AIRBUS IRIDIUM SATCOM SYSTEM
REPAIR
1. GENERAL
This section is intended to contain information required to restore a worn or damaged part
to a serviceable condition. However, the Airbus Iridium SATCOM System is a completely
solid-state device that does not contain any electro-mechanical moving parts.
The Airbus Iridium SATCOM System consists of a Satellite Data Unit (SDU) and SDU
Configuration Module (SCM) line replaceable units (LRUs).
These LRUs have been designed as Level-1 maintenance units that make extensive use
of surface mount technology (SMT). The repair of circuit card assemblies (CCAs)
containing SMT components requires specialized factory equipment, training, and
techniques, therefore, such CCAs are not field-repairable. Only the L-3AR Repair Station,
FAA: LD7R612J; EASA.145.4620 is authorized to repair the Airbus Iridium SATCOM
System components in accordance with L-3AR Factory test, calibration and repair
specifications.
CAUTION:
THE AIRBUS IRIDIUM SYSTEM CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO ELECTROSTATIC DESTRUCTION. PRIOR TO HANDLING PWAs,
ENSURE PROPER PERSONNEL GROUNDING TECHNIQUES ARE
USED.
ENSURE THAT CARDS ARE PLACED INTO STATIC SHIELDING
CONDUCTIVE BAGS WHEN HANDLING OR STORING.
