Section 7 – Preventive Maintenance

1. Overview

This section is dedicated to the necessary procedures for proper preventive, periodic and corrective
maintenance in order to guarantee an TV transmitter that works properly and for a longer period of time.
Only trained and authorized people should be allowed to open the transmitter. The non-
compliance of this item might result Warranty loss.
IMPORTANT:
⇨ The life expectancy of the equipment depends on its working conditions.
⇨ Environments with controlled temperature increase the life span of the components.
⇨ In the semester inspections, if there is a noise or an abnormal vibration in the fan located inside
the equipment, it should be replaced. This same procedure should be followed for the frontal
panel fans in the power drawers or the excitation module.
