correct.
4.3.5 After power is on and startup, equipment should not have abnormal sound,
peculiar smell and other abnormal conditions. It can be started normally and enters
operation system. There is no wrong information during self-diagnostic process,
every indicating light and display are normal. Cooling fans rotate normally, no jam
and the direction is correct.
4.4 Control Station Maintenance
4.4.1 Unit and the equipment associated with computer control system should be shut
down. Control system is put out of service. Stop the sub-systems which need
maintenance and cut off the power.
4.4.2 Number panels and slots whose modules are needed cleaning, set jumpers and
take comprehensive and correct record.
4.4.3 Clean modules and cooling fans. Check if the appearance is clean, no dust, no
spot, no obvious damage and burn mark, plug-in no rust, contact pin and gold
finger no bending and breaking. Every part of module should be installed tightly;
jumper and contact pin are set correctly. Fuse should be complete, type and
capacity is correct and all module marks should be right and clear.
4.4.4 For the modules with standby battery, check and exchange the standby battery
according to the manufacturers rules. When exchange with the new one, make
sure the loss-of-power time is at allowable range.
4.4.5 After checking the modules and cleaning the panel, frame and slots, install
modules to the corresponding slots according to the number on panel and plug-in
slot correctly and reliably.
4.4.6 When modules are ready, check if the connecting wire of module is in the right
place and fastened. If there is fastening screw or lock, fasten the fastening screw
 and close the lock.
4.4.7 Before module is energized, check if the fuse is complete, capacity is correct for
the module with fuse. After it is energized, every indicating light should be correct.
4.5 Computer Control System Maintenance
4.5.1 Routine Maintenance
4.5.1.1 Dont use interphone at the range of 3m of computer control system during
operation.
4.5.1.2 For the equipment which is easy to produce in interferential thing, check if the
circuit wiring is complete and install shield.
4.5.1.3 Take comprehensive record on all faults (including the wrong information and
words), troubleshooting process and the software modification record.
4.5.1.4 Prevent virus from entering computer. Forbid installing other software in
engineering work station, U disc must be the special disc.
4.5.1.5 Make record on fault during routine patrol inspection and arrange troubleshooting
in time according to the relevant rules. I &C designated engineer should check the
patrol inspection record at regular time and verify the troubleshooting.
