Maintenance and Prevention
To operate correctly Kontron systems only require minimal maintenance and care.
Wipe the system with a soft dry cloth if required
Remove persistent dirt by use of a soft, slightly damp cloth (only use a mild detergent).
Clean the filter pad regularly (as often as necessary, depending on the environment).
10.1.
Cleaning the Filter Pad
The removable filter pad inserts in the filter pad holder on the front side of the fan assembly. The filter pad is soiled
by pollution within the operating environment. If heavily soiled, the filter pad can cause excessive heating of the
system. Kontron recommends cleaning the filter pad when soiled. How often the filter pad needs to be cleaned
depends on level of pollution in the operating environment. The filter pad can be changed during operation.
