12 Maintaining the Eclipse HX-Median
The Eclipse HX-Median matrix system connects a complex network of
microprocessor controlled devices.
Due to the complexity of the system, field service should be limited to isolating
a problem to the specific circuit board that may be causing the problem. Once
the circuit board has been identified, it can be either repaired or replaced.
Note: For an overview of the Eclipse HX-Median, see 3 Overview.
Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel
only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform
any servicing other than that described by this guide, unless
qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
12.1 Routine maintenance recommendations
12.1.1 Cleaning the matrix frame
Because the matrix has moving air in it, the entire matrix should be cleaned at
least once a year. To clean the matrix, shut off AC power, remove all cards,
and use compressed air to remove any dust buildup in the matrix itself. Clean
all cards with a brush to remove dust buildup.
Care should be taken not to induce a static discharge in the
cards. Use of a grounding wrist strap is recommended. If a
grounding wrist strap is not available, touch an unpainted
metal surface on the matrix chassis periodically to neutralize
static electricity.
12.1.2 Spare parts
To facilitate quick repair of the system with minimum downtime, Clear-Com
recommends keeping the following spare system components in good working
condition at all times:
One CPU card.
