SonixMDP/SP/OP Service Manual 00.053.101, Revision C Chapter 11: Maintenance
11-5
11.2.10 System Filter
This filter should be cleaned approximately every three (3) to six (6) months. Periodically, the system will present a
cleaning reminder message. Always clean the filter when this reminder is presented.
The SonixMDP/SP/OP comes equipped with a double layer filtering system. The first layer, or system filter, is
accessible without removing anything from the system – the filter can simply be pulled out. The second layer (fan
filtering) is attached to the modulo and necessitates modulo removal.
Cleaning the system filter every three (3) to six (6) months helps to safely prolong the modulo fan filter cleaning
interval (refer to
Table 11-1 for the various maintenance procedure frequencies).
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the system exhaust filters or vents. If a vacuum cleaner is not
available, dust off by hand or with an anti-static brush.
