Periodic checks and maintenance are important for proper operation of any electronic
system. This chapter contains maintenance and troubleshooting instructions to be fol-
lowed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment.
Before attempting any maintenance or troubleshooting procedure please review the
safety information below.
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock exists inside the
equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.
Turn off the radar power switch before servicing the antenna unit.
Post a warning sign near the switch indicating it should not be
turned on while the antenna unit is being serviced.
Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna.
A transmitting radar antenna emits electromagnetic waves, which
can be harmful, particularly to the eyes.
Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance
while the radar is in operation, or expose yourself to the transmitting
radar at a close distance.
Wear a safety belt and hard hat when working on the
antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar
antenna mast.
