Chapter 1, Introduction 
LX Series, Rev. 0 
  1-2 
Ventilation – Openings in the cabinets 
and modules front panels are provided 
for ventilation. To ensure the reliable 
operation of the amplifier assembly, and 
to protect the unit from overheating, 
these openings must not be blocked. 
 
Servicing – Do not attempt to service 
this product yourself until becoming 
familiar with the equipment. If in doubt, 
refer all servicing questions to qualified 
Axcera service personnel. 
 
Replacement Parts – When 
replacement parts are used, be sure that 
the parts have the same functional and 
performance characteristics as the 
original part. Unauthorized substitutions 
may result in fire, electric shock, or other 
hazards. Please contact the Axcera 
Technical Service Department if you have 
any questions regarding service or 
replacement parts. 
 
1.4 Maintenance 
 
The LX Series Translator is designed with 
components that require little or no 
periodic maintenance except for the 
routine cleaning of the fans and the front 
panels of the modules. 
   
The amount of time between cleanings 
depends on the conditions within the 
translator room. While the electronics 
have been designed to function even if 
covered with dust, a heavy buildup of 
dust, dirt, or insects will affect the 
cooling of the components. This could 
lead to a thermal shutdown or the 
premature failure of the affected 
modules. 
 
When the front panels of the modules 
become dust covered, the top covers 
should be taken off and any accumulated 
foreign material should be removed. A 
vacuum cleaner, utilizing a small, wand-
type attachment, is an excellent way to 
suction out the dirt. Alcohol and other 
cleaning agents should not be used 
unless you are certain that the solvents 
will not damage components or the silk-
screened markings on the modules and 
boards. Water-based cleaners can be 
used, but do not saturate the 
components. The fans and heatsinks 
should be cleaned of all dust or dirt to 
permit the free flow of air for cooling 
purposes. 
 
It is recommended that the operating 
parameters of the amplifier assembly and 
translator be recorded from the LEDs on 
the modules and the LCD system 
metering on the control/monitoring 
module at least once a month. It is 
suggested that this data be retained in a 
rugged folder or envelope. 
 
1.5 Material Return Procedure 
 
To insure the efficient handling of 
equipment or components that have been 
returned for repair, Axcera requests that 
each returned item be accompanied by a 
Material Return Authorization Number 
(MRA#). 
 
An MRA# can be obtained from any 
Axcera Field Service Engineer by 
contacting the Axcera Field Service 
Department at (724) 873-8100 or by fax 
at (724) 873-8105. This procedure 
applies to all items sent to the Field 
Service Department regardless of 
whether the item was originally 
manufactured by Axcera. 
 
When equipment is sent to the field on 
loan, an MRA# is included with the unit. 
The MRA# is intended to be used when 
the unit is returned to Axcera. In 
addition, all shipping material should be 
retained for the return of the unit to 
Axcera.  
 
Replacement assemblies are also sent 
with an MRA# to allow for the proper 
routing of the exchanged hardware. 
Failure to close out this type of MRA# will 
normally result in the customer being 
invoiced for the value of the loaner item 
or the exchange assembly.
