Appendix Q: Service Information
This appendix contains routine service information for the PRO Series ControlCentre.
Routine mai ntenance
To help keep your PRO X Control Centre unit in good working order and to make sure it gives you optimum performance, we recommend that you carry out the
following about once every month.
• Clean the control centre, as detailed in “Cleaning the control centre” (below).
• Check controls for freedom of operation. As the controls are ‘self-cleaning’, this operation will help to prevent them from sticking.
• Check the functionality of all controls, that is, control knobs, faders, pushbuttons, LEDs etc.
• Check the functionality of equipment.
Cleaning the control centre
Switch o the control centre and electrically isolate it from the mains beforecleaning.
Clean the control centre using a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents. When cleaning the equipment, take great care not to damage faders,
pushbuttons etc.
Cleaning a GUI screen
Switch o the control centre and electrically isolate it from the mains beforecleaning.
Carefully wipe the surface of the GUI screen with a soft, lint-free cloth or screenwipe specially designed for the purpose. When cleaning the GUI screen, observe the
following precautions:
• Avoid putting pressure on the screen.
• Don’t use harsh abrasives, for example, paper towels.
• Don’t apply liquids directly to the screen.
• Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners and solvents, such as acetone.
If you are in doubt or have any queries about cleaning the GUI screens, contactMIDAS Technical Support.
Equipment disposal
When this equipment has come to the end of it useful life, its disposal may come under the DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment(WEEE).
Hazardous substances in WEEE contaminate water, soil and air and ultimately put at risk our environment and health. The directive aims to minimize the impacts of
WEEE on the environment during their lifetimes and when they become waste.
The WEEE directive addresses the disposal of products when they have reached the end of their life and contributes to the reduction of wasteful consumption of
natural resources. This will help to reduce pollution, and protect the environment and ourselves.
If this equipment carries a ‘crossed-out wheelie bin’ (shown left), please do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste but collect and dispose of
in accordance with local WEEE legislation. The horizontal bar underneath indicates that the product was placed on the EU market after
13th August 2005.
For WEEE disposal; see our website at midasconsoles.com for information.
