Maintaining the TX Matrix Air Filters
Purpose
Air filters keep dust and other particles from entering the cooling system. For optimum cooling, verify the condition of the air filters, and replace as required.
Action
On a regular basis:
- Check the air filters regularly for dust and debris.
- Replace the air filters every 6 months. The filter elements degrade over time, so the filter elements in use, as well as spares, should be replaced every 6 months.
- Use spare filter elements within 1 year of manufacture. Check the date of manufacture printed on the filter.
- Store spare filter elements in a dark, cool, and dry place. Storing the filter elements at higher temperatures, or where they can be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, hydrocarbon emissions, or vapors from solvents, can significantly reduce their life.
 | Caution: Always keep both air filters in place while the TX Matrix router is operating. Because the fans are very powerful, they could pull small bits of wire or other materials into the TX Matrix router through the unfiltered air intake. This could damage the TX Matrix router components. |
