Maintenance and troubleshooting
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the ADM-5821AX industrial waterproof display can help prevent
damage or downtime.
Warning!
Do not operate or service the unit with its chassis open. There are
hazardous voltages inside. Service should only be performed by qualified and
authorized personnel. Make sure your industrial display is powered down and
unplugged before removing the cover or working on internal components.
Replacing the Backlights
LCD backlights are rated at the number of hours of operation until they are at half of their
original brightness. The ADM-5821AX industrial waterproof display backlights are
rated at 50,000 hours — that equates to six years of continuous service.
Signs that the backlights may need replacing include:
1)
The top and/or the bottom of the screen is dim.
2)
The image on the screen flickers.
3)
The video appears to be blank in normal light, but can be very faintly seen in
strong external light.
Note:
The backlights are not user serviceable. If the backlights need to be replaced, you
must return the unit to Arista for service.
