5.1 Basic Maintenance Program
It is important to understand that even though a LED fixture requires substantially lower maintenance in regard to the
replacement of the light bulbs, some parts of the light fixture remain the same and still require the same level of maintenance
(prisms, top cover, bolts).
There are recommended maintenance tasks to ensure that the equipment is in correct operating condition.
Maintenance tasks
Weekly
•
Visual inspection of the light fixture.
•
Removal of dust from external surfaces of the light fixture.
Monthly
•
Check optical window for cleanliness, mechanical damage or moisture/condensation on the inside of the prism
•
Check for improper torque on mounting bolts. Re-torque if needed.
Yearly
•
Detailed inspection of the light fixture
•
Check of the body resistance, check for mechanical damage (for example cracks around the prism windows).
•
Clean optical windows
Bi-yearly
•
Check for presence of water in mounting support by unscrewing and lifting light fixture from base and check for
water ingress and corrosion. Replace gasket between light fixture and base.
After snow
removal
•
Check for damaged light fixtures. Any damaged light fixtures should be replaced and brought in and properly
investigated and repaired.
A daily function check is referred to in the document:
ICAO, Airport Services Manual Part 9, Airport Maintenance Practice and FAA AC 150/5340-26A, Maintenance of airport visual
aids facilities.
Any issues found during maintenance tasks should be corrected accordingly and properly documented.
A proper asset management system such as ADB Safegate's ALIS can help to store/document data and can provide valuable
information on local presiding conditions for preventive maintenance planning. This can then be used to minimize the need
for reactive maintenance.
ALIS, ADB Safegate's new digital asset tracking, inspection and service solution, helps airports easily register airside assets,
electronically schedule and track maintenance, and record maintenance and inspection tasks in compliance with ICAO and
FAA standards.
