Chapter 6 Service And Repair; Introduction; Replacing Modules In 34-3052A Antenna - KVH Industries FleetBroadband FB250 Installation Manual

Service and repair

6.1 Introduction

The SAILOR FleetBroadband systems are designed to operate without
preventive routine maintenance.
Although the system is designed and built very service friendly, we strongly
recommend that any acting service technician is trained specifically on the
product. Repair or repair attempts performed by unqualified personnel may
limit the warranty. The warranty on the system is defined and outlined by the
distributor that supplied the system.
We do not recommend repairing the terminal on board the ship. Replace the
defective unit and have it repaired at a qualified workshop on shore.
Some of the modules in the TracPhone FB500 antenna can be replaced. See
the next sections for details.
Note
There are two types of TracPhone FB500 antenna, the 34-3052A and
the 34-3052B. The procedure for replacing modules is slightly
different for the antennas 34-3052A and 34-3052B. Make sure you
read the right section for your antenna type.
For further information on warranty and service, please contact a KVH dealer
or distributor. To find a dealer/distributor near you, visit KVH's web site at
