REQUIREMENTS
5.2.1 MODELS 115, 120, 315, AND 320-ASX
The Models 115-ASX, 120-ASX, 315-ASX, and 320-ASX require calibration once every six months
as regular maintenance. Refer to Section 6 for details.
5.2.2 MODELS 140, 160, 345, 360, AND 3120-ASX
The Models 140, 160, 345, 360, and 3120-ASX require calibration once every six months and
maintenance once every three months. Maintenance of these models consists of verifying that the
fan filter is clean. It is important that this filter is kept clean in order to insure proper cooling of
internal components.
The fan filter is cleaned as follows:
1.
Slide the chassis forward to reveal the fan filter access panel, located on the
bottom of the chassis.
2.
Loosen the 2 screws that partially protrude from the side panels, directly above
the filter, to allow the filter to slide out of its holder. (For model 3120-ASX, remove
the fan filter access panel.)
3.
The filter will slide out of its holder. Remove the filter.
4.
Wash and dry the fan filter. The filter is a metal screen mesh type. It is reusable
and is best cleaned by washing with warm soapy water. Make sure that the filter
is dry before installing it into the chassis.
5.
Install the filter and re-tighten the screws loosened in step 2. ( for Model
3120-ASX, install the filter and then replace the fan filter access plate )
6.
Slide the chassis back into its normal position.
If system operation is suspect or the calibration interval has passed, perform the calibration
procedure outlined in Section 6.
