ProPanel-HD (FW4), Revised August 2020
Page 13 of 24
General Maintenance
ProPanel-HD will operate in a dry environment with non-conductive debris such
as sawdust, plastic, metal dust, and small amounts of water splash with no
adverse effects. The system should be cleaned of excess debris when
necessary to prevent premature damage to the electronic scale and
encoder/sensor. The digital readout should be cleaned periodically with
compressed air to remove any dust on the lens and keys.
All mounting fasteners should be checked occasionally for tightness.
Occasionally check parallelism of the jaws by measuring a piece of paper
between the upper tips of the jaws, then between the lower tips of the jaws. A
variation larger than 0.05mm (0.002 inches) requires adjustment.
If the carriage becomes difficult to move (and the lock/thumbscrew is not
tightened), clean the scale. Locate and remove any burrs which may have
developed on the aluminum beam.
Do not use any liquid lubricants on the ProPanel-HD system.
Battery Replacement
When the battery in the digital readout needs to be replaced, the battery icon
will only show one bar, or y
ou will see a “
B FAIL
” message on the screen.
Remove the screws in the upper right and lower left corners of the readout.
Pull the cover off. Remove the old battery. Install a new CR123 (or equivalent)
battery noting the proper orientation. Replace the cover and screws.
Tip: Be careful to avoid touching parts of the circuit board not related to
the battery.
