Appendices
Service & Warranty Information
Introduction
Service will be primarily by on-site board exchange.
The AWS 900+ contains a mix of analogue and digital boards. All use SMT (Surface Mount Technology)
extensively and it is not possible to carry out field repair to component level, although electro-mechanical parts
such as pots and switches can be replaced by a suitably trained technician. Replacing the entire console is
unlikely to be an option due to the size of the console and the availability of a replacement.
Many of the assemblies in the AWS 900+ are designed to be replaced by a technically aware person.
The quickest way to resolve a problem is for your local distributor to supply you with a replacement part for you
to fit. Troubleshooting – see page A-6 – lists those assemblies that may be changed by untrained staff, and
gives instructions on how to change these items.
Warranty
All systems include 13 months on-site warranty from date of shipment or 12 months from date of delivery to the
end user, whichever is the longer. The warranty covers all parts and labour, but does not include travel and
accommodation expenses if an engineer has to travel more than 75 miles (120 kilometres) to your facility.
Consumable items such as lamps, accidental damage and damage caused by operation of the equipment
outside of Solid State Logic's recommended operating conditions (see Sections 1 and 3 of this manual) are not
covered by this warranty. Further details may be found in Solid State Logic's Conditions of Trading (printed on
the reverse of all Solid State Logic invoices).
Note that service visits to remedy problems found to be caused by a fault in third party equipment will be
charged for at Solid State Logic's current service rate.
Out of Warranty Repairs
Replacement assemblies will be charged at Solid State Logic's current service exchange price for the faulty
part plus shipping costs. Service visits will be charged at Solid State Logic's current service rate.
What to do if you have a problem
Follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section (page A-6), to confirm that the fault lies within the
AWS 900+ system. If this suggests there is a fault with the AWS 900+, then contact your local distributor who
will either supply a replacement assembly or arrange for a visit from an engineer to resolve the problem.
