MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY
The Model FA5000 Solid-State Recorders are considered an “ON CONDITION LRU” and
is designed as maintenance-free unit which makes extensive use of surface mount
technology (SMT).
The repair of printed wiring assemblies (PWAs) containing SMT devices requires special-
ized factory equipment, training, and techniques, therefore, such PWAs are not field-re-
pairable while the unit is under the warranty period. As a result, during the unit’s warranty
period, the FA5000’s maintenance philosophy is replacement of failed level 2 assemblies.
The field replaceable assemblies identified for the FA5000 are the Aircraft Interface PWA,
the Main Processor PWA with or with out Video extension card, and the Crash Survivable
Memory Unit (CSMU).
When it has been determined that one or more of these assemblies is faulty, the assem-
bly(ies) should be removed and returned to L-3 Aviation Recorders for repair or replacement.
Attempts to repair any discrete components of these assemblies will void the warranty.
