This Section describes scheduled maintenance procedure for the SSPB.
CAUTION:
Improper maintenance of the SSPB may void the warranty.
8.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
This product requires minimum maintenance, which consists of visual inspection and cleaning.
WARNING:
Personnel performing maintenance on this unit must have the proper
training and become thoroughly familiar with the related safety requirements and issues.
Read and practice the safety guidelines as described in Section 1 at page 6.
8.2 MECHANICAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Mechanical preventive maintenance consists of verifying the condition of all mechanical parts,
with the AC power switched off. Perform the following inspection:
1. Check all connectors and plugs for evidence of damage and proper seating. Replace defective
connector plugs and reset any that are dislodged.
2. Inspect the electrical wiring for signs of discoloured, broken or poor insulation. Repair or
replace if necessary.
3. Inspect all waveguides for discoloration, cracks, loose connectors and improper sealing.
Tighten or replace waveguides as required.
4. Check for other defects such as, wear, breakage, deterioration, fungus, excess moisture and
mounting integrity.
8.3 COOLING FAN CHECK
The SSPB is forced-air cooled, using three fans. Depending on the environmental conditions, the
airflow openings may become obstructed by debris, reducing the efficiency of the cooling system.
Verify that the fans are operating smoothly. Excess noise indicates a worn fan that must be
replaced. Check for debris and dust in all openings.
WARNING:
Do not come in contact with any electrical assembly while power is applied.
