3.1 Introduction

This chapter contains information on the maintenance and calibration of the Liberty-STAR 3 and its associated assemblies.

3.2 Preventative Maintenance Procedures

Recommended routine maintenance activities are limited to monthly, semi-annual and annual checks. The LS3 is constantly monitoring its components, including T1/E1 loops, H100 networks, CE and PE hardware modules, 2-wire and 4-wire circuit interfaces and power supplies.

Anomalies are reported at the SMART and an audible alarm can be triggered. Modules employ telltale LEDs to give an immediate visual indication of their status. However, checks must be done periodically to ensure that the system continues to function normally.

System checks:

• Monthly

View SMART fault indicators

Confirm status display of CE module LEDs

• Procedure

At the bottom of the SMART display, confirm that the following messages are displayed:

“Server is active”

“Connected to COP”

On the Menu bar, select Diagnostics/Status. This opens the Diagnostic Status

Screen. Refresh the diagnostics then confirm that no indicators are red (no fault indications).

• Corrective Action in Case of Failure

Refer to Chapter 5, for the meaning of all of the indicators.

If an indicator is red, clicking on it will open a lower level screen, which will normally provide more detailed information about any problem.

Investigate all indicated faults. Attempt to relate any error indications with known discrepancies, such as a position temporarily out of service, etc.

• Check-out Steps

After any corrective action, confirm that the affected indicator has changed to green.

Maintenance Manual Liberty-STAR 3-3

3.2.1.2 Confirm Status Display of CE Module LEDs

Depending on system size, the Central Equipment (CE) may contain Master Shelves, Master and

Slave Shelves or a Compact Chassis.

Each of the modules in the Central Equipment cabinets has red and green LEDs to indicate the module status. Refer to Chapter 3 for the meaning of each of the module LED meanings.

• List of tools required

None

• Objectives

To verify that the LED indications on the CE modules and ancillary equipment such as channel banks, Aculab, RSS, GPS, clock, recorder, UPS, IP mux, fiber mux or echo canceller, Ethernet switch etc, reflect the state for correct operation of the system.

• Preliminary Set Up

2 Introduction This document is a general description of how to perform preventive maintenance on Jotron equipment. It is not a detailed description on how to perform the various tasks.

As a prerequisite, the maintenance personnel need to be well familiar with the various disciplines that are described here, to use this procedure. The customer is responsible for approving implementation or adaptations of this procedure into their current maintenance and quality system. The procedure requires qualified decisions on several items and should NOT be used without this approval.

3 General Preventive maintenance (PM) is in this procedure:

The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic monitoring, inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects.

Preventive maintenance is conducted to keep equipment working and/or extend the life of the equipment. It includes monitoring, tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts replacement, performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring.

While preventive maintenance is generally considered to be worthwhile, there are risks such as equipment failure or human error involved when performing PM, just as in any maintenance operation.

3.1 Long-term benefits of preventive maintenance include:

Reveal aging before faults occur.

Improved system reliability.

Decreased cost of replacement parts.

Decreased system downtime.

Better spares inventory management.

Hands on experience with the equipment

4 Maintenance Considerations

4.1 Jotron Equipment

Jotron wants to underline that the recommended preventive maintenance for the equipment is outlined in the equipment manual. This procedure is made as a suggestion, and service, to organizations that requires a more extensive maintenance program than the one stated in the equipment manual. Your organization is free to implement as much as needed of this procedure or expand it on your own discretion.

Jotron Transceivers and accessories are designed to operate with a high degree of accuracy and reliability over a long period of time. This is obtained by modern design and careful components selection. In general the Jotron equipment does not need very close follow-up and the mean time between failures is high. This leads to a situation where maintenance personnel in general get little hands-on experience with the equipment. Therefore a more extensive maintenance plan that is strictly needed may be implemented to give the personnel regular hands on experience with the equipment.

4.2 Environment

The operating environment is an important factor when it comes to long an unproblematic operation of the equipment, in particular the ambient temperature, in the equipment room temperature, is a critical factor and should preferably be kept below 23 degrees Celsius. The equipment room temperature should be monitored preferably with Alarm on to high temperature.

Dust and humidity should also be controlled to ensure reliable and durable operation of the equipment.

4.3 Levelling of Operation Hours (Main/Standby systems)

If you have a system with a Main and Standby Radio (RX,TX or Transceiver), it will give a prolonged life time on the units to level the operating hour for the Main and Standby radios so that they get approximately the same operating hours during the life span of the radios. This may be obtained by physically switching the location of the Main and Standby radios every one or two years. If you have a VCCS or Audio Remote Control unit (ARC MkII) in your system, you can do the switching from this unit more frequently, preferably during the Standby Radio Test (se below).

4.4 Logging and Monitoring

Logging of performance parameter over time will give vital information of development of potential problems or degrading of the system. Logging is therefore an important that part of the preventive maintenance procedure. If you have installed the RACS software, you will have an online monitoring and logging of your system in respect to Alarms, and it will also give you remote access to Radio BITE for maintenance logging. Performance logs have to be evaluated for deviations and changes regularly.

All systems delivered from Jotron holds a preFAT, FAT or SAT report with information that can be a reference for the maintenance program.

5 Preventive Maintenance Schedule Jotron suggests that the following activities are performed as indicated in the table.

For more details se chapter 6.

Some of the activities during Preventive Maintenance require interference with operation and must be coordinated or made in cooperation with responsible operational personal.

The table is based on a good and stable operations environment. If you have a more demanding environment or there are seasonal or occasional challenges to the environment, you may need to make adaptations to the Preventive Maintenance Schedule.

The customer may, on their own discretion, alter the sequence or interval of the Preventive Maintenance items outlined in the table, to adapt them to the customer’s current maintenance and quality system.

During FAT or SAT there may be established special procedures or tests that are documented in the reports. If this is the case you should implement these FAT/SAT procedures in your maintenance program as well.

6 Maintenance procedures

6.1 Cleaning

- Turn OFF the unit.

- Disconnect all plugs.

- Vacuum clean cooling inlets and surfaces.

Note!

Do not over-speed the cooling fans during vacuum cleaning.

- Clean all metal surfaces using a humid rag to remove dirt and dust.

- Clean the knobs and connectors.

- Connect all plugs.

- Turn ON the unit.

Note!

Do not use pressurized air for cleaning as this may damage the equipment and it just moves the dirt around.

6.2 Environmental Check

- Ambient temperature in equipment room (Record)

- Humidity in equipment room

- Dust in equipment room

6.3 Power Backup Test (if present)

- Disconnect AC mains power (ie. trip a circuit breaker) to simulate AC failure.

- Observe operation on batteries/UPS for 5 minutes

6.4 Parameter Monitoring

- Record the following information from the Transmitter BITE:

1. Forward Power (while transmitting).

2. Reflected Power (while transmitting).

3. VSWR (while transmitting).

4. Temperature

- Record the following information from the Receiver BITE:

1. RSSI (while receiving from a reference transmitter).

2. AGC voltage (while receiving from a reference transmitter).

3. LNA current (while receiving from a reference transmitter).

4. Temperature

Note!!

A reference transmitter is an ordinary transmitter that is used for every recording to get a comparable result over time. The Transmitter must be attenuated/de-rated so it does not overflow the receiver RSSI scale.

6.5 Performance measurement

Measure, record and compare performance data in accordance to tables below.

(See “Test Procedure TR-7000 VHF/UHF AM Transceiver” for details)

Use calibrated test equipment for this test/adjustment.
