MAINTENANCE

 

 

Table 1 below details the maintenance schedule necessary to ensure  optimal continued operation  of the 

BlueGEN appliance. The appliance will detect and schedule its maintenance requirements automatically. The 

information provided below indicates the average maintenance requirements for a typical installation. 

The control system of the BlueGEN appliance ensures that automated alerts are sent to SP support personnel 

to notify of an impending maintenance task, or if a component requires maintenance outside the normal 

maintenance schedule.  

There are no user-serviceable parts and so end-users should have no need to open the BlueGEN appliance 

cabinet doors for inspections or replacements. 

 

Table 1: Recommended maintenance schedule for BlueGEN appliance
