MAINTENANCE

The INV-1200 series requires very little in the way of routine maintenance. If the unit is operated
in a dirty or dusty environment it should be removed from service periodically and cleaned. The
use of forced air is perfect for cleaning dust and debris from fan intakes and heat sink
assemblies. Light brushing and vacuuming is also effective.
If the unit is to be supplied from batteries, the condition of the batteries will have a significant
effect on the operation of the unit. Poorly maintained batteries can cause the unit malfunction
when heavily loaded. If this device is to be used as part of a back-up power system a battery
maintenance schedule should be discussed with the battery manufacturer. Behlman does not
provide batteries for these units.
