Periodic Maintenance
Maintenance Safety Notice
Power down the radios and disconnect (unplug) the PSDS power from any AC power
source prior to the performance of any maintenance actions.
Air Filter Maintenance
On the bottom of the system you will find two fan covers that have filters. Depending on
the environment, these filters will need periodic cleaning. Included with the PSDS are
several replacement filters. When replacing the filters, wash the filters removed from the
PSDS in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Filters should last
indefinitely. The PTS recommended filter cleaning interval is 14 days of continual
operation.
Filter Removal Process
•Turn the system onto its rear/back
•Snap the 2 covers holding the filter assemblies off from the bottom of the chassis
•Remove each filter assembly
•Snap out the filter retainer from the assembly to access the filter for cleaning or
replacement
•After cleaning the dirty filter or replacing worn filters, insert the clean or new filter
in the assembly and snap the retainer back into the filter frame
•Replace the assembly in the PSDS and snap the cover back in place
Exterior Cleaning
The exterior of the PSDS may require cleaning. Disconnect the PSDS from all power
sources. The exterior may be cleaned with a mild, warm water soapy solution. Wipe
with a damp towel and dry with a clean towel. Do not use abrasives or oil-based
cleaners. Particular care should be taken to keep soap, water and debris from getting
into the connectors and power plugs. At no time should the PSDS be immersed in water
or other solutions.
The PSDS connectors and cables should be kept clean and free of dirt, grime and
miscellaneous debris. If required, clean the connectors with a medium stiff bristle brush
and wipe off dirt. Avoid allowing moisture to contact the pins and receptacles in the
connectors. If moisture does get into the connectors, allow the system to dry thoroughly
prior to use.
