7.1.6 Fault repair
Once a faulty component has been identified, a decision must be made on the appropriate course to
carry out a repair. A competent engineer can quickly remedy typical faults such as faulty connections
or cables. The exceptions to this are cable assemblies connecting bandpass filter assemblies that are
manufactured to critical lengths to maintain a 50-ohm system. Care should be taken when replacing
cables or connectors to ensure that items are of the correct specification. The repair of component
modules such as amplifiers and bandpass filters will not usually be possible in the field, as they
frequently require specialist knowledge and test equipment to ensure correct operation. It is
recommended that items of this type are replaced with a spare unit and the faulty unit returned to AFL
for repair.
7.1.7 Service Support
Advice and assistance with maintaining and servicing this system are available by contacting Aerial
Facilities Ltd.

Individual modules are not intended to be repaired on site and attempts at repair will
invalidate active warranties. Company policy is that individual modules should be repaired
by replacement. Aerial Facilities Ltd maintains a high level of stock of most modules which
can usually be despatched at short notice to support this policy.
