GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides the maintainer with all technical information required to support Level II maintenance as
described in Paragraph 1.3.2.
The overall intent of this manual is to help the maintainer expedite repair of the unit in a reasonable amount of time,
resulting in reduced downtime and increased system availability. Detailed information that will be useful to the
maintainer is provided in the following areas:
• Installation
• Configuration
• Equipment specifications
• Fault isolation and repair techniques
• Required tools and test equipment
• Functional descriptions at the system level
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All safety precautions necessary for the protection of personnel and the equipment are cross-referenced here. The
WARNING or CAUTION is referenced to the paragraph number where it is used in the manual, and a brief subject
phrase indicating the content is provided. It is recommended that these items be read in their entirety before
performing the referenced procedure. References are as follows:
• WARNING - Paragraph 2.2.1.1 - Inadequate or defective grounding presents a personnel hazard that could
result in injury or death.
• CAUTION - Paragraph 2.2.1.1 - Inadequate or defective grounding could damage the equipment.
• CAUTION - Paragraph 2.2.1.3 - Inadequate or defective grounding could damage the equipment.
1.3 MAINTENANCE LEVELS
Harris/RF Communications designs its products and systems to be supported by up to four maintenance levels. See
Figure 1-2. Each maintenance level relies on a defined set of support documentation and equipment in order to fulfill
its maintenance tasks. The tasks performed at each level grow in complexity as fault isolation is narrowed to the
component causing the fault. This concept assists the maintainer by supplying only the information and materials
required for that maintenance level. These levels may be combined to sustain any particular user maintenance
philosophy. The four maintenance levels are described in Paragraph 1.3.1 through Paragraph 1.3.4.
1.3.1 Level I
This level is restricted to fault recognition and detection. Fault isolation is not usually performed at this level. An
operator who detects a faulty condition alerts Maintenance Level II for repair.
