Preventive Maintenance

TracVision 6 requires minimal preventive maintenance. The
following tasks are sufficient to maintain peak performance.
Monthly
• Wash the exterior of the radome and baseplate
assembly with fresh water; a mild detergent may
be added to remove grime. Use caution when
spraying the radome directly with high-pressure
water.
• Do not apply abrasive cleaners or volatile solvents
such as acetone to the ABS radome.
• Check all connectors at the antenna baseplate and
IRD. Remove connectors and examine for signs of
corrosion; clean as needed.
Semi-Annually
• Remove the radome and examine the interior of
the antenna unit for signs of corrosion, loose
connections, or frayed or broken wires.
