Air Filter

The encoder uses an air filter to minimize dust and dirt in the circuitry and components in the
chassis. The filter is made of flexible, open cell polyurethane foam, which is specially coated
to provide flame and fungus resistance. It is enclosed in a sheet metal frame that slides from
the top of the unit and is located directly in front of the air vents in the fan cage at the front of
the encoder. The filter is fire retardant and conforms to UL 900 Class 2 and UL 94 HF-1
specifications.

Maintaining the Air Filter

The operating environment of the encoder plays a large factor in determining the life of the
air filter. Encoders that operate in dusty and dirty surroundings require more frequent
inspections and filter cleaning than those operating in cleaner environments.
Inspect and clean the filter with a frequency that is appropriate to the environment in which
the encoder operates. Harmonic recommends inspecting and cleaning the filter every six
weeks to ensure proper airflow through the chassis.
To clean dust and dirt from the filters, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust. If a
filter is not cleanable, replacement filters may be ordered from Harmonic.
