18.1 Servicing

General

Given the low failure rate experienced on this device, it is extremely rare to have to change parts on the EC-50 controller.

Note: In the unlikely event your EC series controller requires service, please refer to the Return Material Authorization section in this manual prior to sending the unit back to the Barco Service Department.

The only parts that the user may have to change by itself is the work light and power fuse. The work light is a spare part provided by Barco (see spare parts list bellow). The fuse is not provided by Barco.
