WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK

POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS ARE PRESENT IN THE


DME 2020 WHEN THE MAINS SUPPLY IS CONNECTED.

ENSURE THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM EARTH (GROUND) IS CONNECTED AT


ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION.

BERYLLIUM

Bery llium oxide is used in the high frequency power transistors and in some terminations on high
power RF connections. In this form, it is harmless. However, if the transistor casing or termination is
split, the oxide may be exposed and represent a health hazard.

00 NOT HANDLE POWER TRANSISTORS WITH SPLIT CASINGS USING BARE


HANDS.

BATTERIES

The back-up batteries supplied with certain versions of the DME 2020 contain a fixed, gel,
electrolyte. The batteries are totally sealed when manufactured; but, if the casing of a battery has split,
there may be a danger of electrolyte spillage.

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE


OF BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS

TAKE CARE WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES WITH DAMAGED CASINGS.

TAKE CARE NOT TO SHORT CIRCUIT THE BATTERY TERMINALS.

SMA COUPLING NUTS

All SMA coupling uuts should be tightened using an SMA torque spanner set to 0.79 Nm -
1.13 Nm.

Site maintenance and repairs

2 Failure diagnosis is achieved by observation of the indicators on the LRUs in conjunction


with BITE status checks from the local or remote status units. Fault trees are detailed in
Section 7 Chapter 6.

If the user has printed out the parameters within the seven days before the failure, and only
ONE sub-assembly has failed, a repair can be achieved by adjusting the power level on the
Tx controller to the power setting shown on the printout, using the parameter screen as a
reference. If the monitor has failed, adjustment to give the required voltage should give the
desired output shown on the parameter screen. The maintainer should then obtain the
necessary test equipment as soon as possible, to confirm serviceability.

REPAIRS

GENERAL

3 Repairs to the DME 2020 at site maintenance level comprise the exchange ofthe LRUs for
which instructions are given in the remainder of the chapter. Before exchanging an LRU,
check FAS215 in section 6 chapter 4, to see if the LRU contains any links on circuit boards. If
necessary, check the new LRU to ensure that the link settings are correct. After switching on
the equipment, check that all indicators register in the green.

WARNING

ALWAYS REMOVE POWER FROM THE EQUIPMENT AND DISABLE THE BATTERIES
BEFORE CARRYING OUT REMOVAL OR ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES.

This equipment contains static sensitive devices that eBn be damaged by


electro-static discharge (ESD).

5.3 Check that failure or tripping of the battery protection fuse breaker produces an alarm
by tripping one of the battery circuit breakers. Check that a fault is correctly
indicated.

504 Connect a DVM to the BCPSU front panel test points and check that the battery
charge voltage is 26.8 ±O.5 V. (unless batteries are depleted).

5.5 On completion, check that the message "O.K." is shown against STATUS in the
POWER SOURCE window on the LRU STATUS screen on the LMM/RMM.

The power rack is intended for use as a component part of other equipment. When
installing the power rack and making input and output connection, the relevant safety
standards egoIEC950NDE 0805; EN60950; CSA standard c22.2 must be complied
with, especially the requirements for creepage distance, clearance and distance
through insulation between primary wiring and earth or secondary (SEL V) wiring.

The output power taken from the supply must not exceed the rating given on the
"power rack".

This Power rack is suitable for different rated voltages. The switch over to the
corresponding rated voltage which belongs to the specific appliance is done
automatically in the appliance.

The Earth wire must be connected only to the Earthing point which is marked with
the Earth symbol.

cabinet.

61.5 Grasp the ejector handle on the Monitor and pull the handle out to disengage the
monitor from the backplane connector. Remove the Monitor from the
Transponder/Monitor rack.

62 Check that the link settings for the replacement Monitor are the same as for the Monitor that
is being replaced or refer to FAS215 (section 6 chapter 4) for the correct link settings.

62.1 Insert the extender card CMEA 1029 into the rack and connect the Monitor to the
extender.

62.4 Connect the oscilloscope channel 1 input to the REPLY DET output on the Monitor.
Trigger the oscilloscope from the PULSE 1 output on the live TX Video. Set the time
base to 1f.lSper division.

62.7 Using the PC check that all indications on the Parameter Status Window for the
Monitor are normal. If necessary calibrate the power level.

62.8 Remove the extender following 61.1/2 above. Replace monitor and secure with
captive screws. Follow 62.2/3 above to switch the DME back on.
