8 Maintenance Guide
The base station is designed to be very reliable and should require little
maintenance. However, performing regular checks will prolong the life of
the equipment and prevent problems from happening.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every check that you should
perform on your base station. The type and frequency of maintenance
checks will depend on the location and type of your system. The checks and
procedures listed below can be used as a starting point for your maintenance
schedule.
Performance Checks We suggest you monitor the following operational parameters:
■ VSWR
■ DC input voltage, especially on transmit
■ receiver sensitivity
■ the setting of the receiver gate opening
■ transmit deviation
These basic checks will provide an overview of how well your base station
is operating.
Receiver There are no special maintenance requirements for the receiver.
Transmitter There are no special maintenance requirements for the transmitter.
System Interface There are no special maintenance requirements for the System interface.
Ventilation The base station has been designed to have a front-to-back cooling airflow.
We strongly recommend that you periodically check and maintain the
ventilation requirements described in “Ventilation” on page 46 to ensure a
long life and trouble-free operation for your base station.
Cooling Fans The cooling fans have a long service life and have no special maintenance
requirements.
Battery If you are using battery, you should check the batteries regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
