AINTENANCE AND WARRANTY
11.1 Maintenance
,
Strictly follow what is written in this paragraph.
11.1.a Clogging by dust
Since the Eagle 2000 amplifier is air cooled, it is subject to clogging by dust. Because of its high-quality materials and manufacturing,
if it’s installed according to the instructions in Chapter 4, it won’t require special maintenance for quite some time.
A regular service routine, mainly to remove internal dust from the filter net mounted inside the front panel (behind the front ventilation
grid)
[3], is recommended over a 4 to 6 months intervals.
11.1.b Cooling
fans
It is recommended to change the cooling fans at 5 year intervals, especially in higher temperature environments. Always use the
same high quality type. It is recommended to clean the fans whereas earth or dust are available on the blades. This can be simply
done removing the front panel (fixed with eight screws), without removing the fans.
11.1.c Periodic
overhaul
After a few years of continuous service, it is advisable to have the equipment overhauled in our factory or in a appointed laboratory,
where its operation can be checked against the initial parameters. In addition, any necessary maintenance operations can be carried
out.
It is also particularly important to overhauled the equipment when it has been working at high temperatures, over 30÷35°C.
Never change the original settings when the necessary, complex testing equipment and standard calibration are not available.
