Chapter 5Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures
5.1Introduction
This chapter provides details about the following:
• Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning).
• Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices.
• Disassembly and reassembly of the repeater.
• Disassembly and reassembly of the Transmit and Receive radios.
• Repair procedures and techniques.
5.2Preventive Maintenance
Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
5.2.1Inspection
Check that the external surfaces of the repeater are clean, and that all external controls and switches
are functional. It is not recommended to inspect the interior electronic circuitry.
5.2.2Cleaning Procedures
The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used
when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the repeater. External surfaces include the top
cover and repeater enclosure.
Periodically clean smudges and grime from exterior enclosure. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth
moistened in a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surface using a second cloth moistened in
clean water, and clean any dirt or debris from the fan grill and louvers on the front side.
NOTE: Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the repeater is disassembled for service or
repair.
The only recommended agent for cleaning the external repeater surfaces is a 0.5% solution of a
mild dishwashing detergent in water. The only factory recommended liquid for cleaning the printed
circuit boards and their components is isopropyl alcohol (70% by volume).
Cleaning Internal Circuit Boards and Components
Isopropyl alcohol (70%) may be applied with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to dislodge
embedded or caked materials located in hard-to-reach areas. The brush stroke should direct the
dislodged material out and away from the inside of the repeater. Make sure that controls or tunable
components are not soaked with alcohol. Do not use high-pressure air to hasten the drying process
since this could cause the liquid to collect in unwanted places. Once the cleaning process is
complete, use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth to dry the area. Do not brush or apply any isopropyl
alcohol to the top cover and repeater enclosure.
NOTE: Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by
dissolved material (from previous usage).

5-2Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
5.3Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices are used in this family of repeaters,
and are susceptible to damage by electrostatic or high voltage charges. Damage can be latent,
resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later. Therefore, special precautions must be taken to
prevent device damage during disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair.
Handling precautions are mandatory for CMOS circuits and are especially important in low humidity
conditions.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the repeater without first referring to the following CAUTION
statement.
This repeater contains static-sensitive devices. Do not open the repeater unless you
are properly grounded. Take the following precautions when working on this unit:
!
C a u t i o n
• Store and transport all CMOS devices in conductive material so that
all exposed leads are shorted together. Do not insert CMOS devices
into conventional plastic “snow” trays used for storage and
transportation of other semiconductor devices.
• Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the
CMOS device. We recommend using the Motorola Static Protection
Assembly (part number 0180386A82), which includes a wrist strap,
two ground cords, a table mat, and a floor mat.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap in series with a 100k resistor to
ground. (Replacement wrist straps that connect to the bench top
covering are Motorola part number 4280385A59).
• Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS devices.
• Do not insert or remove CMOS devices with power applied. Check
all power supplies used for testing CMOS devices to be certain that
there are no voltage transients present.
• When straightening CMOS pins, provide ground straps for the
apparatus used.
• When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
• If at all possible, handle CMOS devices by the package and not by
the leads. Prior to touching the unit, touch an electrical ground to
remove any static charge that you may have accumulated. The
package and substrate may be electrically common. If so, the
reaction of a discharge to the case would cause the same damage
as touching the leads.

Parts Replacement and Substitution
When damaged parts are replaced, identical parts should be used. If the identical replacement part
is not locally available, check the parts list for the proper Motorola part number and order the part
from the nearest Motorola Radio Products and Solutions Organization listed in Appendix A of this
manual.
Rigid Circuit Boards
This repeater uses bonded, multi-layer, printed circuit boards. Since the inner layers are not
accessible, some special considerations are required when soldering and unsoldering components.
The printed-through holes may interconnect multiple layers of the printed circuit. Therefore, exercise
care to avoid pulling the plated circuit out of the hole.
When soldering near connector:
• Avoid accidentally getting solder in the connector.
• Be careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins.
• Examine your work closely for shorts due to solder bridges.

This chapter contains error codes and board replacement procedures. If the repeater does not pass
all the performance checks in Chapter 3, then please send the repeater to a Motorola Service Center
listed in Appendix A.
NOTE: To access the various connector pins, use the housing eliminator/test fixture along with the
diagrams found in this section of the manual. (See Section, "Service Aids" on page 2-2, for
the appropriate Motorola service aids and tools part numbers.)
6.1.1High Power RF Precaution
The repeater might transmit while the technician believes the radio is in
receive mode under the following conditions: radio failure, digital affiliation,
!
C a u t i o n
a defective PTT button, or other unintentional activations.
To avoid possible equipment damage, when performing both transmit and
receive tests, a suitable attenuator rated at 100 W or more should always be
used with test equipment connected to the RF connector. The only
exception to this is when the equipment’s input power rating is higher than
the maximum output power of the repeater.
6.2Replacement Service Kit Procedures
Once a problem has been isolated to a specific board, install the appropriate service kit (see Model
Chart in Section 1.4 on page 1-3), which is orderable from Motorola Radio Products and Solutions
Organization, see Appendix A. Refer to http://emeaonline.motorola.com for further information.
• If a board is replaced, it does not necessarily need to be retuned if it has been factory tuned. It
should however be checked for performance before being placed into service. Of particular
concern is the Bias DAC, which will need to be set for the appropriate final device bias current
prior to keying up the radio. If the bias is not properly set it may be possible to cause damage to
the transmitter.
!
C a u t i o n
The Tuner Tool only allows the serial number of a blank board to be entered
once. Be very attentive during this procedure.
