•System
Assembly
Module
Systems have type numbers starting with NM, for example NM 7033. Systems consist of
assemblies, modules and parts.
Assemblies have type numbers consisting of three letters, a three- or four- digit number and a
letter, for example LPA 1230A. LPA is an abbreviation of
L
ocalizer
P
ower amplifier
A
ssembly,
1230 is a running number, and the last letter is the variant designator. Assemblies can consist
of assemblies, modules and parts.
Modules have type numbers consisting of two letters, a three- or four- digit number and a let-
ter, for example FD 1235A. FD is an abbreviation of
F
eedback
D
etector, 1235 is a running
number, and the last letter is the variant designator. Modules consist of parts.
