Maintenance
Fuse Replacement
Two fuses are located on the left edge inside of the
enclosure. The left fuse connects to the internal battery,
the right fuse connects to the charger/external power. The
fuses are 2 amp, time-delay, speed-type fuses rated for
250 VAC. Replace as needed.
Enclosure Desiccant
It is extremely important to use a properly-sized
desiccant for your deployment, and to change desiccant
before the entire volume has turned pink. Use
enough desiccant to effectively keep electronics dry until
your next scheduled maintenance. Desiccant life span is
dependent on site conditions.
The enclosure contains one tube of desiccant that absorbs
moisture as it enters the enclosure through the vent tube.
Keep the vent tube clear of obstructions. Replace as
needed. An additional desiccant pack may be located at
the top of the enclosure. Replace or dry as needed.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the enclosure with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use ammonia or other harsh chemicals.
