The system should be checked to ensure that there is
no obvious external damage or potential fault
conditions that could lead to a general failure of any
part of the system.

Earth
bonding
and
continuity
On the underside of the RDU, visually inspect the earth terminal for
damage and corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean and re-
terminate as described in Section 9.4.
☐
☐
Check that the earth bonding strap between the radar distribution
unit door and chassis is secure and has a good electrical
connection.
☐
☐
Test the earth bonding conductivity by attaching one lead of the test
equipment
note
to earth/chassis and the other to an unpainted part of
the equipment under test.
Check the earth bonding for continuity, the resistance should not
exceed 0.1 ohms (see section 9.4). If a test fails, investigate the
bonding, rectify and repeat the test.
Note:
Safety ohmmeter, Bridge Megger or Multimeter.

Inverter
Fan
Condition
Check
Depending on the ambient temperature and loading conditions, the
fan within the static inverter has a predefined service life (e.g. 10
years).
The fan run time must be checked annually to see if the fan needs
replacement.
WARNING:
Lethal single and 3-Phase AC supplies are present within the RDU.
Check the Inverter fan run time (e.g. t0.50)
