Chapter 1 Routine Maintenance Instructions

1.1 Routine Maintenance Overview
1.1.1 Purpose of Routine Maintenance
Reliable running of the BTS depends on effective routine maintenance. The aim of such maintenance is to detect and solve problems in time. This chapter describes the contents of routine maintenance and the correct operation procedures, thus providing the basic methods and reference basis of routine maintenance for users in deciding local office maintenance solutions.

1.1.2 Routine Maintenance Classification

I. Classification by Implementing Methods
1) Conventional maintenance

To observe, test and analyze the equipment performance and operating conditions by means of normal maintenance. 2) Unconventional maintenance

To check whether the equipment performance has degraded by observing, testing and analyzing it in artificially-created special conditions. For example, to avoid alarm system fault, the maintenance personnel can deliberately create some faults and check whether the alarm system can generate reports correctly.

II. Classification by Period Length

1) Unscheduled maintenance

Maintenance tasks incurred by equipment fault and network adjustment. For example, the maintenance operations required at the time of user complaint, equipment damage and line fault are unscheduled. In addition, problems found and recorded in routine maintenance are also one of the triggering factors of unscheduled maintenance operations. 2) Daily routine maintenance

Chapter 1 Routine Maintenance Instructions

Maintenance operations conducted every day, which help the maintenance personnel keep track of equipment running conditions and solve problems in time. When a problem is found in daily maintenance, please record in detail the exact physical position where it occurs and describe it in detail, so that maintenance operations can be conducted in time to avoid bigger trouble. 3) Periodical routine maintenance

Maintenance operations conducted regularly, which help the maintenance personnel keep track of the long-time performance of the equipment. Periodical routine maintenance includes quarterly and yearly maintenance.

1.1.3 BTS Routine Maintenance Record & Instructions

1.2 Weekly Maintenance Instructions

Maintenance item Operation instructions Check the machine room for any environment alarm including power supply, fire and smoke alarms. Check the anti-theft net, doors and windows, and other facilities in the equipment room. Reference standard Everything should be normal. No alarm appears. The facilities including anti-theft net, doors and windows ought to be intact.

Environment condition

Temperature condition Humidity condition

Observe the thermometer indication in Normal equipment room environmental the equipment room. temperature: 15 C~30 C. Observe the hygrometer indication in the equipment room. Normal equipment room environmental humidity: 40% ~ 65%.

Dust-proof condition

All items should be clean without any visible dust attaching. Then the Observe equipment housing, dust-proof condition is good. If any item equipment interior, floor and desktop. is not up to the standard, then the dust-proof condition is bad. Check whether it is normally running The indication of the thermometer is and whether the refrigeration function consistent with the temperature set and is good. the refrigeration system works. Observe whether indicators of all boards are normal.
