B.3 Preventiveairlterreplacement
TheGEN7iBisequippedwithanairltertokeepunwantedparticlesfromcollecting
insidetheGEN7iB.Theairlterneedstobecleanedandreplacedregularly,since
particlescollectintheairlterandcanreducetheairowthroughtheairlter,thus
negativelyinuencingthecoolingcapacityoftheGEN7iB.
Do NOT wash the îž’lter, any residual moisture will be blown inside the instrument and can
harm the sensitive electronics.
Impor
In high availability products such as GEN DAQ series systems, equipment maintenance is
critical. Filters loaded with dust not only reduce airflow, they can also cause electronics to
run inefîž’ciently and promote equipment failure.
Thereareanumberofindustrybestpracticesfortimelyltermaintenanceasunique
equipmentandvaryingoperatingconditionsprecludeasimple,one-size-ts-allanswer
for equipment maintenance. For clean, controlled, indoor environments such as data
centersoroces,ltersareoftenreplacedaccordingtoamaintenancecalendarwith
allltersreplacedthreetofourtimesperyear.
Specialized equipment and equipment operating in uncontrolled environments often
usesensorstodenewhenmaintenanceshouldbeperformed.Temperature,pres-
sure,andairowsensorsareusedtodeterminewhenequipmentisoutsideofoptimal
operating parameters and a service alert is triggered. GEN DAQ series system are
equipped with temperature sensors and variable FAN speeds. If either the FAN speeds
ortemperaturesareabnormallyhighimmediatelyreplacetheairlter.
Impor
To prevent unexpected failures it is recommended to replace the air îž’lters at least once
every year.
