Section II. TROUBLESHOOTING

6-5. General

Direct support (intermediate) level troubleshooting of the MWS will be accomplished on equipment that is in

a functional installation or in a bench test setup (para 6-19).

The scope of direct support (intermediate) level troubleshooting is summarized in table 6-3. The

troubles,

probable causes, and corrective actions are arranged in accordance with the sequence of steps involved in the post-

installation functional checkout of the MWS (para 2-9 and 2-10)

6-6. Troubleshooting Tests

Tests indicated in the troubleshooting chart are simple power (voltage) or continuity (resistance) checks.

Use of a standard multimeter (voltohmmeter) or general purpose oscilloscope will facilitate fault isolation to

the authorized component level.

If a voltohmmeter (or oscilloscope) is not available, suspect components must be replaced until proper

functional checkout results are obtained.

Refer to paragraphs 2-9 and 2-10 for functional (performance test) procedures and to paragraph 6-19 for

bench test procedures.

Refer to Section IV of this chapter for procedures involving use of a voltohmmeter or oscilloscope.

Section III. MAINTENANCE OF MAGNETIC WEAPON SYSTEM

6-7. General

Repair of the MWS shall be limited to replacement of the following:

(1) Defective or depleted batteries.

(2) Defective EOL Module.

(3) Defective loop sensor.

(4) Defective Input and Filter Assembly.

(5) Defective PWB Assembly.

(6) Defective SPU enclosure (cover or chassis, or both).

Other authorized repairs shall include:

(1) Resoldering of broken or defective wire solder connection.

(2)

Replacement of discrete defective hookup wire(s)

(3) Replacement of defective or missing screw fasteners

Disposition of parts replaced will be in accordance with the applicable maintenance and recoverability codes in

Appendix C.

6-8 Battery Replacement

Warning

Mercury battery cells characteristically undergo a severe thermal reaction if the terminal are

shorted for a sufficient period of time. This thermal reaction may result in an explosion that

would be hazardous to nearby personnel.
