Workshop maintenance and preventive maintenance
In the field maintenance
The light assemblies can be serviced in the field, but it is recommended to limit field maintenance to cleaning the prisms. It is recommended to replace the inset lights at regular intervals and to have them overhauled in the maintenance shop. The same applies to lights found unserviceable in the field.
Siemens Airfield Solutions designed a set of workshop jigs for dismantling and re- assembling the fittings.
Preventive maintenance
The assembly's service life depends to a large extent on its waterproofness. All metal mating surfaces and seals must be clean, smooth, dry and free of all foreign particles if the light fixture is to operate for extended periods without requiring maintenance.
Greasing of
Preventive maintenance of the light fixtures should be performed as listed in the table on the next page.
Maintenance frequency depends on the conditions under which the runway is used (i.e. climate, traffic, etc.). The recommended practices for maintenance are described in the FAA advisory circular AC
