Resumen del manual
Be certain both feed rotation limit switch arms are not distorted and ride centrally on the actuating cam to open their corresponding limit switch. • Inspect the azimuth and elevation jackscrew boots for security of attachment at both ends, for abrasion, tears, cuts, brittleness and other damage that may expose the jackscrew to the environment (water, dust, etc.). Minor repairs can be made with RTV108 silicone rubber sealant. • Visually inspect the feed window for dirt and the feed, feed supports, feed window, and reflector for distortion, foreign object damage and environmental deterioration due to ice and snow, dust, rain, hail, and high winds, etc. which may cause electrical component and/or structural deformation. • Check the cable attachment to the resolvers and to the LNA or LNB’s and enclosure mount interface for security, the cable rouging for secure hanger attachment and the cable insulation for cuts, cracking, abrasion, and other deterioration. Check the LNA or LNB’s and the resolvers for a secure mechanical attachment. Ensure proper torquing of polarization drive gear box setscrews and appropriate tensioning of corresponding drive chain assembly, if applicable. • Check (if applicable) that the drain holes in the bottom of the enclosure are not obstructed and there is no evidence of water accumulation. Check the enclosure doors for proper closure and that the door seals are intact, not torn, abraided or otherwise damaged. Check that all other seals are intact and if not, use a coating of RTV-108 (silicone rubber sealant) to seal any exposed electrical fitting, bolt hold, or other possible water entry to electrical components in order to maintain a weatherproof condition. If the enclosure is provided with a vent fan, check for free operation of the fan blade. The fan bearings are permanently lubricated; any binding, abnormal noise or vibration necessitates replacement of he fan assembly. Check and replace the fan filter element if it appears dirty or obstructed with dust. • Check for the appearance of surface lubricants that will cause the accumulation of dirt and grime. Clean off all excess surface lubricants with a cloth and if required, a cloth dampened not wetted with trichlorethylene, or equal. 48 Preventive Maintenance Drive System Voltage and Current Checks Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 • Visually inspect all mechanical parts for freedom of operation with no misalignment, binding or interference. Check all cabling for sufficient slack to prevent cable strain as well as adequate restraint to prevent abrasion or chaffing during antenna and feed movement. • Check security of antenna mounting and interconnecting assembly hardware. Be certain all electrical grounding connections (including cross-axis grounding straps) are intact and secure, not corroded or broken. Thoroughly clean any noticeable corroded portions of grounding cables, unplated portion of universal terminals and corresponding mounting surfaces using a wire brush. Replace rather than tighten any loose A-325 structural hardware. The hardware distorts at initial installation and once loosened will not maintain the required high strength friction connection. All other assembly and installation hardware should be tightened to its original torqued condition. When installing new structural hardware, do not use a wrench with a lever arm longer than two feet. • Examine painted aluminum and galvanized surfaces and tough-up where required. At the conclusion of the installation procedure prior to turning the system over to the station facility, an installation acceptance check off sheet was prepared and duly signed off if installed by Andrew crew. Part of this check off included voltage readings retaken to determine if proper voltage was available. Current readings were also taken as a reference for future comparison to serve as a troubleshooting aid in determining possible equipment degradation and shortened life. Any current reading taken during the following procedure that varies by more than five percent from the pre-established reference values necessitates troubleshooting the particular system involved to determine the cause and required corrective action. Approximately every three months and during a period of down time, disconnect as applicable the RF transmitter and all power supplies. The main disconnect switch in the main load center box at the antenna site must be in the ON position and the LOCAL/REMOTE switch in the local control motor drive controller must be in the LOCAL position. Open the outer local control/motor drive controller door at the antenna site to gain access to the conductors supplying power to the azimuth, elevation, and polarization drive motors. NOTE: During the following procedures, the antenna drives (azimuth, elevation, and polarization) will be powered to rotate the antenna and feed in both directions of travel. Check that this condition can be tolerated from a safety as well as an operational standpoint, and that the...
