Chapter 6 Working environment and maintenance
Suitable working environment and proper maintenance
methods can extend service life of the equipment
effectively. For maintenance please read the contents of
this section carefully.
6.1 Public areas
In public areas ensure that the cables attached to the
system units, including extension cables, are run and laid
out in a neat and tidy manner where they do not interfere
and hinder public walk ways.
It is recommended that the chairman unit is connected at
the beginning of a trunk line and not at the end. In public
areas where connectors and cables could be trampled
on, it is strongly suggested to use protective covers
according to the existing protection specifications.
6.2 Technical rooms
It is recommended to meet the following conditions for
technical rooms where HCS-4100MC/50 central control
equipment is housed:
Ensure that the area is a dust-free environment.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Ensure adequate lighting. But be sure that the
lighting does not impede the operator in the
control room and the normal system operation.
Do not place objects on the top of units. They
could fall into vents or could cover them and thus
prevent proper cooling of electronic components
inside the units. By falling into a unit, objects could
cause trouble such as fire and electric shock.
To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to
the system units, do not expose units to rain or
moisture.
Do not attempt to remove the top cover of the
system main units as you will be exposed to a
shock hazard. The covers should only be removed
by qualified service personnel. If any repair or
maintenance is required, contact the TAIDEN
service center in your region.
Equipment is only for indoor use. Do not expose it
to sunlight.
WARNING:
Damage to the power cable may cause fire
or a shock hazard!
6.3 System operator room
In a PC based system, the operator needs a dedicated
room to operate the PC and to manage the conference
procedure. Generally, the demands on the operator room
are the same as on the interpreter booth. By means of a
microphone system, the operator should also be
connected to a public - address system to remind the
participants of operations, such as voting, signing-in, etc.
6.4 Ventilation
Maintain good ventilation: ventilation holes are provided
on top of the main units. Place the units on a hard and
level surface to ensure proper ventilation.
6.5 Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, ammonia or petroleum based liquids
or abrasive cleaners to clean the equipment. Unplug first
and clean with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild
soap and water solution. Assure yourself that the
relevant unit is dry before operating it.
6.6 Storage
If the units are not to be used for a long period of time,
disconnect the mains supply from all mains supplied
units. Store them in a dust-free dry area with adequate
ventilation.
