Ordinary Maintenance

The only regular maintenance needed by the PJ300M, is the periodic substitution of
the blowers, and the cleaning of dust filters (if installed) and any dust accumulated
inside the amplifier.

The time between overhauling of the blowers depends upon the environmental factors
like temperature, humidity, dust pollution etc. It’s advisable to check the unit every 6
months, and to substitute noisy blowers.

Blowers should be changed as a matter of course at least every 18 months.

9.3

Substitution of modules

ATTENTION: When the amplifier is operated with the cover removed, hazardous
voltages and heavy current are accessible. Make shure that all primary power is
disconnected from the amplifier before performing any maintenance of the device.

To reinstall a module, just execute the operations described in the following in the
opposite sequence.

Remove all the screws that are located on the top cover of the machine. After the
cover has been removed, it is possible to extract and replace the modules, that you
may identify with the help of chapter 9.1.

These operations must be done only by specialized technicians, equipped with
appropriate tools. Wrong operations can cause serious damages to the machine
and and will void your warranty.
