General Maintenance

With proper care and maintenance, your BUC will provide many years of reliable service.

Please follow these maintenance guidelines so that your equipment will provide you with the

maximum amount of trouble-free service.

Basic Cleanliness

The exterior chassis of the BUC acts as a large heatsink that must dissipate at least a few

hundred Watts. Excessive dirt, dust, debris, and sand accumulated on the chassis surface will

impede its ability to dissipate heat, and will result in higher internal temperatures, potentially

shortening the BUC lifespan.

Periodically inspect the chassis for excessive dirt, and remove as necessary. A brush

combined with compressed air is the safest way to clean the unit. Also, inspect the fan

assembly for any dirt or debris that also might impede airflow.

Internal Fuse

The internal power supply is protected by a fuse to prevent excessive input current

consumption. Contact the factory if you suspect the internal fuse has tripped, and instructions

will be sent on how it can be replaced.

Fan Replacement

Normally the fan on the unit operates continuously when input power is connected to the unit.

If the fan stops turning, and the BUC still provides an output signal when it is cool, it is time to

replace the fan. Immediately remove power to the unit the prevent damage by overheating.

Contact the factory to order the correct replacement fan for your particular model.

The fan is encased in a shroud to direct airflow to the chassis heatsink fins. First remove the

shroud from the main chassis using the screws at each side of the chassis. The fan and

shroud assembly will be connected by wires to the main chassis. Disconnect the wire

connection by pulling apart the inline (wire to wire) connector.

Next, remove the screws holding the fan to the shroud and fan grille. Remove the fan, and

install the replacement fan in reverse order as described above.
