Operation and Maintenance 1.2 STORING AND UNPACKING THE VOR ANTENNA General Information
The VOR antenna is supplied in a crate with dimensions approx. 3500 x 1300 x 1100 [mm].
CAUTION
This crate is not suitable for stacking, and should not be subjected to any load. The crane driver must be instructed that it is essential to pull the lifting cable under the pallet. The crate may be transported using the fork lift truck, because the pallet has been designed accordingly. If intermediate storage is necessary, the crate or the unpacked antenna should be stored in a dry room. It is advisable to check the intactness of the antenna immediately after it is received. An un packed antenna should always be stored on the pallet.

General Information 1.3 1.3.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION Safety Precautions Operation and Maintenance
It is the task of the site supervisor or construction manager to make available the materials supplied by ANS, independently procured special materials and tools. For every site strict attention should be paid to safety regulations issued by the local authorities.
1.3.1.1
General Rules
The following rules should be observed for prevention of accidents: - Consumption of alcohol in any form is forbidden on the installation site. - Drunken persons, or those under influence of alcohol will not be tolerated on the installation site. - Protective goggles and safety gloves are to be worn when work is being carried out on batteries. Rinsing water, soda and several cleaning cloths should be available. - Sturdy shoes, safety gloves and safety helmets are to be worn. - Protruding nails, strips etc. must be removed immediately. Ladders and planks must always be carefully checked before use. - Do not tread on protruding plank sections. - Never leave objects on scaffolding or ladders. - Scaffolding or frames are to be erected sturdily and must always be tested before use. - Test electrical devices and extension cables for accident safety. - Remove fuses before carrying out work on mains. - Wear protective goggles when carrying out sanding or drilling operations. - Sand off burr from chisels and punches in good time. - Test striking tools for tightness of fit. - Do not put pointed or sharp objects into working-clothing pockets. - Jewelry such as chains and rings should be removed when working on building sites especially when working with electrical devices. - Always keep escape routes clear. - Every employee on an installation site should know: S where the First-Aid box is kept S the telephone number of the nearest casualty doctor and eye specialist S where the fire extinguisher is kept S the location of hazardous areas on the way to the work place, or at the work place itself.
1.3.1.2
Precautionary Measures against Damage caused by Animals
Damage caused by animals is highly improbable. The door should be locked in the absence of the personnel. During installation and maintenance period it is absolutely essential that the radome re mains closed overnight as well as during work breaks in the daytime. Otherwise it is likely that birds will build their nests inside the radome.
1.3.1.3
Equipment Notes
Subassemblies should not be removed whilst under voltage. The consequence of this type of action is the likelihood of permanent damage and the transmitter rack can not be set in operation correctly. Never energize the installation with a non-grounded rack. The first electrical connection to be made should be the rack ground. If there is no ground, the equipment central processing unit may develop a fault or become blocked.

Operation and Maintenance 1.3.2 Personnel Requirement General Information
At least 4 persons are required to install the shelter. In addition to the crane driver, at least two further persons are required to install the antenna on the counterpoise. It is however advisable to keep four persons ready for all installation work, so that a standby is available in case of unforeseen events. If the antenna is lifted onto the shelter roof using improvised means and without a crane truck, then four persons are absolutely essential, and a fifth person would simplify operations.
1.3.3
Tools and Special Materials
The delivery list provided by ANS should be checked at as early a date as possible in order to identify materials not included in ANS's scope of delivery which may be essential for the infrastructure of the overall installation. For example, materials for grounding the VOR installation must be provided. Sug gestions and instructions on correct grounding are contained in Chapter 2. The following tools and equipment are the minimum required to unpack and assemble the equipment and the antenna sys tem (not including the DME or the TACAN): 1 crane truck, lifting capacity 500 kg, min. jib reach 3 m, lifting height approx. 7 m; alternatively a 10 to 12 m long guyed auxiliary mast with block and tackle can be used (see also installation of VOR antenna) 1 crowbar 1 hammer 1000 g 2 ratchets with sets of sockets 1 three-square scraper 1 inch ruler 1 spirit level 1 impact drill, min. power 600 W 1 set screwdrivers, blade width 3.5 mm to 8 mm various flat and round files various carbide drills various twist drills for metal

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE
The area in which a VOR is to be installed is determined by the responsible Civil Aviation Authority according to the international air traffic regulations. This area is generally sufficiently large to allow a point with the optimum topography and thus the optimum propagation conditions to be choosen. This point is determined by means of a site survey at which a surveyor must always be present. ANS can provide an engineering consultant on site for this survey. When the installation site has been de termined precise bearings must be taken, either with reference to trigonometrical points or - if a satel lite receiver is available - via satellite radio for increased precision.

Installation 2.2 2.2.1 VOR SHELTER General
Ref. No. 83134 60010
The following type of shelter is available to build up an VOR installation: - 10 ft VOR container shelter An adaptation plate ref. no. 35980 28001 is available for adaptation to existing shelter/buildings.
2.2.2
VOR Container Shelter
See Figs. 2-3, 2-4. The AN 400 equipment can be supplied already installed in a 10 ft ANS Standard Shelter (type 1D). To cover the requirements the shelter is based on the definition on transport containers ISO/DIN stan dards. The shelter consists of a self-supporting, distortion resistant steel frame construction with eight ISO corners and walls made of sandwich panels in standardized container dimensions. During installation, the shelter should be placed on the foundations such that the door is oriented according to the site survey and project drawings. The shelter is anchored to the four foundation blocks using the ISO corners and twist locks. The roof of the shelter can be walked on. The shelter itself is splashproof, resistant against to a marine climate and insensitive to salt water, fungus and termites. A complete electrical installation is already provided which can easily be adapted to specific project requirements. The battery box, which is hermetically sealed from the interior in its operating state, is accessible from the inside of the shelter and ventilated from the outside. Its shelf-type construction provides space for a block of batteries (48 V, 256 Ah max.) for the AN 400 navaids as well as for collo cated equipment. Ventilation is provided by one or two through-the-wall air conditioning units and thermostat. The air conditioning equipment is designed to fulfil the environmental conditions for all products installed in the container. One fire extinguisher is provided. The power supply (mains) and signal (RC, field monitor) feeder cables enter from below through openings in the shelter floor. When installing the antenna it should be remembered that the roof of the shelter may be mounted by two persons max., though the lateral counterpoise sections should not be used as a working sur face. No risk is involved if these sections are mounted briefly occasionally, providing all supports are fitted correctly. A completely flat, electrically homogeneous counterpoise surface, which remains stable in windy conditions, is essential for the quality of the radiated signal. A check should be per formed following installation to ensure that the surface of the counterpoise has no uneven points higher than 5 mm or cracks longer than 50 mm. When transporting the shelter by crane or helicopter, care should be taken to ensure that the angle between the lifting harness and the crate is at least 60 (see Fig. 2-2).

Installation 2.2.2.2 Installation of the VOR Antenna Operation and Maintenance
See Figs. 2-5 to 2-10. NOTE: The antenna should not normally be unpacked from its transportation crate until it is in the immediate vicinity of the shelter.
WARNING
When installing the antenna on the shelter roof, observe any relevant safety regulations. At least 3 to 4 people are required for handling the antenna, which weights approximately 115 kg. Handle the antenna carefully during transportation and installation. Take particu lar care with the antenna connection. a) Installing the antenna with the aid of a crane: - If a crane is used to install the antenna, hooks or similar should only be secured to the jack rings on the cover plate (Fig. 2-5/4). - Unpack the antenna (Fig. 2-5/2) and keep the joint sealing compound (washing bottle) (Fig. 2-5/3) in a safe place. - Raise the antenna onto the shelter roof with the aid of the crane, and position with the antenna connection in the recess provided in the antenna adapter plate. b) Installing the antenna without aid of a crane: - Construct a sloping plane with two sufficiently stable beams and secure to the roof structure. - Position the beams sufficiently far apart for the ends of the antenna to be laid on them. - Roll the antenna up the beams, then install and position with the antenna connection in the recess in the antenna adapter plate.
WARNING
Secure the antenna with anchoring wires or supports to prevent it falling over until it has been screwed tight. c) Further steps - Mark the position of the two overlapping quarter-shells of the antenna cover (radome) and re move the shells.
CAUTION
There is a risk of damage to the antenna system when the quarter-shells are removed! - Remove the transportation safeguard (2 angle bars) (Fig. 2-8/3). - Position the 13 mm holes in the antenna base ring (Fig. 2-8/5) so that they are exactly congruent with those in the antenna adapter plate (with the center section of the cover above it).

NOTE:
Operation and Maintenance Power Supply Power Connections
See Fig. 2-15 to 2-18 and 2-22. The BCPS is a unit designed for "stationary operation", and its main connection and protection measures should conform to VDE 0875, Table 2, Paras. 6 and 7. The unit fulfils the protection class I of EN 60950. The following should be noted in particular: - A permanently wired mains connection is recommended. The 230 VAC supply system must be able to supply approx. 110 V in minimum, with an internal resistance of the supply system < 0.5 ohms. - If the wiring is not permanent, the plug-in connection must be protected against incor rect connection (e.g. Perilex or CEE connectors). - The ground cable must be laid separately, and connected permanently to the FPE ter minal and to the connecting bolts (BSE) of the rack. - A ground fault interrupter must be provided for a rated fault current of 30 mA. The connection must be done in the following sequence:
WARNING
Before connecting the cables check that the mains lead is dead and that the battery is not connected. Set the ON/OFF switches of the ACC 54 units to OFF. Remove the units. Remove the rear panel. Connect a cable between the terminal FPE and the potential equalization bus. Connect the mains leads (nom. 115 to 230 VAC/50Hz) to the terminals designated L3, N3 and PE located on the bottom plate and from there to the corresponding terminals on the connec tion plate. If a mains filter is installed on the bottom plate (european version only) connect the mains leads to the corresponding terminals on the mains filter and from there to the terminals on the connection plate. The protective earth should be connected to PE. Connect the cables to the battery terminals BAT+ and BAT- located on the C-bar taking care not to connect them the wrong way round. Connect the measurement lines to the battery terminals BAT0, BAT1, BAT2 and BFUSE (2x) located on the C-bar if an auxiliary contact is available on the battery main switch. Connect the ground stuts (BSE) of the rack (Fig. 2-21) to the ground points and/or the potential equalization bus of the shelter.

Operation and Maintenance 2.4 2.4.1 GROUNDING General Installation
The type of grounding implemented is dependent on the local terrain. Consequently it is only possible to provide general guidelines here. Grounding conductors or rods are metallic elements of a particular form which are either driven into the ground or laid in the ground so as to cover a relatively large area. All connections in the ground must be welded and protected against corrosion. The ground resis tance required for a VOR (or other navigation installations) can be given as 5 W. This resistance can only be measured precisely with the aid of special ground resistance measuring equipment. The exact measuring procedure is described in the operating instructions for these devices. Universally valid instructions are given in Section 2.4.6. Sufficient grounding can generally be obtained if the installation suggestions described below and the terrain conditions are paid attention to. When esti mating the ground resistance the length and extent of the network laid are the crucial points, not the cross-sectional area of the conductors. Favorable resistance conditions are provided by arable land and loamy ground (ground resistivity 100 W per meter). The data specified below applies to these conditions. With other types of terrain the factors below must be taken into consideration (increase in the resistance with respect to the basic values stated). Moist sandy soil Dry sandy soil Gravel or stones 2x 5 to 10x up to 30x
If the ground is not chemically neutral, e.g. if it is salty, it may be necessary to coat all metal parts laid in the ground with lead or to use a sufficiently non-corrosive steel (e.g. V2A). The different types are as follows:

0.5...1 m
Radial ground
Ground rod or plate
Interlinked ground
Fig. 2-23
Different types of ground conductor configuration
2.4.2
Strip or mesh Ground Conductors
Strip ground conductors take the form of a strip, round material or cable laid in the ground at a depth of 0.5 to 1 m so as to cover a relatively large area. Materials: Steel strip (hot galvanized) Copper strip Copper cable (not finely-stranded) 100 mm@, min. thickness 3 mm 50 mm@, min. thickness 2 mm 135 mm@
Ed.1 12.99
2-29
VOR 431
The network should be laid as symmetrical to the VOR station as possible. The necessary length and extension when laid in a straight line, should be estimated from the basic data below. Strip length 25 m 50 m 100 m Ground resistance 10 W 5W 3W
2.4.3
Ground Rods
Ground rods are either pipes or U, L or T-shaped profiles driven vertically into the ground and 1 to 2 m in length. It is necessary to connect several ground rods together in order to reduce the grounding resistance. The minimum spacing is twice the length of each ground rod. Material: Steel (hot galvanized) Pipe Bracket U-profile T-profile 30 x 3 mm L 65 x 65 x 7 mm U 65 DIN 1026 T 60 DIN 1024
Probable grounding resistance of a rod:
Length 1 m approx. 70 W Length 2 m approx. 40 W
The material, cross sectional areas and grounding resistance of the connecting leads to the shelter should be as for strip ground conductors, (see Section 2.4.2). When pipe-type grounding rods are fastened with clamps, screws at least M10 in size should be used.
2.4.4
Ground Plates
Ground plates are solid perforated sheet metal plates with dimensions of approx. 0.5 x 1 m or 1 x 1 m, which are embedded vertically in the ground. The top edge of the plates should always be at least 1 m below the surface. Several ground plates must be connected in parallel in order to reduce the grounding resistance. The minimum spacing should be 3 m. Material: Sheet steel (hot galvanized) Sheet copper min. thickness 3 mm min. thickness 2 mm
The ground resistance of a plate 1 m@ is approx. 30 W. The data for the connecting conductors is spe cified in the tables in Section 2.4.2.
2.4.5
Estimating the Ground Resistance
The resistance of each rod, each plate and each supply line used should be determined on the basis of Section 2.4.2 to 2.4.4. They should be considered as parallel resistances. The resulting grounding resistance should then be calculated as follows: 1/Rres =1/R1+1/R2+1/R3+...+ Rn. Taking into ac count the nature of the terrain (for factors see Section 2.4.1) satisfactory grounding conditions can be assumed if the ground resistance calculated from the base data is < 5 W. If the value calculated is 5 W or more, we recommend measuring the ground resistance.

Operation and Maintenance 2.4.6 Measuring the Ground Resistance Installation
See Fig. 2-24. Three measurements must be performed over a large area in order to determine the ground resis tance precisely. The distance between 2 auxiliary grounds required must be large in relation to the complete ground network of the navigation installation. Two steel rods approx. 1 m long should be used as auxiliary grounds (reinforcing bars); these should be driven into the ground with only a few centimeters remaining at the designated points. It is essential that the rods are of equal length and are driven in to the same depth.

Determining of the ground resistance
Example of a VOR plate ground with 5 x 2 plates, each 1 m2. The drawing is not to scale. A theoretical ground resistance of approx. 2 W (good) would be obtained on the basis of the 10 plates, connecting conductors and assumed terrain conditions (e.g. arable land) in accordance with the formula in Sec tion 2.4.5. Measurements are performed as shown in the diagram below: E H1 H2 M1 M2 M3 = = = = = = Installation ground Auxiliary ground 1 Auxiliary ground 2 Measured value 1 Measured value 2 Measured value 3
E M1 H1 M2 H2 M3
Measured value 1: Measured value 2: Measured value 3:
Resistance between installation ground and auxiliary ground 1 Resistance between auxiliary ground 1 and auxiliary ground 2 Resistance between installation ground and auxiliary ground 2
Ed.1 12.99
2-31
VOR 431
When the three measurements have been performed the ground resistance is calculated as follows: Ground resistance = Corr. meas. value 1 + corr. meas. 3 - corr. meas. value 2 2
The measurement is falsified by the resistance of the 2 test leads. The cross-sectional area of the test leads should not be less than 1.5 mm@ in order to ensure an adequate breaking strength. With this cross-sectional area and an assumed length of 2 x 25 m = 50 m, the falsifying resistance would be 0.58 W. This resistance should therefore be measured and deducted from measured values 1, 2 and 3. The measured values corrected in this manner are entered into the above formula.

Operation and Maintenance 2.5 2.5.1 COLLOCATION WITH DME/TACAN Overview Installation
See Figs. 2-26, 2-39, 2-40, 2-44. This description concerns to the collocation of DME FSD 40/45, DME 415/435 or TACAN FTA 43 with a VOR 431. The DME or TACAN equipment is normally located in the VOR shelter. To synchronize the identification, the collocated DME (TACAN) uses an interface with the VOR system. To transfer "Maintenance" and "Status" of the DME (TACAN) a RS 232-cable connection is established between VOR and DME (TACAN) if these are not connected with an individual modem (internal or external) to the Tower resp. RCSU 443 via a 2 wire lines connection. These examples are shown in Fig. 2-39, 2-40 and 2-44. The terminal points in the AF-distribution box, which may be used for 2 wire connec tion, are shown in Fig. 2-26. Further information to the DME FSD 40/45 will be found in the Technical Manual Ref.No. 8BR 02016 1000 DEGFA, to the DME 415/435 in the manual Ref.No. 8BR 0212 1000 DEGFA and to the TACAN FTA 43 in the manual Ref.No. DE 0360071-18/1E or Ref.No. DE 0360071-18/2E.

Never switch on the installation unless the antenna or an adequate dummy load is cor rectly connected! Make sure that the switches on the AC/DC converter are in ON position. Use the STATION main switch of PMM-5 first to fully switch on the installation. Use the main switch TX1 and/or TX2 to switch on the transmitters individually. Additionally the main switches DME or RL (Radio Link) can be used to switch on the power supply to associated installations of a DME or a Radio Link. If a PMM option is installed, use the main switch TX1 and/or TX2 after the alignment procedure is com pleted to switch on the transmitter. The indications on the control and status panel light up.

3.4.7
Functional Check of Indications
When the LAMP TEST key is pressed all indications light up simultaneously and the buzzer sounds for optical and acoustical test purposes. Since the monitor carries out normal checks of function and accuracy, the operation of the installation is faultless when the control and status panel indicates NORMAL. If however the control and status panel shows WARNING or ALARM, a check of the installa tion via PC is possible after pressing the REQUEST RELEASE key to change from remote to local control.

Operation 3.4.8 Switching Off Operation and Maintenance
Use TX1 and/or TX2 at PMM-5 to switch off the transmitters individually. The STATION main switch is used as master switch to completely switch off the installation. Additionally the main switches DME or RL (Radio Link) can be used to switch off the power supply to associated installations of a DME or a Radio Link. NOTE: The LRCI (LCSU and modem) is also switched off via the STATION master switch, so that it cannot receive switch-on commands. The installation then has to be switched on manually .
If a PMM option is installed use the main switches TX1 and TX2 to switch off the installation. The indi cations on the control and status panel extinguish. NOTE: The LRCI (LCSU and modem) is neither switched off via the remote nor the local control interface, so that it can receive switch-on commands as long as any of the switches TX1 and TX2 are on.

Alignment Procedure 4.12 Operation and Maintenance
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MONITOR DISPLAY OF THE RF LEVEL AND THE POWER
The CSB output power is displayed by the monitor as the RF level. This display does not correspond to the direct power but is a voltage display. The power must be converted to a voltage in order to be able to set an alarm limit, e.g. 20 % power change. dB= 10 log P1/P2
V e.g. alarm limit for -20 % power change

dB dB dB dB =10 log P1/P2 ; P1 = 0.8 P2
=10 log 0.8 P2/P2 =10 log 0.8 =-0.9691
V e.g. alarm limit for +20 % power change

dB dB dB dB =10 log P1/P2 ; P1=1.2 P2
=10 log 1.2 P2/P2 =10 log 1.2 = 0.7918 (U is used instead of V) (U is according to the RF-level)
Conversion of power change to a voltage change dB= dB dB dB 10 log P1/P2 = = = ; P1= U12/R ; P2= U22/R
10 log (U12/R) / (U22/R) 10 log U12/U22 20 log U1/U2 log U1/U2 U1/U2

U2 x 10dB/20 and below formulae are combined the result is as follows:
If the above
U1=U2 x 100.5 log P1 / P2 The conversion yields the following relationship: U12/U22 = P1/P2
These formulae can be converted to determine the associated power change from the monitor display of the RF level. P 1= P2 x 102 log U1 / U2

Operation and Maintenance Maintenance
CHAPTER 5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL
There are two basic types of maintenance, namely periodic maintenance and normal maintenance. It is essential to ensure that the radiated signals remain within the fixed tolerances at all times after the navigation system has been handed over for service to air traffic. With this aim in mind, ICAO rec ommends verifying the most important signal parameters of the ground station within the framework of periodic maintenance. In AN 400, all the main parameters are maintained at the preset values throughout the entire life of the system by means of a microprocessor controlled transmitter, so that drift as a result of ageing should not normally occur. In addition, the radiated signals are checked by two high-precision microprocessor controlled monitors. These prevent fault signals from being emitted by either switching over to the standby transmitter or shutting down the system completely. Since, moreover, no parts which are subject to mechanical wear and tear are used, the periodic main tenance intervals can be made longer than usual and the number of measurements restricted to a minimum. Due to the measurement facilities which are integrated in the system, only a few external instruments are required. In addition to the periodic maintenance tasks, there are a few activities of normal maintenance which should be performed as and when necessary.
5.2
NOTE:
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The items marked with an asterisk (*) are normally performed continuously via a con nected RMMC.
We recommend performing the maintenance activities listed in the table below once every month or six months. The following measuring instruments are required for this: Personal Computer (Laptop or standard PC; used for maintenance on site) Headphones (600 ohms, 3,5 mm plug; for station identification) Portable field dipole RF terminating resistor (50 ohms, 1 W) Multimeter Battery maintenance equipment (acidimeter, acid syringe, areometer, thermometer, funnel).

Maintenance 5.2.1 Elimination of Static Charges Operation and Maintenance
A grounding strip with a large cross-sectional area is connected between the shelter grounding ter minal, the equipment racks and the worktable to act as the system ground and to eliminate electro static charges. It is firmly connected to the table and a grounding bus on the working surface. This system ground should not be connected to either the mains protective ground conductor or to hous ings and grounds of external consumers, i.e. consumers not associated with the worktable, except at the potential equalization bus for the overall installation. The protective ground wire offered with mains cable or plug connections is not suitable for potential equalization of equipment on a worktable. Depending on local circumstances, it can carry quite high RF interference voltages. Mains-supplied equipment, power supplies and test equipment should be connected via two-wire cables and twopin plugs. For measures to be taken with respect to components sensitive to electricostatic charging (MOS, Low Power Schottky) please refer to the customer service documentation of the manufacturer. If an em ployee is required to handle subassemblies for transport purposes, he should place both hands flat on a grounded surface beforehand (e.g. on the ground bus of the work table). The module can be picked up by its insulator immediately following this potential equalization. It is safer to avoid touching the terminals. Only remove short-circuit links where absolutely necessary. Place printed circuit boards only on tables with a conductive, grounded working surface. Leave individual subassemblies in the antistatic plastic bags for as long as possible.
5.2.2
Damage check
The following system parts have to be checked visually for entirety: shelter counterpoise antenna radomes monitor dipole, monitor mast and cable fence around the station tight fitting of all RF cable connections (internal and external).

Cleaning CAUTION
Cleaning aids, such as brushes and dusters, must be made of antistatic material. See also the instructions in Section 5.2.1.
- Shelter Brushes, dusters and a vacuum cleaner should be used to clean the transmitter rack and the rack for the battery-charged power supply. The transmitter room should not be cleaned with a broom, but rather using a vacuum cleaner. The floor should be washed regularly every 6 month. The deter gent should be added in small quantities only to the water; no aggressive cleaning agents should be used. Floor cleaning agents should be avoided, since these have the same effect as a dielectric and encourage the build-up of static charges.

Operation and Maintenance Maintenance
If the floor covering is made of a conductive material, then similarly only those cleaning agents ex pressly recommended by the manufacturer of the floor covering should be used. The air filters of the fans, ventilation openings or air conditioners in the shelter should be checked from time to time in accordance with the volume of dirt which accumulates at the particular location. The filters should be replaced by new ones before they become clogged. If no new filters are avail able, the dirt may - as an exceptional measure - be banged out of the old filter to permit the filter to be re-used. Damaged filters on the other hand, should not be re-used. If an air conditioner should become iced-up, switch it off and let it defrost. Observe the manufacturers maintenance recommendations. The separate battery compartment should be dusted out once a year. Avoid transferring dirt from the battery compartment into the transmitter room. - Transmitter rack Only two types of alcohol, namely Ethyl alcohol or Glycol,or clean water should be used to remove layers of dirt on the LCSU panel. Cleaning procedure: Set LCSU to ENGAGED by pressing RE QUEST RELEASE on the LCSU panel. Moisten a cloth with one of the liquids mentioned above and remove dirt. Reset keyboard to ENABLED by pressing REQUEST RELEASE again. Dusting of the subassemblies should only take place in conjunction with removal of a subassembly when this becomes necessary in any case for some other purpose. Even then, subassemblies should only be dusted if dust can be detected by means of a visual check. They should always be dusted using a soft brush, and if possible with the aid of a vacuum cleaner. During such operations it is essential to observe all precautionary measures described in Section 5.2.1 for voltage-sensitive semiconductors. - Antenna and counterpoise The counterpoise, the RF cables, the ground wires with connections, and the antenna (PALESIT seal) should be subjected to a visual check for corrosion and cracks at intervals to be determined in accordance with the particular climatic conditions. In case of a heavy snowfall, the snow should be removed from the counterpoise of the antenna. Air traffic control should be informed before the counterpoise is mounted.
5.2.4
Documentation of System Data
The data recorded during the flight test is the only data which is binding for operation of a navigation installation. It is advisable to check this data in accordance with the chart for periodic maintenance. A documentation is performed by the printer of the connected PC or in a file for the transmitter data and monitor data on the PC. The first data so-obtained of the basic adjustments of the alignment procedure at commissioning and flight check should be recorded and stored in a reference file or on a floppy disk. One hardcopy of the data should be completed with date and signature. The same pro cedure should be followed when performing further checks, when the data recorded can be com pared with the original flight check data.

Maintenance 5.3 5.3.1 NORMAL MAINTENANCE Replacing the Lithium Batteries (MSP-C, MSP-VD, LCSU/CSB) Operation and Maintenance
To back up data in the non volatile RAM in case of a voltage drop, the subassemblies MSG-C, MSP-VD and LCSU/CSB contain Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries have an extended life time. The battery voltage is checked by the BIT of the system. The individual batteries are soldered to the pc boards. The battery back up function is enabled via jumpers, set during first setup or before replacing the respective pc board. Always observe the label on the battery. The Lithium battery has to be re placed by the same battery type. Other types of lithium battery are not approved by ANS.
WARNING
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 C or incinerate the lithium cell. Do not short circuit, or solder directly on the cell. Disregard of the norms regarding the use of lithium batteries may cause risk of fire, explosion or leaking out of toxid liquid and gas. Run-down batteries are objects that can pollute the environment and must be disposed of with proper precautions.
CAUTION
Contents of the RAM will be lost when the jumper is opened which enables battery voltage to the RAM device. - Replacing Lithium battery: We recommend switching the transmitter whose Lithium batteries are to be replaced over to standby operation and then switching it off. The other transmitter will remain switched onto the an tenna. This will ensure that any interference resulting unintentionally from the replacement proce dure will not affect the radiated signal. A soldering iron with a grounded soldering tip should be used. A battery short-circuit via the soldering iron for the duration of soldering is unlikely to harm the relatively high-impedance battery, but should however be avoided wherever possible. The procedures is as follows: - Back up the data of the respective transmitter being serviced. - Draw out halfway concerned pc board. Remove jumper (X7 on MSG-C, X7 on MSP-VD, J21 on LCSU/CSB). Re-tin the soldering tags of the new battery in order to ensure a good soldered connection Unsolder the minus and plus pole of the old battery, and remove the battery from the pc board. Insert the new battery, and solder the minus and plus pole of the battery. If the rack supply voltage needs to be disconnected during the period when the batteries are unsoldered, the charge stored in the circuit capacitors will protect the RAM contents for approx. 30 s. If the information is lost however, all transmitter parameters must be reentered when the batteries have been resoldered.

Operation and Maintenance 5.3.2 5.3.2.1 Maintaining Emergency Battery Battery Voltage Maintenance
Measurement of the battery voltage is performed via the CSL and evaluated by the LCSU/CSB pro cessor. The voltage measured is that between the BAT1 or BAT2 terminals against GND (BAT0). The half voltage value should be exactly half the full value. Should unbalance occur, a fault is indicated. The deviation in the ratio of 2:1 for the half voltage measurement increases the further the aging pro cess of a cell is advanced. If the deviation from the ratio of 2:1 is minimal, the battery can be maintained in service, but should be kept under observation. If the deviation is greater (from as little as a few tenths of one volt), each cell must be measured under load in order to determine the weak cell. This should be replaced by a new cell as soon as possible. The battery half to be examined may be determined as follows.
Voltage ratio:
greater than 2:1 (e.g. 47: 23 V = 2.043:1) smaller than 2:1 (e.g. 47: 24 V = 1.958:1 )

Before replacing the battery or individual cells, always check: - Is the battery-charged power supply switched on ? - Switch off fuse switch F1 (50 A) in battery fuse box, if the BCPS is on.
5.3.3 5.3.3.1
Matching the Charging Voltage of BCPS Modules Reasons for Voltage Matching
The BCPS has a fixed voltage of 54 V3 % for parallel operation with lead batteries. It is not possible to vary the output voltage for operation with other types of battery, e.g. nickel cadmium batteries. An adjustment of 1 V is however possible on the front panel of the slide in units. This is intended for optimization of the trickle charge. The most important parameter for operation of lead batteries at the BCPS is the trickle charge voltage. This voltage is 2.23 V/cell 1% in accordance with VDE (registered society of german electrical engineers). In the interests of optimizing the charge ANS have utilized the upper tolerance limits and fixed the trickle charge voltage at 2.25 V/cell. This results in a trickle charge voltage of 54 V for a battery with a rated voltage of 48 V. Strictly speaking however this fixed trickle charge value of 54 V is only valid at a temperature of 20 C in the battery compartment. If the temperature rises above 20 C, it is necessary to reduce the voltage in order to maintain a sufficient difference with respect to the gassing voltage of 2.4 V cell. If the temperature falls below 20 C, it is necessary to increase the charging voltage in order to ensure optimum charging. The relationship between the temperature and the charging voltage is shown in the table below. It is valid for the types of battery proposed or provided by ANS. Please consult the manufacturer if using other types.

Maintenance Operation and Maintenance
The internal temperature in the battery compartment is subject to fluctuations dependent on the time of day and time of year. The considerable mass of the batteries and the associated high thermal inertia mean that temperature fluctuations dependent on the time of day are insignificant and can be ignored. It is necessary on the other hand to determine the average temperature in the battery compartment during the hot and cold seasons or to estimate it on the basis of experience. The optimum charging voltage can be read off from the table when the average temperature has been calculated. It is not necessary in moderate climatic zones to take seasonal fluctuations into account. If the batter ies are accommodated inside a shelter or a building, the fluctuations between summer and winter are not very great, and the mean temperature will not deviate substantially from 20 C. In such cases it is not necessary to optimize the trickle charge voltage as described here. This only becomes neces sary if the batteries are installed outside the shelter or in hot or cold zones without an air-conditioned battery compartment. If the mean annual temperature is known during the installation phase, adjustments can be carried out by the ANS installation team. Otherwise they should be carried out by the customer's own mainte nance personnel as follows.
5.3.3.2
NOTE:
Matching the Voltage

This procedure is performed once during installation or if other battery types are used.
The battery must be connected. Switch off the transmitters. Using the switches on the front panel switch off the ACC units except the outer left one, which has to be adjusted first. Beginning with left ACC unit adjust the ACC units as follows: - Connect a digital voltmeter to the test jacks on the front panel of the switched on ACC unit. - Set the desired voltage carefully at the potentiometer on the front panel with the aid of a calibration screwdriver. It should be possible to obtain the value specified in the table in 5.3.3.1 to within a tolerance of 0.2 V. - Switch off the adjusted ACC unit. - Switch on the next ACC unit and adjust it in the same way. - Adjust all installed ACC units in the same way. When all units have been set in this way measurements should be performed as follows: - Disconnect the battery. - Perform measurements between +BAT and -BAT on the BCPS terminal plate using a digital voltmeter: First measurement : Transmitter off, BCPS without load Second measurement : Transmitter on, BCPS with load The values should not deviate from the set value by more than 1 %. If the deviation is greater, the relevant module can be determined by deactivating the power units individually and observing the voltage change. The voltage of this unit must then be corrected upwards or downwards. The BCPS is then ready for service.

STARTUP , CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE LEAD BATTERY Startup Specifications for the Lead Battery in Navigation Installations General
For countries in Europe, the sets of lead batteries in the navigation installations are normally supplied already filled and charged by the manufacturer. On site the batteries then merely need to be installed and connected to the power supply unit of the navigation installation. Batteries supplied in a nonfilled state to their point of installation must be set up, filled and charged there in accordance with the manufacturers handling specifications. The batteries can be supplied non-filled in either a dry precharged state, or a non pre-charged state (see 5.4.1.3.2 and 5.4.1.3.3). The battery may not be re moved from its transport packing until immediately prior to startup.
CAUTION
Maintenance-free batteries have to be set into operation within half a year after delivery to prevent drawback in the battery lifetime The startup procedure comprises the following stages: a) Installation on site, interconnection of the cells with the cell connectors and connection to the electrical installation; b) Filling with accumulator acid; c) Immediate subsequent charging or activation of the plates (see 5.4.1.3) d) Immediate subsequent activation in standby parallel mode. These instructions do not cover the installation work, but instead deal merely with filling and activation using tools which, even in remote areas, are either available or easily obtainable. They moreover ap ply only to batteries for which a rated acid density of 1.24 kg/l is specified by the manufacturer, e.g. Gro E, iron-clad and block batteries, and not to starter batteries or batteries with a fixed electrolyte. The aids required are as follows: Accumulator acid The acid must have a particular density. If this value is incorrect, the mixture should be made up of high-density sulphuric acid and specially purified wa ter (see 5.4.1.2.2).

Diluted sulphuric acid and specially purified water are used for filling and topping up lead batteries. The regulations specified in VDE 0510 (regulations for accumulators and battery installations), ac cording to which no components which may be harmful to the plates may be used, must be con formed with. Particularly harmful substances are chlorine, which is present both in the water and in the acid, and iron which is sometimes contained in the acid. These impurities can however easily be evidenced. Only specially purified water, i.e. water which has been distilled or fully desalted, may be used. It must moreover be clear, colorless and odorless
CAUTION
Boiled water, rainwater, well water, river water, tap water or condensation from machines, heating systems etc. are unsuitable. The sulphuric acid and the water should be kept in glass or plastic containers, which must be sealed and covered carefully. Dust and vapors which penetrate may contaminate originally pure liquids.
5.4.1.2.2
Mixing Sulphuric Acid
If the accumulator acid does not have a specified density, specially purified water should be mixed with a high-density acid (mixed acid) in order to obtain the values shown in the chart (Fig. 5-1).

Example for mixing accumulator acid: 100 l accumulator acid with a density of 1.24 kg/l is required. The mixing acid available has a density of 1.71 kg/l. The intersection A on the right-hand side of the chart (Fig. 5-1) is obtained as follows: The slope 1.71 (density of mixed acid) intersects the vertical 1.24 (nominal density of accumulator acid). The horizontal through point A intersects the slope at 72 l (specified purified water) and the verti cal at 31 l (quantity of mixed acid) in the left-hand section of the chart.

Relationship between the Acid Density and the Temperature
The nominal acid density of fixed batteries is valid at an acid temperature of 20 C. If the temperature increases the density will be reduced by 0.0007 kg/l per C; if the temperature falls it will be increased accordingly. Thus if the temperature rises by 15 C the density will be reduced by approx 0.01 kg/l; if the temperature falls by 15 C the density will be increased by approx. 0.01 kg/l. The chart (Fig. 5-2) shows the acid densities for various temperatures in relation to a temperature of +20 C.

Maintenance 5.4.1.2.4 Basic Rules for Handling Batteries Operation and Maintenance
A few basic rules listed below should be observed when handling batteries:
WARNING
It is forbidden to use naked flames or incandescent bodies in the vicinity of accumulators. This is particularly dangerous during the charging procedure, since oxyhydrogen gas is produced when the gassing level of the accumulator acid. Caution should be observed when opening the inspection plugs. On no account should salt crystals or other foreign bodies be allowed to get into the acid is reached. Caution should be observed when topping up with specially purified water and when mea suring the acid density. Remove splashes of liquid, or conductive layers might form, allow ing creepage. Seal the inspection plugs again. Maintenance-free batteries need not to be refilled. No acid density check is necessary. Caution should be observed when mixing high-density acid with water. The acid should be added to the water in a thin stream whilst stirring with a clean wooden rod. If water is added to the acid, the latter will splash dangerously. Splashes of acid should be neutralized and salts removed using a lukewarm soda solu tion (100 g soda to 1 l water). Care should be taken to ensure that no soda solution gets into the cells. After treating with the soda solution, clean with clear water and wipe dry. Sufficient ventilation should be provided for the battery compartment. The acid vapors are aggressive; be careful of clothing. Specially marked and stored test leads should be used for battery measurements on ac count of the acid residues which may be present. The following points should be observed in order to prevent false acid density measurements with the areometer: a) The areometer float should not stick to the side or hit the top, and should always be clean. b) When the battery is charged or discharged a period of about 30 minutes should be waited before commencing measurements in order to allow time for the acid density between and above the plates to become uniform. c) If specially purified water is used for topping up, no measurements should be performed for the next few hours. d) If the temperature should deviate substantially from the reference temperature of +20 _C, this should be taken into consideration when performing measurements (the density decreases with higher temperatures and increases with lower temperatures).

Operation and Maintenance 5.4.1.2.5 Filling the Batteries with Acid Maintenance
A particular quantity of accumulator acid is required for each battery type. This quantity is specified by the manufacturer or is defined by the cell levels (acid level indicator or max. marking on the cell box). The tolerance of the accumulator acid density is 0.01 kg/l.The acid temperature should not exceed +35 _C, since heat is developed internally following filling, and higher acid temperatures may cause the maximum permitted battery temperature to be exceeded. In hot climates with the associated high ambient temperatures it is particularly difficult to cool down the batteries during the day. We therefore recommend slowly filling the batteries half full in such re gions, then filling them right up the next day after they have cooled down during the night. NOTE: The battery should not be removed from its transport packaging until immediately prior to startup (see also Section 5.4.1.1).
5.4.1.3
Startup
Initial charging or activation.
5.4.1.3.1
General
The initial charging fully activates the plates, and for this special rules and data apply which deviate from the standard values for battery operation and charging procedures. If the initial charging proce dure is not performed in accordance with the specifications, the plates will only be partly activated; coarse sulphates will be produced, and the batteries will not reach their full capacity. Such damage can only sometimes be eliminated by means of a time-consuming desulphating procedure. As mentioned above in 5.4.1.1, the batteries may be supplied non-filled in either a dry pre-charged state, or a non pre-charged state. This is not apparent externally except from the color of the plates. The positive plate of activated batteries has a brown coloring (Pb O2), whilst the negative plate is light grey (Pb).
5.4.1.3.2
Dry Pre-charged Batteries
Dry pre-charged batteries are activated by the manufacturer. They can be started up simply by filling the battery with accumulator acid of the specified acid density. The battery can then be operated in the navigation installation without any further delay. This however applies only to brand new batteries, since these batteries are extremely sensitive to climatic conditions.If dry pre-charged batteries are stored for some time without being filled with acid, the plates will gradually become deactivated. This process is accelerated in a moist or warm environment.They will be completely deactivated after about 6 months, and the battery must be treated and started up in almost the same way as a non-acti vated battery. The initial charging procedure will take more or less time depending on the storage peri od and the state of the plates.
5.4.1.3.3
Non Pre-charged Batteries
These batteries have the longest initial charging period. They can be recognized by the fact that the acid density drops substantially 1 to 2 hours after filling (density <1.15 kg/l), and/or the acid tempera ture rises by a few degrees.
Ed.1 12.99
5-11
VOR 431
Maintenance 5.4.1.3.4 Initial Charging WARNING
There is a particular risk during the charging procedure, since oxyhydrogen gas develops in the gassing level of the battery acid is reached. It is therefore forbidden to use naked flames or incandescent bodies in the vicinity of accumulators. Sufficient ventilation should be provided for the battery compartment. The acid vapors are aggressive, therefore care should be taken of clothing. The battery manufacturers specify various methods with settings and nominal data. The appropriate instructions are contained in the handling specifications accompanying with each battery. A constant current charge (I-characteristic) is used for the battery charged power supply in the navigation instal lation. Two test shunts, which generate a voltage drop of 2 mV/A, are installed in the BCPS. Current measurements can thus be performed via the software. The acid density and temperature must be measured and noted once an hour during the charging procedure at every 6th or 3rd cell (test cells). The same applies to the battery voltage, which should be measured at the battery poles. For voltage measurements see Chapter 5.4.1.1 ).The duration of the charging procedure depends on the state of the plates, and should be at least 6 hours.The crucial factor for determining the end of the charging procedure is that the battery voltage and the acid densi ty no longer rise over a test interval of 2 hours, and that the nominal values have been reached.If the acid density and the battery voltage do not reach their nominalvalues despite absolute conformance with the charging specifications, the charging procedure must be continued with the same charging data for a further 10 hours. If the acid density still does not reach its nominal value, the acid density must be adjusted. If the density is too low, higher-density acid (mixed acid) must be added. If the acid density is too high, specially purified water must be used for topping up. The temperature and acid level must be taken into consideration when measuring the density, in other words the nominal acid density is valid when the acid level indicator is at max. If water is lost during the charging procedure on account of gassing, the acid must be topped up with specially purified water. If it is necessary to correct the acid density or acid level, the battery must be topped up beforehand with specially purified water. If it is necessary to correct the acid density or acid level, the battery must be charged again with the same charging values for approx. 1 hour in order to make sure the acid is properly mixed. This is ensured by means of the gassing which results.The acid temperature must be monitored during the charging procedure. This is particularly important in case of high ambient temperatures. The acid temperature may not exceed 55 C. If a temperature of 50 C is reached, a cooling period should be allowed until the temperature has dropped to 35 C again. The battery is ready for service when the nominal values have been reached and each cell has the correct acid level (max. marking of acid level indicator). Finally the outside of the battery should be cleaned with water to remove acid and dirt. The battery should then be installed immediately in the navigation installation, and operated in standby parallel mode. This procedure ensures that the bat tery is always charged, but that it is not operated close to the gassing level. The charge characteristic of the BCPS (current/voltage characteristic or I-U characteristic) ensures that the limit values speci fied by the battery manufacturer are conformed with, including subsequently charging and discharg ing operation. No further measures are necessary. NOTE: Each battery cell/battery must have the same charge or discharge state on account of the series connection.
The following table summarizes the procedure.

Unscrew inspection plugs, but leave over the hole in order to prevent contamination whilst allowing gas to escape. The density provides information on the state of plates. Densities less than 1.15 kg/l mean that the battery has been stored for a long time or is not pre-charged. A higher charging current can be used in such cases. The acid density and battery voltage should be measured every 1 or 2 hours. Note the values and compare with previous measurements and nominal values. When the nominal values are reached, stop charging and continue at No. 5 in this table. With purified water.

Maintenance 5.4.2.1.1 Keeping the Lead Battery Clean Operation and Maintenance
The battery box with batteries, boxes, terminals and connections should be kept clean and dry. When performing the regular check pay special attention to the poles and cell connections, since these are particularly subject to acid aggression and susceptible to the formation of salt crystals, especially at the plus-pole. The poles and cell connections should be greased slightly with an acid-resistant Vaseline following cleaning.
5.4.2.1.2
Measuring the Acid Density (not for maintenance-free batteries)
The acid density should be measured using the areometer. False measurements can be avoided by observing the rules see 5.4.1.2.4. The density of accumulator acid is 1.24 0.01 kg/l at 20 _C when the battery is charged. If the temperature deviates substantially from the reference temperature of 20 _C, this should be taken into account when measurements are performed.
5.4.2.1.3
Topping Up the Cells (not for maintenance-free batteries)
The cells should be topped up in good time with specially purified water. A visual check of the cells should be done approx. every 2 to 3 month. An acid level indicator with two markings 10 mm apart is incorporated in one of the cells for determining the nominal acid level. If this indicator is missing, the cells should be topped up to 15 mm above the top of the plates. It is not always possible to obtain specially purified or desalinated water of the required quality at the point of installation. In countries where the water quality is inadequate the specially purified or fully desalinated water in stock should be checked before use in accordance with the handling specifications of the battery manufacturer (test chemicals supplied if required). If the purified water does not meet the specifications, it must be post-treated (ion exchanger or distilling apparatus - supplied on request) or suitable water must be obtained.
CAUTION
The battery guarantee is only valid if the accumulator acid and water have the necessary degree of purity.
5.4.2.1.4
Measuring the Cell Voltage
The nominal voltage of the lead cells has been fixed at 2.0 V. The no-load voltage is 2.04 to 2.1 V depending on the acid density. The discharge voltage is dependent on the discharge current. The higher the discharge current, the lower will be the cell voltage and vice versa. Under normal oper ating conditions with trickle charging the cell voltage is 2.25 V. In case of a failure or disconnection of the 220 or 115 V mains voltage resulting in discharging of the batteries, the cell voltage will be 2.1...1.75 V after about 5 minutes up to disconnection of the PMM. The cell voltage should not fall below 1.75 V during discharging. This is ensured by the supervision of the (D)VOR installation. The cell voltage can be measured either as described in 5.4.1.1 or using a multimeter. Only special test leads provided exclusively for battery measurements should be used, however, due to the acid resi dues which may be present at the battery poles. It is sufficient to check the voltage of all cells under charging current every 2 to 3 months.

You should print out all settings, BITE values and monitor values of the transmitter, the monitor and LCSU/CSB on the finally set system that has reached operating temperature. This data consists of the reference values, a knowledge of which will substantially facilitate troubleshooting. These values are assumed for the following troubleshooting procedure. If HF modules are replaced, the printout should be updated because HF modules have greater tolerances. This log of the ACTUAL state is a basis for the troubleshooting procedure. NOTE: Both SB1, SB2 and SBA, SBB are used as term for sideband signals in (D)VOR systems. SBA, SBB are used normally for VOR (signals to dipole A or B), the terms SB1, SB2 are generally used in other AN400 systems.
6.1.2
Fault Evaluation with PC and WIN ADRACS
Any fault is stored in the system memory, which occurs in the installation and is acknowledged by the internal BIT and which leads to a WARNING or ALARM indication. Fault location in AN 400 can be performed by use of the BIT report in the WIN ADRACS program. This report is available in the configuration menu of the WIN ADRACS program: - Move mouse cursor to field TRANSMITTER or MONITOR or LCSU/CSB, a cursor more appears. - Click twice for more information about transmitter or monitor or LCSU/CSB. The ensuing BIT re sults are displayed and can be interpreted or printed out.
6.1.3
Fault Location Support VOR (<30 W and up to 100 W)
In addition to the BIT fault report ( see 6.1.2), the following fault location tables list typical faults, which may occur in a VOR installation. The tables contain 5 columns: Step, Fault, A to C. To execute fault location in the following tables, start with left column and proceed to the right following A, B or C, and then from next row in A to C, if necessary.
6.1.3.1
Power Supply and Module Indicators
The BIT fault report (see 6.1.2) indicates faulty operating voltages, so that the defective module (AC/DC converter or DC/DC converter) can be defined and replaced. Before replacing the AC/DC converters, check mains power supply. Before locating a fault, try to define roughly the defective func tional group, i.e. power supply, transmitter, antenna , monitor or LCSU/CSB. A first localization is done by evaluating the LED indicators on the various modules (see Figs. 3-2, 3-3):

Operation and Maintenance 6.2 6.2.1 REPAIRS General Repairs
The repair activities are designed to restore the ready condition of a faulty system in the shortest possible time. The system is repaired by replacing the defective subassembly. The defective subas semblies can then be sent to the manufacturer for repair. NOTE: Subassemblies and components which are sent to the manufacturer for repair or returns must be packed in a way that no damage of the parts could arise. It is recommended to use the original packing, e.g. of the spare part, or a comparable packing in corresponding performance to ensure a safe shipping of defective subassemblies or components. Handling of subassemblies with electrostatically sensitive components see section 6.2.1.1.3.
6.2.1.1 6.2.1.1.1
Safety Precautions General Regulations
The safety regulations laid down by the local authorities (e.g. concerning accident prevention, work safety or operation of electronic equipment and navigation systems) must be observed at all times. The purpose of safety precautions is to protect persons and property, and they must always be heed ed. See also Part 1, Section 1.4. Work should not be carried out outside the shelter or on the antenna system during a storm, due to the danger of injury by lightning. Station shutdown due to repair and maintenance: The responsible authorities must be notified of any work which may require operation of the system to be interrupted, in accordance with national regula tions.
6.2.1.1.2
Work on the Equipment WARNING
In order to avoid risks to persons and consequential damage to subassemblies, the relevant trans mitter must be switched off with switch TX1 or TX2 prior to removing or inserting a subassembly or prior to removing a plug-in connector during the course of repair and maintenance activities (see Section 6.2.3.1 for exceptions). Switches TX1 and TX2 deactivate the DC converters for the trans mitter 1 and transmitter 2 subassemblies respectively. The subassemblies which are common to both transmitters are exceptions: they cannot be switched on and off with either TX1 or TX2. The battery-charged power supply (BCPS) must always be disconnected from the mains before any work, other than measuring the voltage is carried out on it. RF cables must not be bent to a radius of less than 50 mm.
6.2.1.1.3
Handling Electrostatically Sensitive Subassemblies
The ILS and (D)VOR installations contain subassemblies (plug-in cards) equipped with components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. When replacing subassemblies and plug-in cards containing electrostatically sensitive components, special precautionary measures should be taken during removal, transport and installation in order to prevent damage to the components. We refer to the customer documentation of the manufacturer. Subassemblies which contain electrostatically sensitive components are marked with this symbol.

Repairs Operation and Maintenance
If any of the maintenance personnel need to touch one of these subassemblies, they should place both hands flat on a grounded conductive surface for a few seconds to eliminate static charges. The subassembly can be touched - preferably at an insulator (board edge, lever mechanism, etc.) - as soon as the potential has been equalized in this manner. It is advisable to avoid touching the contacts of the plug-in connectors, the conductor paths and the components themselves. Some of the subas semblies must be left in their antistatic packaging or plastic bags as long as possible. The special procedures described below should be followed when subassemblies and plug-in boards are replaced within the framework of repair and maintenance activities, due to the risk of damage to elec trostatically sensitive components. To remove a subassembly: - Switch off the system before beginning the replacement procedure. - Eliminate any static body charges by touching the frame of the grounded system (rack) with both hands. - Remove the subassembly and lay it down on a bench with a grounded conductive worktop. - Pack the subassembly in an antistatic plastic bag and send it off to the manufacturer for repair. To install a subassembly: - Eliminate any static body charges by touching the frame of the grounded system (rack) with both hands. - Remove the subassembly from the antistatic plastic bag. - Install the subassembly. - Switch on the system again.
6.2.1.1.4
Components Containing Beryllium Oxide Ceramics
Some of the subassemblies are equipped with transistors containing beryllium oxide. These transis tors are in line with the latest state of the art and are in use all over the world. They are absolutely harm less in a sealed, compact condition. Beryllium oxide dust, which is detrimental to health, may however be produced if the transistors are opened. They should not be dismantled or shattered. This applies likewise if they are scrapped or disposed of. The following subassemblies contain power transistors with beryllium oxide: - Modulator 110 Modulator 110P - CA-100C : Transistor types BLF242, BLF 245 : Transistor types BLF244, BLF 246 : Transistor type BLF248

Operation and Maintenance 6.2.2 Correcting a Processor Standstill Repairs
A processor standstill may result when subassemblies are removed under voltage or on account of static charges which are discharged from the operators to the rack. This condition is always the result of an operator error. It is therefore advisable to pinpoint the causes as soon as it happens. There are in fact only four possible causes, though these may occur in combination. Insufficient grounding of the rack Unsuitable and/or incorrectly cleaned floor covering Non-observance of clothing regulations by personnel Carelessness of the personnel due to inadequate information.
Any causes determined should be remedied immediately by means of appropriate measures: the symptom will not then recur. A distinction should be made in case of a processor standstill between a failure in the keyboard processor and a failure in the equipment central processing unit. Both the behavior of the system and the measures to be taken are different.
6.2.2.1
Failure in the Monitor Processor
See Fig. 6-1. The LCSU shows MON1 FAULTY or MON2 FAULTY due to to the failed processor. If both monitors fail, the transmitter will be shut down. Remedy: Open front door of the rack. CPU live lamp on the MSP must be lit. If live lamp is off, press reset button on MSP . Close door again. Perform login and enter password if more commands must be entered, otherwise this step may be ignored.
The installation is then fully operational again.
6.2.2.2
Failure in the Transmitter Processor
See Fig. 6-1. If lamps light up on the system in a manner which has no meaning and cannot be interpreted, then go out again after a short time, then the processor has fallen out of synchronism temporarily on account of an interference pulse, but has been able to recover. If this symptom is encountered repeat edly, the causes should be determined. If the transmitter fails on account of a processor standstill, this is displayed by means of TX1 or TX2 WARNING on the LCSU. Remedy: Open front door of the rack. CPU live lamp on the MSG-C must be lit. If live lamp is off, press reset button on MSG-C. Close door again. Perform login and enter password if more commands must be entered, otherwise this step may be ignored.
The installation is then fully operational again.

Operation and Maintenance 6.2.3 Replacing Subassemblies WARNING
The heat sinks of the modulators (MOD-110P) and of the carrier amplifier (CA-100C) may warm up during operation. This is normal and does not affect the function. When re placing these subassemblies it is recommended to let them cool down for a while or take suitable measures (e.g. gloves). When replacing the subassemblies SYN und CCP avoid touching the heat sinks of the MOD-110P .
Repairs
6.2.3.1
Disconnecting the Voltage before Replacing Subassemblies CAUTION
The voltage must always be disconnected before removing or installing subassemblies (subject to only a very few exceptions). It is sufficient to switch off all the transmitter subas semblies, the DCC-MV and the DCC-28 with either of switches TX1 or TX2 on the PMM subassembly. The transmitter subassemblies can also be switched off by means of a PC command. Before replacing an ACC-module the BCPS must always be disconnected from the mains. If a monitor subassembly is affected (MSP-VD), the associated DCC subassemblies must be removed. It is not necessary to switch them off beforehand with both TX1 and TX2 on the PMM. If the CSL must be changed, both TX1 and TX2 must be switched off beforehand. The VAM, MODEM and the DCC-05 subassemblies may be removed and installed when live. The special design of their contacts prevents damage from occurring.
6.2.3.2
Subassemblies in the Transmitter Rack and Power Supply
The table below lists the work which may be necessary after a subassembly has been replaced. Please also refer to Section 6.2.1.1. a) The relevant transmitter must be de-energized before removing or installing subassemblies, pref erably by switching it off on the PMM subassembly. It should be noted that the following subassem blies are only de-energized if both power supply switches on the PMM are switched off: LCSU DCC-05 CSL MSP-VD VAM ASU complete (DVOR only) b) Several of the subassemblies have DIP-FIX switches or jumpers on their pc boards. It is essential to check that the switches or jumpers on the new subassemblies are set to the same positions as on the old subassemblies. Section 6.2.4 contains a list of the DIP-FIX switches and jumpers. c) Check that all the RF cables have been connected correctly before switching the transmitter on again, and make sure that either the antenna or a dummy load is connected to the transmitter output signals (CSB, SB1, SB2). d) All subassemblies in the assembly carrier have plug-in RF connections.

Replacing EPROM
Before starting it is recommend to read out all parameters of the installation: Use command Download Parameters or make a printout of all parameters or write down manually the indicated parameters if other measures are not possible. It is also recommended to generate a copy of the specific site files as backup: - In the PC User Program, click the control button in the main status window. - Select File Transfer and Copy site file to PC in the submenu. Copy all files with the extension:*.sit, *.oio, *.msk, *.ptt.
The EPROM should always be replaced by qualified personnel only. The following subassemblies contain EPROM which may need to be replaced: MSG-C, MSP , CSL (test generator), LCSU/CSB. The locations are shown in Section 6.2.4.
CAUTION
Since the EPROM are electrostatically sensitive components, the following safety precau tions must always be observed (see also Section 6.2.1.1.3): The person replacing the EPROM should preferably not wear shoes with rubber or plastic soles, and should first eliminate any static charges by touching the transmitter rack with both hands. a) Switch off both transmitters: set the TX1 and TX2 switches on the PMM/PMM-5 to OFF. b) Release the MSG-C resp. MSP or CSL with the lever mechanism and remove it from the slide-in chassis in the rack. Lay the subassembly down on an electronically conductive surface (e.g. on the special packaging provided). EPROM of the LCSU/CSB can be replaced without disassem bling: open the front door of cabinet. c) Remove the EPROM: Identify the EPROM to be replaced by means of its inscription and note its orientation (notch on one of the narrow sides). Lever the EPROM slowly out of the base by carefully applying a flat, pointed object (e.g. a screwdriver) to the narrow sides alternately. d) Fit the new EPROM: Fit the new EPROM into the empty base in the same position. If the EPROM is swapped from one unit to another, determine the correct orientation by comparing the two units. Before fitting the EPROM, check that all the pins are aligned exactly. Press the two rows of pins into the base one at a time. e) Reinstall the MSG-C resp. MSP or CSL and lock it in position. f) Execute the following checks after switching on the transmitter again: - the live LED must light up (MSG-C, MSP , LCSU/CSB) - create new EPROM checksum for monitor 1 and 2 (refer to 6.2.3.2.2. - all the transmitter and monitor settings must correspond to test reports.
6.2.3.2.2

Operation and Maintenance 6.2.4 6.2.4.1 List of DIP-FIX-Switches and Jumpers General Repairs
Some of the subassemblies have DIP-FIX switches or jumpers on the component side. The jumpers act either as on/off switches or as changeover switches. The DIP-FIX switches and jumpers can be set or placed to particular positions in order to adapt universal subassemblies to specific equipment types. Other switches or jumpers must be actuated for test and maintenance purposes, or in case of interconnection with a DME. Under normal climatic conditions it is not necessary to solder the DIP-FIX switches in their limit positions. NOTE: Before installing a spare subassembly check and correct if necessary position of the DIPFIX switches and jumpers.
