Hardware Description & Installation Manual

Jupiter router control system, Miranda Presmaster PCS)

Maintenance
Cleaning the Air Filter
Occasionally, the air filter has to be cleaned in order to maintain proper ventilation. The air
filter is located in the front cover of the Kaleido-X16 frame. The filter may be cleaned
without removing it from the cover.
To clean the air filter
1 Carefully remove the cover from the frame.
2 Place the cover flat on a work surface with the inside facing up.
3 Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle to prevent scratching, vacuum the dust
from the inner side of the cover.
4 Turn the cover over and vacuum the outer side of it.
5 Reinstall the cover onto the frame.
Note: The two RS-422 ports on the Kaleido-X16 side have no ground pin.
Using the appropriate DE-9S-to-RJ-45 adapter, an external device should be
able to communicate with a Kaleido-X16 despite the lack of a ground.

Risk of damage to CompactFlash card

down).
