MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
Maintenance:
Ensure that front panel fan inlets are free from dust else fan operation may be impinged and damage to laser
and/or detector modules, or internal components, may occur due to excessive heat build up.
Care should be taken to ensure that all connectors are kept clean and free from contamination of any kind. This is
especially important in fibre optic equipment where cleanliness of optical connections is critical to performance.
When the optical connector is not in use, the supplied dust cap should be kept in place.
Storage:
If the equipment is not to be used for an extended period, it is recommended the whole unit be placed in a sealed
plastic bag to prevent dust contamination. In areas of high humidity a suitably sized bag of silica gel should be
included to deter corrosion.
Where individual circuit cards are stored, they should be placed in antistatic bags. Proper antistatic procedures
should be followed when inserting or removing cards from these bags.
