan for excessive noise or vibration.
6.
Be sure the amplifier fan is running.
7.
Clean the DBA with an approved cleaning card.
8.
Clean the Credit Card Reader with an approved cleaning card.
9.
Clean and calibrate the touchscreen.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
Any standard glass cleaner can be used to clean the touchscreen. Always spray the glass cleaner on the cloth or towel and clean the
touchscreen. Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the monitor could possibly leak inside and cause damage.
Annual Service.
Perform every year in addition to everything in the minor service.
1.
Check fluorescent lamps for excessive blackening of the ends or flickering. Replace if necessary.
2.
Vacuum the interior of the cabinet and fans.
3.
Inspect the power cord for fraying or damage and check power ground.
4.
Check all LAN connections and wiring.
5.
Listen to all speakers to make sure they are operating correctly.
Scheduled Maintenance always costs less in time and money than an unscheduled breakdown.
