About This Manual
Service policy
The LDK 7500 + LDK 5490 is a sophisticated camera
containing state-of-the-art electronic components which
are designed to provide long-life operation without the
need for maintenance. With this in mind, the service
policy of Thomson Broadcast Solutions endeavours to
ensure that help will be quickly on hand in the unlikely
event of anything going wrong. The guiding principles
of the Thomson Broadcast Solutions first line
maintenance philosophy are speed and cost
effectiveness. First line maintenance is dedicated to
keeping your camera operational, despite a fault, by
module replacement and the replacement of minor
mechanical parts by the user.
Purpose of this manual
The provision of correct information is the first step in
ensuring the operational integrity of the camera.
Information on the operation of the camera is to be
found in the Operators’s Manual.
This technical manual is an integral part of the service
policy. It ensures that you will be able to install and set-
up your camera to meet the requirements of your
environment. This information on the installation of the
camera is contained in Section 2 of the manual. The
remaining sections of the manual provide first line
service information so that suitably qualified service
personnel can detect and repair faults, normally by
module replacement.
Because of the complexity of some of the components,
second line service can only be carried out at the
specially equipped service centres and information
concerning second line maintenance is not supplied
in this manual.
Intended audience
The manual is intended as a guide to those with a
working knowledge of camera systems and installation
techniques. The first line detection and repair of faults
requires a general knowledge of test and measurement
techniques.
