3. SERVICE
3.1. MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
If SAILOR RT2048 has been installed in a proper way the maintenance can be reduced to an overhaul at each visit
of the service staff. Then inspect the set, the antenna, cables, and plugs for mechanical damages, salt deposits,
corrosion, and any foreign material. Owing to its traditional structure, the SAILOR RT2048 has a long lifetime, but
it must always be carefully checked at intervals not exceeding 12 months - dependent on the conditions under which
the set is working. The set must be brought to the service workshop to be tested.
Along with each set a TEST-SHEET is delivered in which all the measurements, made in the test department of
the factory, are listed. If the control measurings made in the service workshop should not show the same values
as those listed in the test-sheet, the set must be adjusted as specified in the ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE.
