6 MAINTENANCE
6.1
GENERAL
This section addresses repeater faults, fault identification, fault troubleshooting,
removal and replacement of faulty item(s), and final system testing.
6.2
MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY
Repeater maintenance is limited to removal and replacement of least replaceable
units (SPU, HPA, RF Coupler, RF Detector(s) and fixed hardware components such as
air filter, fans, and cables) and modification of GUI screen parameters. The user is not
authorized to attempt repair of any LRU. Repair or replacement of any other compo-
nents, such as the PDU, Band Pass Filter, or internal heater requires replacement of
the entire repeater assembly
. Prior to shipping a repeater back to Alcatel-Lucent, con-
tact the Customer Technical Assistance Center (CTAC) to discuss the problem. See
CT
AC contact instructions in the Front Matter section of this manual.

TEST EQUIPMENT
The only test equipment required is a PC.

SPECIAL TOOLS
Two special wrenches are required to perform maintenance on the HPA and the RF
Coupler.
HPA RF CONNECTOR WRENCH:
1 1/4-inch open-end, overall length not to exceed four inches. Maximum
thic
kness 1/2 inch.
RF COUPLER WRENCH:
1 1/8-inch open-end, overall length not to exceed five inches. Maximum

6.5
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The only required scheduled preventive maintenance is for the rear door air filter
assembly. As a general rule, it is recommended replacing the air filter every 6 months
under normal conditions or every 3 months in dusty environments. Under extremely
dusty conditions or in a windy environment near open areas with loose blowing sand/
dirt, it is recommended that filters be inspected more frequently and adjusting
replacement intervals as deemed necessary.
6.6
TROUBLESHOOTING OVERVIEW
Troubleshooting can be performed remotely and locally as described in the following
paragraphs.
6.6.1
Remote Troubleshooting Overview
Remote troubleshooting is performed at the NMC by an operator using the GUI screens.
When the cause of the fault is identified, the user determines if the fault can be cor-
rected from the NMC. If not, a maintenance technician is dispatched to the repeater site.
