When using high quality sensors and system, most of the routine
maintenance tasks can be performed at the installation site. Some
instruments and advanced calibrations and refurbishments, require the
sensor be returned to the laboratory for proper calibration. When system
components need to be brought in from the field, the best procedure is
to maintain an inventory of spare components. The user can then
exchange a component with a calibrated component or sensor during a
single visit. This is the case especially with sensors that must be
returned to the manufacturer for calibration.
Before the maintenance actions, certain preparations must be made in
order to make the work successful:
- Obtain information on how the site has been functioning before the
scheduled maintenance.
- Obtain information on what maintenance tasks were completed
during the previous maintenance procedure.
- Make sure that you have all the necessary tools available. The
required set of tools depends on the system configuration, however
the minimum is listed below:
- A laptop PC with multiple fully charged batteries.
- The latest operational versions of the MAWS operating software
version, MAWS Lizard Setup Software, and MAWS Terminal
software.
- The configuration file which is used at that particular station to be
maintained.
- All the necessary system documentation.
- MAWS Terminal cable (QMZ101).
- Hand held tools; screw drivers, wrenches, pliers, wire cutters, and
insulation strippers.
- Digital multimeter.
- Clean cloth, cleaning solution, and cleaning brush.
- Lubricant.
- Anti-seize compound.
- Safety harness, if tower climbing is required.
- All the necessary parts to be changed regularly.
- Make a list of all the sensors requiring replacement with
refurbished and calibrated units.
