Maintaining the Sounder
EXPLOSION HAZARD: To prevent ignition of hazardous
atmosphere, disconnect the sounder from the supply circuit
before opening it. Do not open the sounder in the presence of
explosive gases in the atmosphere. Failure to follow this warning
may result in serious injury or death.
During the working life of the sounder, it should require little or no maintenance.
The non-metallic housing will resist attack by most acids, alkalis, and chemicals
and is as resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis as most metal products.
However, if abnormal or unusual environment conditions occur due to plant
damage or accident, etc., visual inspection of the sounder is recommended.
Cleaning the Enclosure
The enclosure should be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth to maintain
maximum sound output. Periodic checks should be made to ensure the
effectiveness of this device has not been reduced because the sounder has
become clogged with a foreign substance or because objects have been
placed in front of the sounder.
Lubricating the Threaded Joints
A silicone based, non-hardening, chemically compatible grease can be
applied if required.
