Follow the guidelines below regarding the care and upkeep of your new Aviom products.
AC Line Conditioning
Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage.
Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc., can sometimes damage electronic equipment.
Although the F6 Modular I/O Frame is a DC powered device, proper care should be taken to protect any AC power
supply devices used with the system.
To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes in the AC line voltage, you may want
to plug your equipment into a power source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available
with built-in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment.
Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup
system (sometimes referred to as an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).
Cleaning
Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the device and unplug the unit from the power source.
To clean the surface of the Pro64 product, use a clean, soft lint-free cloth that has been slightly moistened with
water only. For tougher dirt, use a cloth slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. Always be sure to
dry the surface of the unit before proceeding with use.
When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small
amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. Then use the dampened cloth to clean the product.
Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of your Aviom products.
Ventilation
The F6 Modular I/O Frame is fan cooled using three low velocity, ultra-quiet fans. Always allow adequate ventilation
for devices mounted in electrical boxes, equipment racks, floor pockets, etc. Do not block the built-in cooling
vents on the F6 case. Avoid placing your Pro64 product directly above or below other devices that produce high
levels of heat, such as power amplifiers.
The F6 employs thermal circuitry designed to monitor the product’s internal temperature as well as the status
of its built-in fans. The t

solid if the internal temperature has exceeded normal operating levels.
