7  MAINTENANCE 
7.1  VISUAL INSPECTION 
 
Due to the critical nature of perimeter surveillance applications, it is of paramount importance to keep 
the radar units trouble-free by routinely conducting visual verifications. The visual verification must 
check the following: 
•  Verify that the radome is clear from any obstruction such as trees or branches or any natural 
formation of dirt, grime or bird deposits. Such formations may attenuate radar signals. In order 
to clean the radome, see directions below (Section 7.3).
