6 MAINTENANCE  
6.1 GENERAL 
 
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings
Note: 
The Node C does not require any preventative maintenance 
measures. 
It is only recommended to replace the battery pack of the battery backup option after 
two years of usage as a preventive measure. The nominal lifetime of the battery pack 
is approx. two years under normal environmental conditions. 
 
In the event of a malfunction, the user should check the status of the antennas, 
feeder cables, connectors, and mains power before replacing any components. 
 
6.2 REPLACEMENT 
OF 
COMPONENTS 
 
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings
 
Maintenance of the Node C should be performed on a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) 
basis only. Do not damage the warranty labels on the components, as this voids the 
warranty.  
 
The spare parts list contains only units that can be replaced without tuning or 
complex soldering work. Those units are all components of the Interface Unit. Do not 
replace any components inside the Node C itself. 
Note: 
Defect parts should only be replaced by original parts from the 
supplier. All interventions inside the housing are at one’s own risk.
 
Note: 
During maintenance ensure that the unit has been disconnected 
from mains. 
To open the cabinet of the Interface Unit, observe the instructions in chapter 4.1 
General
Note: 
If the optional battery backup is installed, disconnect the battery 
cable from the charge module connector as described in chapter 
5.4.1.3 Battery Backup
, to ensure that all circuits are voltage-free. 
Note: 
Before disconnecting any cables, label any unlabeled cables to 
ensure correct reconnection, and check the switch positions of the 
removed part to set the switches of the new part accordingly. 
 
To replace a FRU, use the appropriate tools. The tools are provided along with the 
equipment. Replacement tools may be ordered from the supplier. All screws have a 
right-hand thread, turn the tool clockwise for tightening and counter-clockwise for 
loosening.
