System Maintenance
• In the event of a failure Cobham Wireless’s support service should be contacted for advice on a possible
module replacement or other action to be taken.
• If a shipment of a repeater back to Cobham Wireless is made within the period of guarantee the original
packing must be used.
• The system normally operates without any operator intervention or maintenance. If in the unlikely event of
any unit failure, the faulty repeater should be replaced. A failed unit can be removed and replaced with a
spare while the rest of the system (other repeaters) is still operating. However, the power supply of the
failed repeater should be isolated from the power before anything is replaced.
• Component Replacement - None of the modules in the repeater can be replaced without removing the
repeater from its mounting and opening the cover of the repeater.
• In the event of a malfunction in the system, the status of the antenna systems as well as the continuity of
the cabling should be checked before replacing any modules within the repeater.
Product Disposal
