4.2 On console’s temperature
The rear panel of the VU-meters turret is made in
aluminum and dissipates the heat produced by the
power supply and audio amplifiers.
In models XS and XL the value of overheating with
respect to the atmosphere is of around 68º F. That is
to say, with a normal atmosphere of 77º F the back
panel normally will work at 113º F.
In models XL with 16 channels working with 110 V
AC (the extreme condition) the temperature can
reach 131º F (with 77º atmosphere) in the back
panel. This it is a safe value and the console is de-
signed to work at these temperatures, so you don’t
worry about it.
4.3 Cleaning
Maintain the room clean and free of dust. The sur-
face of the console can be cleaning using a very
smooth detergent (like are used for painted walls)
and a sponge or fine cloth hardly humid. NEVER
USE alcohol, benzene or petroleum derivatives.
Take this rule: NO SMOKING at the control room.
The cigarette ashes are LETHAL for the faders and
affect, in addition, to other equipment of the radio
(CD players, minidisks, etc.). By the same reason,
don't drink or eat while you are working on the
equipment.
If after using the console for a long time, you note
that the faders become difficult to handle (hard to
move) or fails, probably they are dirty. In order to
clean it consults with the technical department of
your radio. They will have to use special products. If
after cleaning the faders the faults remain, consults
with your Solidyne dealer to acquire the correspond-
ing spare parts.
Polycarbonate plastic protection: Solidyne con-
soles use all the front panel modules covered by a
hard polycarbonate sheet painted and labeled from
the reverse side. This unique protection technology
allows for a full protection from hands abrasion. The
2600 console will remains unaltered after a full life of
operation.
4.4 Preventive maintenance
The preventive maintenance is carried out during
the normal operation of the console to avoid flaws.
The 2600 console is manufactured using hi-tech in-
tegrated circuits and heavy-duty electronic compo-
nents, that guarantee an excellent reliability and al-
lows eliminating the routines of preventive mainte-
nance.
The linear faders manage only DC current. Under
normal conditions, the useful life of these faders ex-
ceeds 200.000 full cycle operations. Use carefully:
don’t’ kick the faders and don’t’ push them with ex-
cessive force.
Special models are provided with the new ESF elec-
trostatic fader technology, without moving contacts,
that lasts 25 years.
4.5 Parts Replacement
All modules are assembled using connectors. The
inputs modules can be disconnected and recon-
nected while the console stays on the air (Hot Swap
technology). The main faders have connectors too.
They are mounted to the chassis with two screws,
so its replacement is very easy.
4.6 Service Manual
You can obtain a service manual of this equipment,
free costs. For it the Director of the radio must send
