4 Maintenance
4.1 Preventive Maintenance
The window and exterior surfaces may be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol followed by distilled water
rinse, applied with a soft cloth to avoid scratching the anti-reflective coating of the viewing window.
The only periodic maintenance recommended is fan filter cleaning or replacement when necessary.
The fan filter is Orion Fans part number M60-30
4.2 Corrective Maintenance
The only field corrective maintenance recommended is fuse replacement. Any other corrective
maintenance should be deferred to the depot or factory. The power input module contains two fuses
and accepts either ¼-in x 1 ¼-in or 5 x 20 mm fuses.
CAUTION: Double Pole/Neutral Fusing
The recommended fuse for the AC Input version is:
Description: Fuse, Glass, 3AG Slo-Blo, 2A/250V
Manufacturer’s P/N: LITTLEFUSE (FSCM 75915) # 313002
The recommended fuse for the DC Input versions is:
Description: Fuse, Glass, 3AG Slo-Blo, 10A/32V
Manufacturer’s P/N: LITTLEFUSE (FSCM 75915) # 0313010
4.3 Troubleshooting (No Picture)
If no front panel indicators are lit the most likely cause is no power input:
1) Is power connected? (Make sure the power cord is fully seated.)
2) Is the POWER switch ON?
3) Is the fuse OK?
If the Yellow NO SYNC indicator is lit, most likely the monitor is not receiving a video input or that
video input is not selected as the Main Picture Channel Input. (See section 3.1.1)
4.4 VGA Cable
The recommended VGA cable is Aydin Displays part number 123-098-001.
