Maintenance
Regular inspection and a good preventive maintenance program will increase the reliability of your
GAI-Tronics station. The GAI-Tronics Field Service Department can formulate a service contract suited
to your facility’s specific need for preventive maintenance.
In addition, the following procedure can be used to keep Page/Party ® systems operating effectively.
WARNING
Before performing any of the following preventive maintenance steps, remove
all power from the station.
1. Remove the amplifier from the enclosure.
2. Visually check the interior of the enclosure for signs of contamination such as dust, condensation or
process liquid.
3. Using the No. 10440-002 Maintenance Cable, plug the amplifier into the connector in the enclosure.
Check, and if necessary, adjust the amplifier to maximize performance.
4. Reinstall the amplifier in the enclosure. Ensure that all gaskets and hardware are in place. Failure to
install the gaskets, which also act as spacers, can result in damage to the connectors on the amplifiers
and inside the enclosures and can cause system faults.
It may become necessary to re-terminate some or all of the enclosures in a system. If so, strip the wires
back to clean copper and connect only one wire to each connector to allow for easier future
troubleshooting.
To maintain system operations, we recommend keeping one SmartSeries
®
RTU per every ten installed units
in the site maintenance inventory.
