SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not perform outdoor Belfort AWOS maintenance tasks during a thunderstorm.
2. Use extreme caution when lowering the tilt-over tower whenever ice or snow has accumulated

on the tower cross arm or the sensors. The extra weight may cause the tower to fall over
rapidly.

TOOLS REQUIRED

1.

Phillips head screwdriver

2.

Socket wrench and ¾" socket

Removal Procedures: Refer to Figure 6.

1.

At the DATU display terminal,  issue a NOTAM advisory to  alert  users that  the  Belfort
AWOS  system  is  being  serviced  prior  to  beginning  investigation  of  this  fault.    The
NOTAM  to  be  issued  is  "

Belfort AWOS system being serviced, do not use current

weather data outputs

." Verify that this NOTAM advisory is displayed on the operator

screen prior to beginning this maintenance tasks. Refer to the "Belfort AWOS Operator
Manual" for instructions on how to enter and delete NOTAMs.

2.

Remove  tower-securing  bolts  and  tilt  the  tower  until  the  cross  arm  is  at  a  comfortable
working  height  to  access  the  Temperature/Humidity  Sensor.    Secure  the  tower  in  that
position  by  tying  the  attached  tower  hold-down  rope  to  the  base  of  the  Belfort  AWOS
tower as shown in Figure 2.

3.

Power down the power enclosure by opening the AC and DC circuit breakers.

4.

Loosen the jam nut on bottom of the plastic sensor adapter a few turns.

5.

Remove the sensor and sensor connector assembly through the bottom of the plastic
adapter.

6.

Disconnect the sensor probe from the sensor cable connector.

7.

Inspect the sensor cable connector for damage, corrosion or bent or broken pins. Replace
as necessary.

8.

Contact Belfort Instrument Co. customer support to make arrangements for replacement
of defective components.

9.

Refer to the Belfort AWOS Installation and Checkout manual Section 9.0 for installation
and checkout of the replacement parts.

10.

Document sensor replacement on the FAA form 6030-1
