SkyPanel X Operating Manual 43
Climate Membrane
A climate membrane on the back of the SkyPanel X equalizes pressure by allowing air to pass
through it when the device heats up and cools down. At the same time it acts as a barrier to water in
liquid form. The expulsion of warm air (with a slightly higher water vapor content) and intake of cool
air (with a slightly lower water vapor content) prevents humidity buildup over time. To do this, the
membrane must work correctly and the device must be sealed correctly.
Climate membranes have a limited service life. They become blocked over time as the micropores in
the membrane fill with particles. When a membrane becomes blocked, excess pressure can damage
seals or cause air and even water to be sucked into the device along cables or protective caps. A
blocked membrane cannot be cleaned and must be replaced if it shows any signs of contamination
or is not in perfect condition.
For maximum device service life, the climate membrane must be replaced after an extended period
of use. Intervals for membrane replacement depend on the installation environment. Please consult
your ARRI dealer about a suitable replacement schedule. To ensure optimum humidity control,
membrane replacement must be carried out by a certified ARRI service center.
8.3 To Maintain the Spigot
WARNING
Falling System Parts by Loose Screw
Risk of injury and damage. Screw torque may decrease due to vibration or settling.
u Always tighten the screw to the specified torque.
u Use a torque wrench to regularly check whether the screw is still tightened to the specified
torque,
The 28 mm spigot is mounted on the yoke on delivery.
To check the torque of the spigot screw you need:
• a torque wrench with 10 mm allen socket (manual version)
• a torque wrench with an 8 mm allen socket (PO version)
Check if the torque is 50 Nm / 37 ft-lbs (manual version) or 30 Nm / 22 ft-lbs (PO version).
8.4 Tilt Brake
CAUTION
Unintentional or Unexpected Movement
Risk of crushing body parts due to failing tilt brake.
u The tilt brake is a wearing part. Check the correct function of the tilt brake regularly.
u Never use a device with a defective tilt brake.
If the tilt brake is defective:
• Replace the yoke with a yoke that has a working tilt brake.
• Have the tilt brake repaired by a certified ARRI service center.
