6.1.1 Cleaning the enclosure
Cleaning the enclosure
● Clean the outside of the enclosure with the inscriptions and the display window using a cloth moistened with water or a
mild detergent.
● Do not use any aggressive cleansing agents or solvents, e.g. acetone. Plastic parts or the painted surface could be
damaged. The inscriptions could become unreadable.
6.2 Cleaning of the screens
The positioner is maintenance-free to a large extent. Screens are installed in the pneumatic connections of the positioners to
protect them from rough dirt particles. If there are dirt particles in the pneumatic auxiliary power supply, they damage the
screens and hamper the function of the positioner. Clean the screens as described in the following two chapters.
6.2.1 Positioners with Makrolon enclosure 6DR5..0, aluminum enclosure 6DR5..3, and
