Fault Isolation
The design of the modem allows for removal and replacement of some faulty components in
the field. The optional interface PCB’s can be removed from the modem through the rear
panel, without requiring special tools. The TURBO PCB and power supply can be replaced if
the top cover is removed.
CAUTION
This equipment contains parts and assemblies sensitive to damage by ESD.
Use ESD precautionary procedures when touching, removing, or inserting
PCBs.
The fault monitoring capability of the modem assists the operator in determining which PCB
has failed. If possible, replace the faulty PCB and return the damaged board to the Comtech
EF Data Customer Support Department for repair. If not return the complete modem.
