9 Planned Maintenance
9.1 Overview and Safety Notices
This section provides information on the planned maintenance for all standard systems within the
SBS-800 range.
MAINTENANCE RECORD
The following pages have been designed to be printed, completed and stored as a maintenance
record for standard systems. Any damage that is identified as part of an inspection should
immediately be reported to Kelvin Hughes and appropriate action taken to prevent further damage
occurring.
PROCEDURE
Prior to carrying out any maintenance the system must be fully isolated from all sources of AC power
including any UPS supported supplies, the required maintenance task(s) should be undertaken and
on completion, the power restored and the system fully tested.
SPARES
Where required, only Kelvin Hughes approved spares must be used. The use of unapproved spares
invalidates the warranty status of the unit and could lead to a malfunction of the system.
ADVERSE WEATHER
It is strongly recommended that the gearbox inspections noted in Annual Maintenance procedures are
carried out at the earliest safe opportunity after the system has been exposed to severe or adverse
weather conditions.
HEALTH & SAFETY
All safety warnings for the system noted at the beginning of this handbook must be observed at all
times when working on, inspecting or maintaining any part of the system or its associated sub
systems.
TEST FAILURE
Please contact Kelvin Hughes Ltd for instructions if one of the tests detailed in the following
procedures fails.
ENHANCED ANTENNA SUB-SYSTEMS
This handbook does not detail the planned or preventative maintenance procedures for the Enhanced
antenna sub-system. Please refer to the handbook supplied with the equipment for details.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGES
Lethal AC and DC voltages are present within the equipment. Prior to carrying out planned
maintenance, the system must be fully isolated, refer to section 4.5 for details.
CAUTION
GEARBOX TEMPERATURE
When the system has been operating in strong sunlight or elevated temperatures, the transceiver,
gearbox casing and antenna surfaces will be extremely hot.
