2.1.1 Summary
2.1.2 Precautions
Danger: Around –43V DC power (Depends on IF cable length) is
superimposed on the center conductor of the coaxial cable between the
IDU and ODU. Connecting a measurement set may damage that set.
Touching the coaxial cable core may cause electrical shock.

3 Preventive Maintenance
This section describes the maintenance work that should be performed on a
periodical basis in order to maintain the system at its highest quality. It should
be performed by fully qualified personnel to ensure proper performance of the
system and safety at the operation site.

1. Visual inspection. Visually inspect ODU and IDU for surface damage
or abnormal appearance and check looseness of bolts and nuts.

2. Meter reading
a-1) Connect the PNM Terminal (PC) to the LA PORT of the IDU
using RS-232C cable. (In case on PASOLINK)
a-2) Connect the PNM Terminal (PC) to the PNMT PORT of the IDU
using RS-232C cable. (In case on PASOLINK)

3. Check configurations
a) Check the condition setting of the IDU according to the
procedure in the PNMT user's manual.
b) Confirm if the condition setting is appropriate according to the
site inventory data.
c) The latest configuration file shall be uploaded and stored. Also,
the Equipment Configuration Parameter shall be recorded and
filed as site inventory data record.

2. Check for loose bolt connections. Make sure that all bolts and nuts
are tightened to the specified torque.
3. Rust prevention
a) Repainting should be carried out every two years to maintain
high corrosion resistance and appearance of the antenna.
However the period may change if rusting or exfoliation occurs
earlier.
b) For antenna, clean first by removing oil and dirt completely with
solvent and then washing with water. Then apply top coat with
ally alkyd enamel diffusive paint (belcoat No.5500) or equivalent.
c) For hot dip galvanized parts of the steel structure, first
completely remove rust, dirt, etc. on the position causing
exfoliation of plating. Then apply Amercoat No.160 with a brush
or sprayer (Thickness: more than 70 microns) manufactured by
Amercoat (AMERCOAT EUROPE).

2. Check for loose bolt connections. Make sure that the jumper coaxial
cables between ODU and IDU are firmly fixed, and all bolts and nuts
are tightened.

4 Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance covers fault isolation, replacement and alignment. The
fault isolation procedure describes isolating equipment-level faults. Therefore, if
an ODU or IDU is faulty, it should be replaced with a spare and aligned. During
corrective maintenance, carefully observe the precautions given in Section 2.1.2
of this document until alignment is completed.
5. Replacement of.

b) ODU. Before replacing the ODU with a spare, the spare must be
set to meet the required functions. Provided here are procedures
for replacing the ODU with spares after fault isolation and/or
presetting.
Removing
i) Turn off the POWER switch on the front panel of the IDU.
ii) Loosen tightening rings of the IF IN/OUT (N) on the ODU
by turning them counter-clockwise.
iii) For waveguide connector type of ODU, to remove the
waveguide from the RF IN/OUT, remove the four
waveguide fixing screws using a screwdriver.
Note: Be careful not to damage the O-ring between the
waveguide and ODU.
iv) Lessen four screws (M6) on the ODU.
v) Remove the ODU from mounting bracket.
vi) Replace ODU with a spare, taking care when handling the
waveguide contact surface.
Remounting
vii) When H polarization is required, rotate the ODU so as to
go up the plate marked with H.
viii) When V polarization is required, rotate the ODU so as to go
up the plate marked with V.
ix) Confirm if the O-ring is to be placed in the original position
properly.
x) Put new ODU on the mounting bracket and align the bolts
of the ODU with the bolt holes of the mounting bracket.
xi) Tighten the four screws (M6) on the ODU using a suitable
screwdriver.
xii) Connect coaxial cable between the IF IN/OUT jacks on the
IDU and ODU.

ODU
e) Referring to the procedure for condition setting of ODU and IDU
described in the equipment instruction manual, perform radio
frequency and TX output power setting for the ODU.
IDU
f) Referring to the procedure for condition setting of ODU and IDU
described in the equipment instruction manual, perform each
item setting for the IDU.
g) Connect the PNMT to the LA PORT of the IDU using an RS-
232C cable. (PASOLINK)
g-2) Connect the PNMT to the PNMT port of IDU using an RS-232C
cable (PASOLINK+)

j) The faulty ODU and/or IDU shall be returned to the Supplier for
repair.

Note
In case of PASOLINK+, an Antenna Alignment Mode which extend the range of RX
LEVEL MON is available. The detailed procedure shall be referred as per the
instruction manual of PASOLINK+.
