ECHNOLOGY

Do not expose your control system or its components to damp for prolonged periods. If the control system becomes

contaminated with food or drink clean it off as soon as possible.

2.3 Cleaning

Clean the control system and the joystick with a cloth dampened with diluted detergent. Be careful when cleaning the joystick
and screen.

Never use abrasive or spirit-based cleaners.

3 Mating

Connectors

To connect the Communication Cables:

•

Holding the connector housing, firmly push the connector into its mate until you can no longer see the yellow

plastic.

The connectors are secured using a friction system.

To disconnect the Communication Cables:

•

Holding the connector housing firmly, pull the connectors apart.

Do not hold or pull on the cable. Always grip the connector when connecting and disconnecting.

When the control system is first switched on after a connection, or system component change the
Timer will be displayed whilst the system checks itself and then the Re-start icon will be
displayed. Switch the control system off and on again to operate.
