g. Screw the new controller to the payload bay deck, using the two screws removed
from the old controller.
3. Reinstall the payload.
4. Dispose of the old controller according to local and national regulations concerning elec-
tronic components.
Light Discs
The two light disc assemblies and their controllers are single units, so replacing a controller
also replaces all of the lights on that side of the platform.
1. Remove the side cover, on the side that needs the light disc assembly replaced.
Refer to Removing and Installing Covers on page 85.
2. Unscrew the four screws holding the light disc PCA to the side cover.
Retain the screws and round cover for installing the new assembly.
3. Remove the light disc PCA.
4. Screw the new assembly and retained round cover to the side cover, using the screws
retained from the old assembly. The PCA is keyed so that it can only be installed in one
orientation.
5. Reinstall the side cover, connecting the cable to the new light disc PCA.
6. Dispose of the old light disc PCA according to local and national regulations con-
cerning electronic components.
Operator Panel
The Operator panel will typically be located on a user-supplied payload, so the removal and
replacement of this will vary from one AIV to another. It plugs into the HMI Panel connector
on the Lynx core.
Drive Assemblies
The platform drive assemblies have been designed to be field-replaceable. This will replace the
drive motor, gearbox, encoder, and wheel/tire assembly.
Removal
1. Remove the inner rear cover.
2. Unlatch and open the battery compartment door, at the back of the platform.
The battery compartment door is capable of being locked. You may need to unlock it
before opening.
3. Disconnect battery power by unplugging the two cables at the rear of the battery.
4. Remove the side cover a small distance from the platform on the side where you want
to replace the drive assembly. Refer to Removing and Installing Covers on page 85.
The light disc PCA cable will still be attached.
