7. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

CAUTION:

Improper modification of configuration parameters may adversely

affect system operation. The default values may not be appropriate

for the specific application. It is the system integrator’s responsibility

to tailor the configuration parameters to the specific operating

environment.

Corrective maintenance procedures

Note: When removing or installing ESD sensitive equipment always follow the accepted practices for

ESD protection.

The inspect, clean, and system re-test methodology is used for all system maintenance. This type of

maintenance consists of the following general steps.

1. Inspect all Reader connections.

Determine if the connections require cleaning. To clean component connector contacts, use a contact

cleaner spray that does not contain a trichloroethylene based solvent or a Freon® based propellant.

Attention: Pre-authorized lane closure is required if the connectors need to be cleaned.

Preventive maintenance procedures and scheduling

Attention: Only Kapsch Service-trained service maintenance personnel are to

perform these tasks.

Once a year:

1. Perform RF measurements to verify the cables and reader. It is recommended a commercial off-the shelf

instrument is used which supports Cable Analyzer Testing, to show faults inside cables, and Voltage

Network Analysis, to verify connection integrity and end to end connectivity and gain.

2. Verify reader output power and power at antenna using a commercial off-the shelf spectrum analyzer.

With power off:

1. Inspect and clean the Reader as needed, depending on the site environmental conditions, such as

contamination by dust. As a minimum, inspect and clean the reader once per year.

2. Inspect the antenna waterproofing and ensure that any seal is secure.

3. Inspect the antenna weep hole. Remove any dust, dirt or other obstructions.
