Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance procedures consist of identifying and correcting defects or deficiencies that
arise during transmitter operation. Local and/or remote alarm signals are generated when a
malfunction occurs. If an alarm condition is caused by a malfunction in the RF power stage, the
transmitter may maintain operation at a reduced RF output level. The nature of the fault – and station
policy – will dictate whether an immediate maintenance response is necessary. Fault analysis and
rectification may be conducted from three different levels, with a different technical competence level
required for each: on-air troubleshooting, remote or local, and off-air troubleshooting.
On-Air Troubleshooting
On-air troubleshooting can be performed from a remote location, or locally at the transmitter site.
CAUTION!
The transmitter contains many solid state devices that may be damaged
if subjected to excessive heat or high voltage transients. Take every effort to ensure
that circuits are not overdriven or disconnected from their loads while turned on.
