(for improved performance and for retrofitting options)
Replacing the two rack fans after approx. 40000 operating hours
Replacing the two fans in the exciter after approx. 40000 operating hours
1.2 Maintenance of Subcontractor Products
Subcontractor products such as external air filters must be maintained in accordance with
the maintenance instructions of the individual manufacturer/product.

3 Preparatory Work
3.1 Safety
Note Full information on the subject of safety can be found in the section "Safety".
3.2 Rack Cabling
The standard components of the NW820x transmitter are fully cabled together on delivery.
You need to reconnect the separate replacement instruments during service work.
Each cable has a yellow collar at each end, inscribed with the cable number (W...) and the
intended purpose (module number A..., connector number X...). This makes it easier to
connect the cable concerned to the intended slot or connection point, since the modules
are provided with an engraved or self-adhesive circuit diagram.
For easy connection of replacement instruments or devices proceed as follows:
1. Find the plug (connector) number from the yellow collar on the cable.
2. Find the same number on the instrument you wish to connect (by looking for the female
connector or circuit diagram).
3. Insert the plug connector into the corresponding female connector.
ATTENTION!
You need to pay particular attention to safety during service work. As a matter of principle
all service work must be carried out by qualified personnel on components that are free of
any voltage. Heavy components such as amplifiers must always be replaced in twos.
