What are the care recommendations for maintaining the full operation of the WESTERMO SDW-541-SM-LC15 and fulfilling warranty obligations?

Follow the care recommendations below to maintain full operation of the unit and to fulfil the warranty obligations:

  • This unit must not be operating with removed covers or lids.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
  • Do not drop, knock or shake the unit, rough handling above the specification may cause damage to internal circuit boards.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the unit.
  • Do not paint the unit. Paint can clog the unit and prevent proper operation.
  • Do not expose the unit to any kind of liquids (rain, beverages, etc). The unit is not waterproof. Keep the unit within the specified humidity levels.
  • Do not use or store the unit in dusty, dirty areas, connectors as well as other mechanical part may be damaged.

If the unit is not working properly, contact the place of purchase, nearest Westermo distributor office or Westermo Tech support.

Fibre connectors are supplied with plugs to avoid contamination inside the optical port. As long as no optical fibre is mounted on the connector, e.g. for storage, service or transportation, should the plug be applied.


What are the considerations for handling fibre optics when using the WESTERMO SDW-541-SM-LC15?

Fibre optic equipment needs special treatment. It is very sensitive to dust and dirt. If the fibre will be disconnected from the modem the protective hood on the transmitter/receiver must be connected. The protective hood must be kept on during transportation. The fibre optic cable must also be handle the same way.

If this recommendation is not followed it can jeopardise the warranty.


How should optical connectors be cleaned for the WESTERMO SDW-541-SM-LC15?

In the event of contamination, the optical connectors should be cleaned by the use of forced nitrogen and some kind of cleaning stick.
