Time Out

After a loopback or pattern test is initiated, unless termi-
nated manually, a time out returns the loop to normal 
operation after 20 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, or 
24 hours. The timer is reset at any point by sending the 
FEAC loop up code. The test time out can be disabled 
through the RS-232 craft interface.

NOTE

When conducting a terminal session always 
select VT100 mode in the 

Settings

 menu prior 

to making the RS-232 craft interface 
connection.

6. MAINTENANCE

The NIU3 PM does not require maintenance for normal 
operation. ADTRAN does not recommend field repairs. 
For repair services, refer to 

Warranty and Customer 

Service

.

Relay Replacement

A failed relay can be identified by a process of elimi-
nation. If there is no data transmission during a 
malfunction, power loss, or removal of the NIU3 circuit 
card, or during a flash upgrade, a failed relay is 
indicated. A Relay Replacement Kit (P/N: 1212072L1) 
is available from ADTRAN.

CAUTION

Relay prongs are fragile. Take extreme care 
when removing and replacing relays so prongs 
are not bent or broken.

To remove a relay, perform the following steps:

1. Insert a jumper strap on the posts immediately 

adjacent to the suspect relay. This provides a signal 
path, bypassing the relay.

2. Using an appropriately-sized IC extractor tool, lift 

the relay off its socket.

3. Take note of prong configuration to match polarity 

of the replacement relay.

4. Carefully align and insert the replacement relay 

until fully seated.

5. Remove the jumper strap.
6. Verify data transmission.

7. SPECIFICATIONS

Specifications for the NIU3 PM are detailed in 

Table 6 

on page 29.
