CHAPTER 7
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter describes common problems, their probable causes and
remedies, and gives the contact information.
The goal of troubleshooting is to locate the cause for the potential
problem. Failure situations are usually caused by dirt in optics or
unclarity of the optical path. Also external conditions or the following
replaceable subassemblies may be the source of problems:
- CLE311 Ceilometer Engine Board
- CLT311 Ceilometer Transmitter
- CLR311 Ceilometer Receiver
- CLM311 Laser Monitor Board
- CLP311 AC Power
- CLB311-115/230 Blower
- CLH311-115/230 Heater
- DRW217429 Coaxial cable
- 4592 Battery
If damage is suspected in a subassembly or a board, replace it with a
spare part and send the defective part to Vaisala for
repair/replacement.
NOTE
Replacements must only be performed by qualified maintenance
personnel, and they must be done according to the instructions in
Chapter 8, Repair on page 91. As a principle, customer made repairs
are restricted to the replacement of subassemblies.
