Section 5 Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance
Overview
This section explains the maintenance requirements of the 2103
Modem.
The 2103 Modem is designed to perform reliably in adverse con-
ditions with a minimal amount of routine service requirements.
To keep your system working properly, you should check the des-
iccant and channel conditions at regular intervals.
Maintenance intervals are affected by many variables. Humidity
levels obviously affect the service life of the desiccant, and the
amount of debris in the stream can drastically alter the channel
conditions.
Experience is often the best tool to use when establishing
minimum maintenance intervals for your system. Until you have
gained an understanding of the AV Module’s operation under dif-
fering environmental conditions, a weekly maintenance interval
is recommended.
5.1.1 Cleaning The 2103 Modem case may be cleaned using a soft cloth, warm
water, and a mild detergent. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, or
you might scratch the surface of the case.
Before cleaning, make sure that all the protective connector caps
are in place to avoid damage to any of the connectors. You should
also ensure that no water or cleanser enters the desiccant unit.
5.2 Maintenance Kit Some of the parts mentioned in the Maintenance section of this
manual are available in a maintenance kit.
Kit number 60-2009-004 contains three O-rings for the communi-
cation connectors, silicone lubricant to apply to the O-rings, a des-
iccant assembly, and a container of silica gel desiccant. A
maintenance instruction sheet is included with the kit.
You can order the kit by calling Teledyne Isco’s Customer Service
Department.
