Maintenance
The DMT SB-804 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect
the mains power supply and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Wipe the front panel clean with
glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Do not immerse in liquid.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the Video and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit
operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
Not working
If the Sender Box does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect two potential problem areas as: the power supply, the cables.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) All cables. Please check all connections and all cables. Return the Sender Box to your DMT dealer.
03) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
04) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Sender Box, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
