9. MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
9.1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance of the equipment requires only inspection for loose or damaged parts and
cleaning of the exterior surfaces.
• Open the access door of the Detection Unit and check that all connectors are
snapped securely and that all screws and nuts are in place.
• Inspect the windows of the IR Sensor to make certain they are not blocked in
any way.
• Check to make certain that the eight (8) screws that attach the Crosspiece and
Detection Unit to the Panels are in place and tight.
• Check to make certain that the archway sits flat on the floor and does not sway
or rock.
• If the power cord or cable to remote devices are at floor level, check for frayed or
broken wires. Replace immediately.
• Clean exterior surfaces with mild soap and water only. If a solvent is necessary for
heavy cleaning, use only denatured alcohol.
• Test the detector daily, or whenever the environment changes.
9.2 REPAIR
There are no user-adjustable controls inside the unit.
Should the equipment ever fail to perform properly, contact the seller for the name of the nearest field
service representative, or contact the factory.
Because the equipment is of modular design, repairs can often be made through replacement of
these plug-in modules. An illustrated parts list follows for your convenience.
If problems are site-related, see Section 3.1 or contact the factory for assistance. Many times these
problems may be resolved through the adjustment of the equipment or through relocation of the
equipment or surrounding objects.
9.3 MODULE REPLACEMENT
The system is built as a series of modules, each of which can be easily removed and replaced.
These modules are tested and calibrated independently, and there is no need for adjustment of any
other electronic assembly when a module is replaced.
It is necessary to test the system carefully to verify operation and the suitability of the product after
any component replacement.
