WARNING:

This server must be serviced by qualified personnel. The information listed in this chapter is intended to assist qualified personnel only.

Maintaining the Filtering System

The Axon media server must be kept protected from excessive amounts of glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. You must follow these guidelines to ensure continued operation of the fixture:

•Air filters should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. When used in a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at least a weekly check.

•Do not situate Axon in areas of high fog density such as directly in front of a fog machine or mineral oil hazer.

•Minimize the exposure of Axon to both glycol fog and mineral oil.

Cleaning and Replacing Filters

Axon has two filters located in the front of the chassis behind the blue cover plates. Check this filter often for dust or debris that can be caused when using the Axon in environments with confetti or pyrotechnics. This filter is washable with soap and water, but must be completely dry before re-installing.

WARNINGS!

Disconnect power before servicing.
