Maintenance

The AgilePulse system requires no special maintenance other than
keeping it clean.
If the surface of the touch screen display or enclosure needs to
be cleaned, use a standard (non-ammonia) glass cleaner or mild
detergent with warm water and a soft, lint free paper or cloth
towel. Do not apply the cleaning solution directly to the screen or
enclosure, to avoid liquid running into other parts of the cabinet.
Put a small amount of cleaner on the towel and gently rub the
screen or enclosure. Avoid hard rubbing, abrasives, or harsh
solvents like alcohol or ammonia.

Fuse Replacement

1. Make sure the power cord is disconnected from the main
supply before servicing the fuse
2. Replace fuse with (240V/5A slo-blo) 5 x 20 mm.
