  • Page 50: Maintenance

    6. Maintenance 6.1 Maintenance TC-5910DP Pneumatic Shield Box is designed and built for long life and easy maintenance. Optimal RF shielding is obtained by using gaskets between the body and the lid. It must be checked periodically for wear and tear which would compromise the performance. Pressure on the gasket by the lid results in a proper RF seal.

  • Page 51: Performance Test

    6.2 Performance Test TESCOM Shield Boxes are precision RF devices built very sturdily. Their electrical performance can, however, deteriorate with mechanical damages. Worn out shielding gaskets, as well as metal corrosion or oxidation on the surface of lid-contacting area, can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the Shield Box.
