System Setup and Operation Manual for ATSC MS3 L0
•
Remove the screw from the drain hole at the bottom edge of the component case. If water flows
out of the drain hole after removal of the plug, let it flow until it stops. Then slightly and slowly tilt
the case toward the drain hole to remove any remaining water. Continue to increase the angle of
the component slowly until no more water drains from the hole. After the water has been drained,
move the component to a safe dry location and remove the Faceplate. Place the component in
the most dry environment possible for a time long enough that any remaining moisture inside will
dry. When it is dry, reintegrate the component to the System and test it to determine if it is still
functional.
Inter-Connect Strips and Water Intrusion
The Inter-Connect Strip 7 is a DC bus for the entire System and should be placed in a protected and
dry location to minimize the possibility of water intrusion. If water enters the Strip, power down the
System and tilt the strip so that the drain hole (below; arrow) is a the lowest point.
WARNING
Standing water around the electrical equipment or intrusion of water into the System
components can increase the risk of electrical shock.
Water Intrusion—Prevention and Remediation
•
Lids on the Power Hub 2500 and the PRO-Verter should be closed whenever possible while the
System is operating to prevent water and dust from entering the System.
•
If water intrusion is suspected, and the System is still functional, disconnect power sources
entering that component from the most distant location possible, power down the System (turn off
the power switches on all of the System components) and then disconnect the component from
the System. Do not to try to remove what may be a flooded component while it is still powered up.
