Chapter 3 Test Equipment and Service Aids

This chapter provides lists of test equipment and service aids, as well as information on field programming equipment that can be used in programming and servicing SSE 5000 radios at all of the three different levels of service.

3.1Levels of Service

Level 1 service procedures, shown below, are all performed on the outside of the radio:

Operating the radio

Programming the radio

Aligning the radio

Checking radio performance

Level 2 service procedures are performed inside the radio, and include all Level 1 procedures, in addition to:

Disassembling and reassembling the radio

Replacing assemblies, controls, flexes, gaskets, connectors, microphones, speakers, etc.

Replacing boards or modules

Level 3 service procedures include all Level 1 and Level 2 procedures, in addition to:

• Replacing components on boards or modules

Table 3-1lists the test equipment used to perform Level 1 service procedures. Table 3-2lists the service aids for all levels of service, and indicates the level for which each item is appropriate.

3.2Test Equipment

The list of equipment contained in Table 3-1includes all of the standard test equipment required for servicing the SSE 5000 radio. The “Characteristics” column is included so that equivalent equipment may be substituted, as needed.
