DESCRIPTION General Correct installation of the TRP 9250 is important for maximum performance and reliability. Antennas and earth connections must be installed with the greatest care using corrosion resistant materials. Cable routing shall be made so the cables are protected from physical damage. Sharp cable bends especially on coaxial cables must be avoided and a sufficient number of clips or straps should be used to secure the cables.

SERVICE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Due to the modern design of the TRP 9250 preventive maintenance can be reduced to a minimum provided the equipment is correctly installed. To ensure maximum performance and minimum repair trouble we recommend you to follow the below stated headlines for preventive maintenance.
If an AM broadcast station is used, select AM mode and observe that the signal is received with not too strong fading and a reasonable signal to noise ratio. If these requirements are not fulfilled choose another station. TRP 9250 TECHNICAL MANUAL...
Refit the top cover. Replacement of Backup Battery TRP 9250 uses standard 1.5 V alkaline batteries to back-up the memory when the power supply is switched off. Use only the best quality for replacement to avoid leakage. Skanti recommends:...
Cleaning the Air Filter TRP 9250 uses a fan to cool the circuitry inside the Transceiver Unit. To keep the cooling air clean an Air Filter is placed behind the fan. The Air Filter should be cleaned frequently, especially under dusty working conditions.
SERVICE TROUBLE SHOOTING If a malfunction should occur in the TRP 9250, the following instructions should be followed in order to locate the module which is causing the malfunction : If possible execute the built in selftest. An ’Error Code’ for the failing module will be displayed.
POWER PROTECTION POWER PROTECTION The TRP 9250 Power and Protection system is monitoring the transmitter circuits during transmission and will automatcally maximize the radiated power to safe limits.
