Guarantee and compensation

Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults. Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints. The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning, at the latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract (redhibition). All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component of the system or independent services, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence on the part of Barco. If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on good delivered by Barco, or if the goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned or operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e. g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either. The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this manual must be complied with by the customer.

Before operating the units please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference! Observe all warnings and instructions printed on the devices! Servicing not explicitly mentioned in this manual must never be carried out by unauthorized personnel! Never open the case of the unit without first disconnecting both power supply cords! The appliance couplers on this unit must be used for disconnecting the unit from the mains circuit. For removal of all power from the unit, always disconnect both supply cords. To prevent fire or electrical shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture! This product should be operated from an AC power source! Check that the voltage and frequency of your power supply match those printed on the device label with the rated electrical values! If you are not sure of the type of AC power available, consult your dealer or local power company! This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

2.1.5 Opening the top cover of the Hydra

Before opening the case, switch off the Hydra! Disconnect all power plugs!

The boards of the Hydra contain CMOS components. Do not touch the components, they could be destroyed!

If the HYDRA is mounted in a rack, it has to be removed out of the rack to have access to the top cover of the device. Dependent on the length of the data- and network cables connected to the HYDRA, they must be unplugged to remove the HYDRA out of the rack. Loosen the housing screws [1], [2] and [3] shown in Figure 2-3 side view of the Hydra on both sides of the case. For these screws you need a size 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Figure 2-5 Screws of the case of the HYDRA

Loosen the housing screw [4] shown in Figure 2-4 top view of the Hydra. Now you can easily remove the top cover. If you have removed the top cover of the Hydra in order to exchange a fan, be sure to replace the cover before powering up again!

3.1 Exchange of consumables

3.1.1 Power modules of Hydra
The HYDRA can be connected to two independent power nets. If one of the four power modules or a power net is failing you can hear a buzzer alarm that can be reset by pushing the red buzzer reset button [32] at the back of HYDRA. The failing power module can be replaced with a spare module without power down the HYDRA. Besides the alarm buzzer there is a visual indication of a power failure via the green LED [30] at the back. This LED is blinking in case of a power error. Then the defective power module can be located by examining the individual LEDs [42] of the power modules. If the green LED on a power module is off, the module is defective and must be replaced. The power modules on the back of HYDRA look like this:

Replacing a power module Locate the defective power module by examining the green LEDs [42] on the individual power modules. If an LED is not lightened the respective power module is defective. Turn off the individual power switch [43] of the defective power module! Use gloves to remove the power module. The cover of the power module is been used as heat sink for cooling, usually the temperature is around 50 60 Celsius under full condition! Loosen the securing screws [39] of the power module! Use the handle [40] to remove the defective power module by pulling it out! Put the power module aside for cooling down. Keep it away from other people unless it has cooled down! Take a good power module and check that its power switch [34] is switched off. Turn on the power module with the power switch [43] on the power module! Check if the green LED [42] turns on! Check the green LED power failure [30], which indicates the total power system status. The LED may not blink! Tighten the securing screws [39]!

3.1.2 Replacing the filter pad of Hydra

The filter pad of the HYDRA case has to be changed in intervals, depending on the grade of pollution of the air. The air filter is located behind the ventilation slits on the front of HYDRA. Unlock the front cover of HYDRA with the key! Open the filter flap upwardly! On the inner side of the filter flap there is a securing screw, which holds a steel plate and the filter. Loosen this screw! Now you can remove the steel plate and the filter pad from the filter flap. Remove the old filter pad from the steel plate and put a fresh one on it! Place the steel plate on its location on the filter flap and tighten the securing screw! Close the filter flap! Lock the front cover!

3.1.3 Exchange of a DC fan

The DC fans are located behind the air supply [5]. Locate the defective DC fan, therefore: Unlock the front cover of the HYDRA with the key! Open the filter flap upwardly!

Figure 3-2 Front of HYDRA with view on the DC fans

Now you can see the four DC fans. Check if they are spinning well. The defective fan does not spin at all or it spins too slowly. Open the top cover of the HYDRA as explained in section 2.1.5 Opening the top cover of the Hydra. Looking from top to the HYDRA you see the four DC fans close to the front cover. Loosen the securing screw [5] of the defective DC fan.

If a defective fan is detected, it can be exchanged:

Unplug the fan upward out of the HYDRA. Plug a new DC fan in the empty slot. Tighten the securing screw [5]. Replace the top cover and tighten the screws of the top cover. Close the filter flap. Lock the front cover. Remove the HYDRA to its location and reconnect the cabling.
