The fans used by Comtech EF Data’s LPOD-R family of Outdoor Amplifiers / Block Up Converters
(BUCs) (Figure B-1) are designed for long life, even in harsh environments. Still, they are
mechanical devices, subject to wear, and may need replacement after several years.
In most environments, Comtech EF Data recommends clearing the heat sinks of dust and debris
approximately once per year to ensure optimal fan life.
