MAINTENANCE
The Obsidian Control Systems Netron BS10 is designed as a rugged device. The only required service is occasional cleaning. For other service-related concerns, please contact your Obsidian Control Systems dealer, or visit www.obsidiancontrol.com.
Any service that is not described in this guide must be carried out by a trained and qualified Obsidian Control Systems technician.
As any controller, the BS10 requires periodic cleaning. The schedule relies on the environment in which the controller is operated. An Obsidian Control Systems technician can provide recommendations if necessary.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the device surface; always spray into a lint-free cloth and wipe it clean. Consider using cleaning products designed for cellphone and tablet devices.
Important! Excessive dust, dirt, smoke, fluid build-up, and other materials can degrade the performance of the BS10 device, causing overheating and damage to the unit that is not covered by the warranty.
