TROUBLESHOOTING

unclarity of the optical path. Also external conditions or the following
replaceable subassemblies may be the source of problems:
- CLE321 Ceilometer Engine Board
- CLT321 Ceilometer Transmitter
- CLR321 Ceilometer Receiver

- CLB311-115/230 Blower

If damage is suspected in a subassembly or a board, replace it with a
spare part and send the defective part to Vaisala for repair/replacement.

Replacements must only be performed by qualified maintenance
personnel, and they must be done according to the instructions in Chapter
