Maintenance Overview
2.1.1 Summary
There are two types of Maintenance defined in the PASOLINK/ PASOLINK+ system, namely, preventive (periodic) maintenance and corrective maintenance. The customer is recommended to perform preventive maintenance according to the instruction in Chapter 3 Preventive Maintenance of this manual. Upon discovery of fault in the system, the customer should follow the corrective maintenance procedures detailed in Chapter 4 Corrective Maintenance of this document.
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. Caution: To protect the internal circuits against electrostatic discharge, engineers are requested to wear the wristband and connect it to the frame ground for Electrostatic Protection (ESP) before detaching the top cover. (a) Before beginning maintenance, notify the opposite station that maintenance is about to begin. (b) After equipment starts-up, allow the equipment to warm up for at least 30 minutes. (c) During maintenance, set the IDU to maintenance mode using a PNMT according to the user manual. (d) After completing the maintenance operation, restore all connections to normal.
2.1.3
Test Equipment
The test equipment and special accessories described in Table A are required for system maintenance. If recommended test equipment and accessories are not available, equivalents may be used.

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. Note: A copy of Site Inventory Data Record sheet is provided in Appendix B.
NEC Corporation
3.2.2
Aerial Equipment
1. At first perform visual inspection. Visually inspect antenna and associated mounting structures and Hybrid Combiner (if applicable) for surface damage or abnormal appearance. 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). Note that more than 70 microns is roughly amount to one (1) or two (2) times of paint brushing, or two (2) or three (3) times of paint spraying.

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.
4.1
Corrective Maintenance Procedures

Radio Equipment
1. Confirmation of alarm and / or malfunction a) Confirmation of alarms, which are identified through: Red alarm LED indication on the IDU or Notification from external equipment During alarm conditions, red alarm LEDs on the IDU are lit except when there is a power supply failure. Faults can be isolated using the LED indications. Table C-l provides information for isolating faults at a station.

b) Confirmation of malfunction using PNMS or PNMT. 2. Identify faulty equipment by observing PNMS and/or alarm indication on IDU, identify the station and equipment where alarm and/or malfunction occurred. 3. Prepare necessary test equipment and accessories, PC and connection cable and Spare Equipment for replacement. 4. Pinpoint the fault equipment as follows. a) Check individual alarm and status condition of ODU/IDU by using the PNMT. Refer to the PNMT user's manual for detailed procedure for monitoring. b) Pinpoint the origin of fault with help of the instruction manual of the equipment. c) If alarm and/or malfunction is due to equipment, go to next step.
