Filter Pad and Filter Pad Holder
The filter pad and the filter pad holder (Figure 9, pos. 3) are located behind the front access panel (Figure 7, pos. 3).
The filter pad protects the product from dust and dirt and will over time become soiled by pollution. If heavily soiled,
the filter pad can cause excessive heating of the product. Kontron recommends cleaning the filter pad as often as
necessary, see Chapter 10.1: Cleaning the Filter Pad.
The filter pad can be changed during operation.
The filter pad inserts into the filter pad holder. The filter pad holder fastens onto the fan assembly’s front side by
inserting the filter pad holder’s positioning latches into the fan assembly’s position holes (Figure 12, pos. 5) and then
fastening the filter pad holder’s knurled screw (Figure 9, pos. 3)
