13. Maintenance, Inspection and Repair Advice
No special maintenance program is required for the ASM, (optional) CAM/SAM/RSMs, or frequency banded Couplers.
Firmware upgrades may periodically be made available and may be uploaded into the ASM if desired using the Firmware
Upgrade feature within the GUI. Automated firmware upgrades (and communications connectivity checks) to a fleet of
ASMs can be managed using the RFI Uploader software package.
Example RFI Uploader software screen
Checking that the 7/16DIN (M) RF connectors on the feeder cables from the combiner and to the antenna are correctly
torqued (as per manufacturers recommendations) onto the corresponding Coupler termination connectors is considered
good practice. Checking all N Male termination connectors on the RF coaxial connectors on both the ASM and Coupler/s is
also recommended.
All other DB15 and/or Phoenix connectors must be firmly located and pushed into their corresponding mating sockets, with
fastening screws tightened securely.
Neither the ASM, optional CAM/SAM/RSMs, or the Coupler(s), are considered field repairable. Should it be considered that any
unit may be faulty through diagnosis, it should be replaced or returned to RFI for repair.
