Opening and Closing the Housing
Installation or maintenance of the node requires opening the housing to access the internal modules.
Proper housing closure is important to maintaining the node in good working condition. Proper closure ensures
a good seal against the environment, protecting the internal modules.
Opening the Housing
Open the housing as follows.
1. Remove the bolts securing the lid to the base.
2. Carefully open the lid to allow access to the inside of the housing.
3. Inspect gaskets on the cover flange and on the test port plugs.
4. Replace any gaskets showing signs of wear (cracked, twisted, pinched, or dry) with new, silicon-lubricated
gaskets.
Closing the Housing
Close the housing as follows.
1. Ensure any worn gaskets are replaced, and the gaskets are clean and in the correct position.
2. Carefully close the lid.

  • Page 11: Recommended Equipment

    Maintenance Recommended Equipment Cleaning fiber-optic connectors can help prevent interconnect problems and aid system performance. When optical connectors are disconnected or reconnected, the fiber surface can become dirty or scratched, reducing system performance. Inspect connectors prior to mating, clean as needed, and then remove all residues. Inspect connectors after cleaning to confirm that they are clean and undamaged.
