8. Maintenance and
troubleshooting
8.1 General maintenance
With no moving parts, maintenance of the CSAT3BH is minimal and limited to the following:
l
Replacing the desiccant canister
l
Monitoring diagnostics and measurement offsets to determine when factory recalibration
is needed
l
Monitoring diagnostics to assure battery bank for both 12 and 24 VDC power sources have
sufficient charge
l
Replacing the desiccant pack within the CSAT3H heater electronics enclosure annually
The following sections address these maintenance activities.
