This handbookcontains general maintenance data that pertains to allelectronic equipments and it can be used to supplementinformation contained in equipment technicalmanuals. The satisfactory performance of modemelectronic equipment depends to a great extent uponthe maintenance procedures employed by the electronicstechnician. It further depends upon the skillfulapplication of these procedures by the technician.Continued satisfactory performance is dependent uponthe work done by the men who inspect, repair, andmaintain electronic equipment. The objectives of the<strong>General</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong> Handbook are to aid in themaintenance effort by:1. Preparing and assembling, in onehandbook, the approved procedures and concepts tobe employed in the maintenance of all electronicequipment.2. Standardizing these procedures andconcepts which, when used, will provide uniform andsatisfactory electronic maintenance.3. Indoctrinating cI1 personnelengaged in maintenance with the importance of goodworkmanship.4. Making all personnel involved inelectronic maintenance aware of the importance ofgood maintenance techniques.5. Preventing personnel injury andequipment damage by emphasizing safety precautionsand by prohibiting unsafe maintenance practices.1-2 SCOPEInformation for the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong>Handbook has been collected from other <strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong>handbooks, the EIB, the NAVSHIPS Technical News,and many other pertinent sources, both militaryand commercial. The <strong>General</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong> Handbookwill be useful as a convenient reference book forthree general categories of maintenance personnel:1-2.1 EXPERIENCED TECHNICIANThe experienced technician has nogreat difficulty in coping with maintenance problemsbecause of previous experience and well developedmaintenance skills. This person will use thehandbook as reference or review material. He will increasehis knowledge of electronics maintenance asnew concepts and procedures are added to this text.1-2.2 TECHNICIAN OUT-OF-SCHOOLThis category of technician is representativeof the individual who has completed Navytraining courses, but has limited experience with thefleet. His experience will probably be limited toequipments covered in training courses and to equipmentshe has encountered in his brief tour of dutywith the fleet. Consequently, this handbook will proveextremely valuable to him, especially as new equipmentsare confronted. The maintenance concepts inthis handbook will help familiarize him with the newtechniques involved in maintaining modern equipments.1-2.3 TRAINEEThe trainee willl find the informationcontained in the handbook to be useful as a referencewhile in training. Later, he will find that it serves asa source of review as well as reference. As a training aid,the individurd sections might be recommended forsuggested reading. Information contained in this handbookis of lasting interest to all Naval personnelengaged in the maintenance of electronic equipment.1-3 ORGANIZATIONInformation in the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong>Handbook, NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>, is presentedin seven sections:Section 1- INTRODUCTIONThis section explains the purpose,scope, and organization of the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong>, Handbook. It also describes the relationship of thishandbook to other handbooks of the <strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong> series.ORIGINAL 1-1


INTRODUCTION NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCESection 2- MAINTENANCE CONCEPTSThis section presents the basic conceptsto the technician. These concepts are the foundation ofgood electronic maintenance. Preventive maintenanceprograms (POMSEE and PMS) are explained and theprocedures required for carrying out these programs arecovered. Responsibilities of the operator and technicianin carrying out the preventive maintenance programare defined. Troubleshooting and failure analysisare discussed. Types and classes of alterations, fieldchanges, and the procedures to follow after accomplishmentof each are also covered in detail in this section.Section 3- ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSThis section reviews routine maintenanceprocedures such as cleaning; inspection; lubrication;use of maintenance aids, such as soldering toolsand special hand tools; and soldering and splicingtechniques. Emphasis is placed on the importance ofthese procedures in hopes of making the technicianmore aware of their value. The importance of safety,not only to prevent injury to the technician, but toprolong the life of electronic equipment as well, arealso required. References are made to publicationsthat cover personnel safety and equipment operationand maintenance safety procedures.Section 4- SOLDERING TECHNIQUESBecause of the complexity of today’smodem electronic systems and the lack ofdocumentation on the subject, an attempt has beenmade to acquaint the technician with some of thesystem test equipment that has been, and is being,designed to test these modem systems. When these newmeans of testing are not available, the technician is toldhow to use the resources at his disposal to cope withsystem maintenance problems.Section 5- MINIATURE REPAIRThis section gives a practicaJ approachto the problem of maintaining equipments. <strong>Maintenance</strong>information such as testing, troubleshooting, repairof subassemblies, modular components, andprinted circuit boards is included in this section.Section 6- MICROMINIATURE REPAIRThis section is broken into a numberof subsections, each of which deals with one typeof component and its associated maintenance peculiarities.Information such as special tests, removal andreplacement, and inspection is presented in detailfor each of the major components discussed in thissection.Section 7- DIGITAL TROUBLESHOOTINGTECHNIQUESThis section provides practical techniquesof digital troubleshooting with logic clips, logicprobes, logic pulsers, current tracers, logic comparatorsand logic analyzers. State Flow analysis techniques arealso covered in this section.1-2 ORIGINAL

MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCEcheckoff lists to ensure that the schedule is carriedout. The administration of such a program aboard shiprequires that the preventive maintenance needs ofevery equipment be recognized, planned for, accomplished,and recorded. The Planned <strong>Maintenance</strong> Subsystem(PMS) has been developed to accomplish thesetasks. The Performance Operation and <strong>Maintenance</strong>Systems for Electronic Equipment (POMSEE) is stillcurrent for selected equipments; however, it is currentlyimplemented only on a case basis. These programs donot provide a means for technicians to report mainte.nance problems. Such a system employing automaticdata processing was then developed. This system,the <strong>Maintenance</strong> Data System (MDS), complements thePMS to form the basic <strong>Maintenance</strong> and MaterialManagement (3-M) System. Each of these currentmaintenance programs (POMSEE, PMS, and 3-M)are discussed subsequently.2-2.1 POMSEE PROGRAMThe POMSEE program is designed tohelp operational and maintenance personnel determineand maintain proper performance of electronic equipment.It is implemented on a case basis by acquisitionmanagers. The fundamental elements of POMSEE arethe Reference Standards Tests, Reference StandardsSummary Sheets, and Performance Standards Sheets.The Reference Standards Tests and ReferenceStandards Summary Sheets comprise the ReferenceStandards Book. The scheduled tests, however, aresuperseded when the PMS is implemented. The requirementsfor establishing the Reference StandardTests for electronic equipment after installation, andfor using these test procedures as a basis for equipmentcheck-out after overhaul or restoration, remain ineffect. A preliminary copy of the Reference StandardsBook is normally packed with each new electronicequipment. Upon its receipt, maintenance personnelshould immediately perform the tests listed in theReference Standards Tests and forward the resultsrecorded on the Reference Standard Summary Sheetsto NAVSEA for review. Finrd copies or changes arethen published after NAVSEA evaluates the ReferenceStandards Summary Sheets. POMSEE is a test documentfor equipment check-out after its installation orre-installation aboard ship, and after steps have twentaken to ensure that the equipment is properlyinstalled and operating satisfactorily. It does not eliminatethe necessity for making adjustments, alignments,checks, or other installation procedures described inthe technical manual which are necessary to obtainsatisfactory operation. Before establishing thereference standards, the equipment must be completelychecked out by qualified technical personnel to ensureoptimum equipment operation. The qualified technicalpersonnel should have received training in operationand maintenance of the equipment and have sufficientskill to tune, align, and peak the equipment untilit is performing as near design characteristics as possible.While there is no objection in having the installingactivity perform operational tests in the shopprior to installation, NAVSEA requires that thePOMSEE measurements be conducted on board ship,operating off ship’s power. Shop tests will not disclosethe effects of poor installation, wiring errors, noisepickup, instability in ship’s power generating source,self-generated and receiving interference, or therough handling effects in transportation from shop toship.2-2.1.1 Reference Standards TestsThe Reference Standards Tests consistof a series of measurements made initially when theequipment is operating at peak performance. Thesemeasurements, containing upper and lower limits, providemaintenance personnel with standards againstwhich subsequent measurements may be compared.The tests are scheduled on a routine basis such asdaily, weekly, and monthly. Daily tests are designed sothat they can be performed in less than 10 minuteson a single-unit set. These tests are usually performedby the operator on watch and they consist mainly of aperformance check using the equipment modes andfeatures, and built-in test equipment. Weekly tests aredesigned to monitor an equipment function wherethere is a definite likelihood that the interpretationof test results will reveal potential trouble. Monthlyand quarterly tests consist of measurements that cannotnormally be performed when the ship is underway.Examples typical of this test are: sonar beampattern tests, sonar transducer maintenance, andcleaning and lubricating antennas. In some instances,unscheduled tests are provided. These tests are notdesigned to detect impending failure but are performedupon completion of repair for check out.2-2.1.2 Reference StandardsSummary SheetsThe Reference Standards SummarySheets basically provide spaces for recordingmeasurements and the initials of the person performingthe tests. The tests used are those in the ReferenceStandards Tests. Two identical Reference StandardsSummary Sheets precede the front matter of a newly-.2-2ORIGINAL

After the sheets arefilled in, one is retained in the book and the second issubmitted to NAVSEA for evaluation.2-2.1.3 Performance Standards SheetsThe Performance Standards Sheets listthe operational characteristics of an equipment orsystem. The characteristics given include such parametersas meter readings, sensitivi@ values, outputpower, standing wave ratios, and all other measurableparameters that indicate the operational condition ofthe equipment. Performance Standards Sheets areused by maintenance personnel to determine theoverall operation of an equipment by comparing itsdata with the test results recorded in the ReferenceStandards Book. This sheet is usually the first page ina newly issued Reference Standards Book. As part ofthe POMSEE program, this sheet should be removedfrom the Reference Standards Book and placed in abinder titled, “Electronic Equipment PerformanceStandard Sheets,” NAVSEA 93<strong>00</strong>0.2-2.2 MAINTENANCE AND MATERIALMANAGEMENT SYSTEMThe <strong>Maintenance</strong> and Material Management(3-M) System is an integrated managementsystem which, when fully implemented and properlyused, provides for orderly scheduling and accomplishmentof maintenance and for reporting and disseminatingsignificant maintenance related information.It is composed of two principle subsystems: thePlanned <strong>Maintenance</strong> System (PMS), and the<strong>Maintenance</strong> Data System (MDS). Together, PMS andMDS form the nucleus of a shipboard maintenance programwhich can contribute significantly toward achievingimproved fleet readiness with reduced expenditureof resources.2-2.2.1 Planned <strong>Maintenance</strong> SystemThe Planned <strong>Maintenance</strong> System (PMS)pertains to the planning, scheduling, and managementof resources (men, material, and time) to performthose actions which contribute to the uninterruptedfunctioning of equipment within its design characteristics.It defines uniform maintenance standards,based on engineering experience, and prescribes simplifiedprocedures and management techniques forthe accomplishment of maintenance. The increasingcomplexity and quantity of equipment required forthe operation of the modern Navy has necessitatedthe continuous updating of maintenance proceduresand the refinement of maintenance managementorganization at all levels. These improved proceduresare necessary for the assurance of equipment readiness,the key to operational readiness. For this reason it isof utmost importance that all maintenance personnelbe familiar with the proper use of the PMS documentsand schedules for implementing and accomplishingplanned maintenance. OPNAVINST 4790,4 describesthe detailed operation of PMS. The following paragraphssummarize shipboard operation.2-2.2.1.1 <strong>Maintenance</strong> Index PageThe <strong>Maintenance</strong> Index Page (MIP),OPNAV Form 47<strong>00</strong>-3, is the basic reference document inthe PMS. See Figure 2-2. It catalogues the maintenancerequirements, skill levels considered qualified toperform the maintenance requirements, referencedocuments, and other reference data for all equipmentslisted in the Master manuaf. Each MIP containsa list for one set of <strong>Maintenance</strong> Requirement Cards.Specifically, the information listed is as follows:1.

See Figure 2-3. Itprovides maintenance personnel with detailed guidancefor performa]ice of each specific PMS requirement. TheMRC contains the following information and instructions:1. The identification of the System,Subsystem, or Component involved in the maintenanceaction.2. The MRC Code assigned to the card.This code is in two parts. The first part is the EquipmentCode adapted from the first portion of the numberidentifying the MIP for that card set in the Departmentaland Work Center PMS Manuals. The secondpart identifies the periodicity for the maintenanceaction, using a letter code for ~petitive time elementas follows:D -w -M -Q-s-A -c -R -DailyWeeklyMonthlyQuarterlySemi-annualAnnualOverhaul CycleSituation Requirement(1<strong>00</strong> hr., prefiring, priorto getting underway, etc.)The periodicity code also includes anumber for specific identity when more than oneMRC of the same penodicity exists in the same MRCset. When two or more MRCS in the same set areprepared for the same periodicity, but for separate,distinct job requirements, the cards will be numberedconsecutively e.g., “D-1”, “D-2”, or “M-l”, “M-2”,etc.3. When a single maintenance requirementhas need for more than one penodicity they willbe numbered as “Q-lR”, “M-lR”, “M-2 R”, etc.;the “R;’ in the case meaning “related,” indicates asituation that is defined in an accompanying note.Related maintenance requirements are maintenanceactions described on other MRCS within the sameset which are most efficiently accomplished whenthey are done prior to, in conjunction with, or after atask described on the basic MRC. For example, ifthe equipment is opened for a maintenance action,that MRC may list and identify other MRCS whichalso require equipment opening and, therefore, canmost logically and appropriately be accomplished atthis same time. The intent of related maintenance isto take advantage of work effort and to avoid repetitiousmaintenance steps. If no related maintenanceexists, the word “Non” will appear in this block.4. <strong>Maintenance</strong> Requirement Descriptionis a brief description of the PMS action to beperformed.5. Rate is the recommended skilllevel, identified by rate or Navy Enlisted ClassificationCode (NEC), designated to perform the describedmaintenance action. This information is providedas a management aid for workload assignment.6. The average manhours required toaccomplish the PMS task by each rate. The totalmanhours and total elapsed time are also listed.These times are expressed to the nearest tenth of anhour. “Make ready” and “put away” times are notincluded.7. Safety Precautions direct attentionto potential hazards to personnel or equipment whileperforming maintenance tasks. “Observe StandardSafety Precautions” is required in this block on everyMRC. These are two specific categories of additionalprecautionary conditions.

If Safety of Ship Items is included on anassociated Equipment Guide List, the MRC has both“SAFETY OF SHIP” and “EQUIPMENT GUIDE LIST”stamped on the face of card. Every effort has beenmade to indicate hazards in the safety precautionsblock and at appropriate steps in the proceduresblock; however, common sense, through safetyindoctrination and training of pemonnel maintainingand operating shipboard equipments, is stillrequired.9. A list of specific tools, parts andmaterials required to properly perform the maintenanceaction is given.10. Detailed step-by-step procedures tobe followed to accomplish maintenance actions aregiven. In some instances, cards will contain blankswhich must be completed by ship’s personnel in orderto supply the data (e.g., limiting speeds, tolerances,and pressures) necessary for the proper executionof the work specified. These data readings will varyfrom ship-to-ship.11. The System Command MRCControl Number in the lower right side is a LibraryIdentification Code. This number must be referencedalong with MRC codes in all correspondence pertainingto specific MRCS.12. A space is also provided for recordingthe location of a specific equipment aboardindividual installation, or for alerting maintenancepersonnel to the existence of EGLs.13. In most cases, the contents of theMRC is unclassified even though it may be applicableto classified equipment. In cases where classificationof an individual MRC is required due to content,the following entry is found in the “Procedure”block: “<strong>Maintenance</strong> Procedure with this requirementis CLASSIFIED. MRC is stowed in9,(Ship will fill in the blank.) The completed MRC isprinted on pink stock with the classification printed attop and bottom of each printed side and shall behandled in accordance with OPNAVINST 5510-1 series(Security Manual for Classification Information).14. The date on the card is the monthand year when the MRC was prepared.15. The MRC cards are to be used asfollows:a. A complete working group ofMRCS are to be located, in the holder provided, inthe work center area.b. <strong>Maintenance</strong> personnel are to removethe assigned MRCS from the Work Centercard container, obtain the required tools, parts, andmaterials listed on MRC, and perform the maintenanceaction as stated on MRC, observing all safetyprecautions.c. When compIeted, maintenancepersonnel should then correct and/or report anydeficiencies discovered during the performance of themaintenance action. Report the completion of themaintenance action to the Work center Supervisor,who will update the Weekly Schedule.d. The MRCS should then be returnedto the container after the job has beencompleted.2-2.2.1,3 Equipment Guide ListThe Equipment Guide List (EGL)is a 5- x 8- inch card that accompanies specific MRCSto list identical-type equipment to which preventivemaintenance task is to be performed. Identical-typeequipments, such as radar repeatm, power supplies,etc., are listed to show their quantity and location.For examPle, a particular ship may have eightAN/SPA-4A Radar Repeaters, and each repeaterrequires the accomplishment of the same preventivemaintenance task. The EGL is actually an extensionof the Cycle and Weekly Schedules. When EGLsare required, a Guide List Index (GLI) is also preparedlisting each EGL along with its controlling MRC.The index is included at the end of the List ofEffective Pages in the PMS Manual.2-2.2.1.4 Cycle ScheduleThe Cycle Schedule (OPNAV Form47<strong>00</strong>-4), shown in figure 2-4, is a visurd display of theplanned maintenance requirements that are to beperformed by shipboard personnel between majoroverhauls of the ship. “Between overhauls” is definedas “the time between a departure after overhaul andthrough the completion of the next major overhaul.”Most PMS requirements listed on the CycleSchedule are within the capability of the ship’s force.Occasions may arise where specicd test equipment,special tools, or outside assistance will be requiredin order to accomplish the required maintenance. TheCycle Schedule contains the name and hull numberof ship involved, the work center concerned, theeffective date of the schedule, the listings of the MIPsand their related systems, subsystems and componentsfor which the PMS requirements are to be scheduled.It also contains the schedules of the Semiannual,Annual, Cycle, and Situation Requirements. Cyclerequirements axe divided into “Quarters after Overhaul”for listing the Quarterly requirements, and Monthlyrequirements which have been scheduled in eachORIGINAL 2-7


MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCEquarter. Care and attention must be devoted to thepreparation of the Cycle Schedule as it has a directinfluence on the subsequent effectiveness of the longrange PMS scheduling by maintenance personnel.The procedure for filling out the Cycle Schedule isas follows:1. Type in the ship’s name and hullnumber in the upper left block and enter the date ofpreparation in the upper right corner. When a newcycle schedule is prepared, the old schedule must befiled with its applicable quarterly schedule.2. Type in the <strong>Maintenance</strong> GroupBlock, i.e., Raclio ITs, Radar ET. Indicate sheetnumber (e.g., 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3) when more thanone schedule is required.3. Starting with the first MIP in theWork Center Manual, list the Equipment Code in thefirst column titled “Equip Page” (that is, E-I,F-l,EL-4, A-l). When more than one of the same equipmentis located in the same Work Center, each mustbe entered as a separate line item. For example, twopower supplies are located in the same space; PS-1will be entered twice, on separate lines.4. From the MIP in the columntitled “Component,“ list the noun name or AN nomenclatureof each component. If more than one of thesame type equipment is located in the same WorkCenter, each will be identified separately using thestandard shipboard numbering system (i.e., Radio#l, Radio #2, ECM ##1, ECM #2, and including equipmentserial numbers). When a large number of similarequipments such as radar, power supplies, radarrepeaters, etc., are to, be maintained in accordancewith the same MRC, it is advantageous to use theEquipment Guide List method of accountability.The last line of the Cycle Schedule should be leftblank so that space will be available on the matchingQuarterly Schedule for the entry of ship’s operationalschedule, including space to make corrections withoutcompletely removing the previous operationalschedule.5. From the MIP, list each <strong>Maintenance</strong>Requirement for Monthly (M), Quarterly (Q),and Situation Requirement (R) in the column headed“Each Quarter.” Situation Requirement requirementsare listed here only as a reminder and will not bescheduled on a calendar basis. Daily (D) and Weekly(W) requirements are scheduled only on the weeklySchedule and are not listed on the Cycle Schedule.Calendar requirement which may be modified by asituation, such as A-2R, will appear in appropriate“Quarter After Overhaul” column. Pay particularattention to the “Related <strong>Maintenance</strong>” columnof the MIP. If any Semi-annual (S), Annual (A) orCycle (C) requirements are related, they shall be scheduledin the same “Quarter After Overhaul” column.6. From the MIP, list each Semiannual(S) maintenance requirement in one of the fourcolumns titled “Quarter After Overhaul,” then list thesame requirement to occur six months later. Forexample, an S-1 requirement scheduled to occur in the1,5 and 9 quarters shall also be scheduled to occur inthe 3, 7 and 11 quarters. Requirements in these fourcolumns should be staggered to ensure an even distributionof workload.7. From the MIP, list each Annual(A) maintenance requirement in one of the fourcolumns titled “Quarter After Overhaul.”8. From the MIP, list each Cycle (C)maintenance requirement, reviewing each to determineif a specific quarter after overhaul is indicated on theMIP. Ensure that all Cycle requirement have anappropriate quarter after overhaul indicated in parenthesisafter each entry on the cycle schedule. As anexample, C-1 (6) is a Cycle maintenance requirementscheduled to be accomplished in the 6th quarter afteroverhaul.9. Cycle Schedules for ships with overhaulcycles extending beyond 12 quarters will be preparedfor the entire overhaul cycle indicating 13, 14,etc., as necessary. Sbips with overhaul cycles less than12 quarters will schedule “Cycle Requirements” withinthe specified overhaul time frame. Ships encounteringdelays in entering overhaul shall extend their cyclescheduled by the addition of appropriate quarternumbers in the “Quarter After Overhaul” block.(Ensure cycle requirements required prior to enteringoverhaul are reviewed and rescheduled as necessary.)10. The completed “Cycle Schedule”sball be signed by the Department Head over the words“Scheduled As Indicated.”2-2.2.1.5 Quarterly ScheduleThe Quarterly Schedule (OPNAV form47<strong>00</strong>-5), shown in Figure 2-5, is a visual display of theship’s tentative operational employment schedule inconjunction with the !’MS requirements to be performedduring a three-montb period. This schedule is adirective issued by the Department Head and as suchmay be changed only by him or his authority. It isupdated weekly and provides a ready shipboardreference to the current status of PMS for each WorkCenter.

Thirteen columns, one for each week inthe quarter, are available to enable scheduling of maintenancerequirements on a weekly basis throughoutthe quarter. The procedure for filling out the QuarterlySchedule is given below.1. Enter the name of Work Centerconcerned in the space provided on the schedule.2. Enter the corresponding sheetnumber from cycle being scheduled (1 of 2, 2 of 2).3. Enter the cafendar months of thequarter to be scheduled, in accordance with one of thequarterly groupings shown below. Groupings otherthan those shown are not acceptable.JAN APR JUL OCTFEB MAY AUG NOVMAR JUN SEP DEC4. Enter the number of the “QuarterAfter Overhaul” in the space provided. For example:a ship completing major overbaul during August 1969will list the months of July, August and Septemberfor the first Quarter after overhaul schedule. Thesecond Quarter of the overhaul would then list themonths of October, November, and December. Whilein overhaul, ships must continue PMS whenever possible.Ships departing major overhaul late in the quafierare not expected to complete all planned maintenancescheduled during that quarter, but should accomplisha proportionate share based on the time remaining inthe quarter. When departure occurs within the lasttwo weeks of the quarter, ships will complete thatquarter to the maximum extent possible utilizing thecurrent quarterly schedule. The first quarter after overhaulin this case will then begin with the next quarter.5. Identify a date for the starting ofeach week. The main body of the Quarterly Scheduleis divided into thirteen columns; each column representsa week. Each column is further divided intoseven days by the use of check marks across the topof the columns. Write directly over the first checkspace of each week to identify the date of eachMonday.6. From the ship’s operational employmentschedule enter the following information:a. Across the top of the columnslightly shade in the days that the ship expects to beunderway.b. Across the bottom line of thecurrent Quarterly Schedule, write in the type of employment,corresponding to the dates indicated acrossthe top columns. (Upkeep, ASW, ISE, TAV, etc.)7. Place the new Quarterly Schedulenext to the Cycle Scbedule.8 From the Cycle Schedule, selectthe “Quarter After Overhaul” column correspondingto the current quarter. Penodicity codes listed in thiscolumn and the column titled “Each Quarter” willbe transcribed to the current quarterly schedule.The other columns on the cycle Schedule will notaffect the current quarter.9. Refer to the MIPs for a brief descriptionof the maintenance actions scheduled on thecycle schedule in order to determine if the actionshould be performed in port or at sea. Schedule therequirement on the Quarterly Schedule in the weekmost appropriate for accomplishment. Schedule aflrelated maintenance together.10. From tbe Cycle Schedule columntitled “Each Quarter” schedule all monthly andquarterly requirements into appropriate weeks of theQuarterly Schedule. Next, from the “Quarter AfterOverhaul” column, schedule all annual and semi-annualrequirements. The ultimate goal in scheduling theQuarterly PMS requirements is to ensure the completionof all necessary maintenance actions while maintaininga balanced workfoad within the frameworkof the ship’s operating schedule. When there arechanges in the ship’s operating schedule, maintenancerequirements may require rescheduling to fit the newoperating schedule.11. Schedule afl cycle requirements forwhich the number in parentheses matches the quarterafter overhaul being scheduled.12. The completed Quarterly Scheduleshafl be signed by the Department Head in the“Quarter After Overhaul” block. Fill in all header informationfor the next quarter on another QuarterlySchedule form and place it beside the current schedulein the holder. This provides continuity for schedulingand planning on a long-range basis. This QuarterlySchedule serves as a directive for Work Center Supervisorsfor scheduling weekly maintenance. At the endof each work week, the Work Center Supervisor willcross-out (X) all maintenance requirements on theQuarterly Schedule that have been completed and willcircle (0) afl requirements that were not accomplished.The Department Head is responsible for the reschedulingof all circled requirements, if they remain withinthe same penodicity (i.e., a monthly can only be rescheduledin the same month, a quarterly can only berescheduled within the same quarter, etc.). Any requirementwhich cannot be accomplished during the


MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-EI M-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCEcurrent quarter, in addition to being circled, shallbe identified on the back of the quarterly schedulewith the reason it was not accomplished. Other unaccomplishedrequirements shall be rescheduled foraccomplishment in the next quarter. The completedQuarterly Schedule is removed from the holder after theclose of each quarter and retained as a Planned <strong>Maintenance</strong>record. This record may be discarded byquarters, when the same number quarter after thenext major overhaul has been completed, thereby providinga complete cycle of history. <strong>Maintenance</strong> requirementsshall not be rescheduled on the subsequentQuarterly Schedule until the ship’s employmentschedule is known or until the last week of the currentquarter, whichever comes first.2-2.2.1.6 Weekly ScheduleThe Weekly Schedule (OPNAV Form47<strong>00</strong>/6), shown in Figure 2-6, is a visual display ofplanned maintenance scheduled for accomplishmentin a given Work Center during that week. The WeeklySchedule is posted in each Work Center and is usedby the Work Center Supervisor to assign and monitorthe accomplishment of the required PMS tasks by theWork Center personnel. It contains the name of theWork Center concerned, a listing of the systems, subsystems,and components assigned to the maintenancegroup of the Work Center, and the respective equipmentcodes. It lists the maintenance requirement to beperformed in a specific week, the names of the personnelassigned to individual maintenance actions, and theoutstanding repairs, PMS checks (Monthly and above),and known Situation Requirements due in the nextfour weeks. The procedure for filling out the WeeklySchedule is as follows:1. Type in the following informationfrom the current Cycle Schedule.a. Work Center identification, e.g.,Radio # 1 and corresponding cycle schedule sheetnumber (e.g., 1 of 2, 2 of 2).b. System, subsystem or componentand MIP number, line for line to match the cycleschedule.2. From the MIPs enter the recurringweekly and daily requirements. Weekly requirementsshould be entered on Monday to provide ease of rescheduling.Daily requirements must appear each day.3. Place clear plastic over the weeklyschedule.4. From the current Quarterly SchedtheWork Center Supervisor transposes all PMS requirementsand the date for the current week to theWeekly Schedule. Exercise care to ensure a balancedworkload, appropriate consideration of the week’soperating schedule, and that all related maintenanceactions are scheduled together. Review MIPs/MRCsand determine related maintenance requirements.5. Using information from theQuarterly Schedule, fill in the “Outstanding RepairsDue” column (right column) with known correctivemaintenance and all Monthly (and above) PMS requirementdue in the next four weeks. This shouldinclude all PMS Situation Requirements which maybe accomplished during that four-week period.6. Assign maintenance personnel, byname, to specific maintenance tasks. <strong>Maintenance</strong>personnel will then obtain their PMS assignmentsfrom the Weekly Schedule, obtain the required MRCcards, tools or material, and perform the maintenanceaction. They must report all completed maintenanceaction to the Work Center Supervisor. The WorkCenter Supervisor will then cross off all completedrequirements when reported and will circle the uncompletedrequirement for rescheduling as the workload and ship’s operations permit. At the end of eachweek, the Work Center Supervisor should bring theQuarterly Schedule up to date by comparing it to theweekly schedule, crossing out completed requirementsand circling requirements not completed. TheWeekly Schedule is then erased and the next week’sschedule prepared.2-2.2.1.7 <strong>Maintenance</strong> Control BoardThe <strong>Maintenance</strong> Control Board is aprefabricated aluminum holder that contains a CycleSchedule, a current Quarterly Schedule, and a subsequentquarterly maintenance schedule for each maintenancegroup. As its name implies, the <strong>Maintenance</strong>Control Board presents a readily available summary ofthe current and planned status of shipwide preventivemaintenance for all interested personnel.2-2.2.2 <strong>Maintenance</strong> DataCollection SystemThe <strong>Maintenance</strong> Data Collection System(MDCS) provides a means for recording the expenditureof resources (men, material and time)associated with certain categories of maintenanceactions. <strong>Maintenance</strong> personnel are provided a meansto record, at the source, designated informationpertaining to accomplishment of preventive or correctivemaintenance actions. It also provides a systemfor processing significant maintenance and logisticinformation, and disseminates the results in the formof technical information for maintainability /reliabilitystudies of operational equipment, and in theform of management information for improvingworkload planning and control.

Failureand corrective action information recorded on themaintenance action documents and the material usageinformation recorded on associated supply systemissue documents, is retrievable through this systemfor use in engineering analysis and developing maintenanceactions (deferred actions) and indicatingthe principal reason for the delays. This informationis also retrievable for use in maintenance problem andlogistic support analysis and for developing a CurrentShips <strong>Maintenance</strong> Project (CSMP) file which will assistin improving the planning and coordination of theship’s workload. For those maintenance actions whichhave been deferred because of a requirement for technicalskills or special equipment not available on boardship, the MDCS makes provisions for documenting awork request to an appropriate repair activity. Follow-UP reporting by these repair activities, upon completionof requested repair assistance, contributes significantlyto the detail and depth maintenance informationavailable for retrieval and subsequent use throughMDS. The reports and forms used in MDS are employedin the following subsections.2-2.2.2.1 PMS Feedback ReportThe PMS Feedback Report (OPNAVForm 47<strong>00</strong>-7), shown in Figure 2-7, provides a directline of communication, via the TYCOM, between themaintenance man and the Naval Material Command.The PMS Feedback is utilized to submit recommendedmodifications and revisions to PMS documentationand to request certain additional or replacementsoftware and hardware. In addition, it is used to suggestchanges to technical manuafs and to report or inquireabout other matters in connection with PMS.Instruction for completing and submitting reportsare printed on the back of the last copy of this fivepartform.2-2.2.2.2 <strong>Maintenance</strong> Data FormThe <strong>Maintenance</strong> Data Form (OPNAVForm 4790/2 K), shown in Figure 2-8, is a multipurposeform used to report the completion or deferral of amaintenance action or to request needed assistance.The data element that must be completed to reportany one of the categories of maintenance informationare grouped together in separate, clearly labeled sectionson the form, to simplify data recording and to facilitateAutomatic Data Processing (ADP). In additionto the standard data elements which are used for recordingall reportable maintenance actions, this formprovides special shaded sections for recording othernecessary data elements for maintenance actionsassociated with specially identified systems or equipments,or reports completed under certain uniquecircumstances.

Further, he may be requiredto perform the following duties:-.Figure 2-13. Sample NAVSUP Form 12502-22


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEAsEooo-oo-EInl-<strong>160</strong> MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS1. Carry out routine maintenance suchas lubrication and cleaning.2. Maintain an adequate, up-to-date,and accessible list of replacement parts.3. Log all the work performed on anequipment, including all significant measurementsthat are taken.2-3.2 TECHNICIANRESPONSIBILITIESA technician performs the tests, adjustments,and repairs that are beyond the ability of theoperator. A technician must do maintenance workthat involves internal alignment, disassembly, andcritical adjustment. He must perform tests and followprocedures as required by PMS and the technicalmanual.2-4 TROUBLESHOOTING FORCORRECTIVE MAINTENANCECorrective maintenance is the correctionof equipment troubles, whether this be the repair ofan equipment after a complete breakdown or the tuningand adjustment of an equipment necessary to restoreit to an operating condition. Before correctivemaintenance can be performed, operators and techniciansmust know that the trouble exists. Sounds likean erroneous statement? Numerous instances have occurredwhere obviously malfunctioning equipmentswere operating for hours, days, and even months withoutthe symptom of the malfunction being recognizedby either the operator or technician. Of course, nocorrective actions were taken.2-4.1 SYMPTOM RECOGNITIONSymptom recognition is the first stepin troubleshooting, and is based on a complete knowledgeand understanding of equipment operation andoperational characteristics. In many cases, this is theresponsibility of an operator even though he hasno technical background. For an operator to recognizea symptom of malfunction, he must be thoroughlyfamiliar with proper equipment operating techniques,and know the function of each mode and feature, evenof those rarely used. Symptom recognition may bedifficult under electronic countermeasures attack,but consider the probable consequences if correctiveaction was not taken, or the symptom was not reportedto a technician. In many cases, a mode changeor the adjustment of an operator’s control is all thatis needed. Not all equipments produce symptoms thatare easily recognized. This type of equipment troublemay then be discovered while performing preventivemaintenance under a planned maintenance program,such as PMS. It is important that the “not so apparent”as well as the apparent troubles be recognized.Operators who are not technically qualified technicianson the equipment they operate are still responsiblefor reporting a malfunction or a symptom to theelectronics technician.2-4.2 SYMPTOM ELABORATIONAfter an equipment trouble has beenrecognized, all the available aids designed into theequipment should be used to further elaborate on thesymptom. Use of front panel controls and otber builtinindicating and testing aids should provide betteridentification of the symptom. The equipment operationsection of technical manuals may serve as aguide.2-4.3 LISTING PROBABLEFAULTY FUNCTIONSThe next step in troubeshooting is toformulate a number of logical choices as to the basiccause of the symptom, or what function is at fault.The logical choices should be mental decisions basedon knowledge of equipment operation, a full identificationof the symptom, and information contained intechnical manuals. The overall functional descriptionwith associated block diagrams of technical manualscan help the electronics technician formulate logicalchoices.24.4 LOCALIZING THEFAULTY FUNCTIONLocalizing the faulty function isnormally accomplished by using the diagrams in technicalmanuals. For the greatest efficiency in localizingthe trouble, the logical choices should be testedby following the signal flow of a function through thediagrams in an order that will require the least time.If one test does not prove that a particular functionis at fault, the next choice should be tested, and so on,until the faulty tlmction or basic cause of the symptomis located.2-4.5 LOCALIZING TROUBLETO THE CIRCUITOnce the faulty function is determined,it may be necessary to make additional choices as toORIGINAL 2-23


MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCEwhich circuit, or group of circuits, is at fault. Again,the diagrams supported with these parameters areused, along with schematics and other test locationinformation that may be helpful in bracketing thefaulty circuit. If the trouble is not immediately apparent,test methods are then necessary to furtherisolate the fault. The most common test methodsare waveform analysis, voltage checks, resistancechecks, tube testing, and semiconductor testing.Briefly, they are explained in the following subsections.2-4.5.1 Waveform AnalysisWaveform analyses are made by observingvoltage and current variations with respect totime. The cathode-ray synchroscope is a device thataccurately displays the voltage variations with respectto a time-base that is synchronized internally by itaown circuits or externally by other synchronous signals.Numerous types of synchroscopes (commonlycalled oscilloscopes) are available, the required onebeing supplied with each equipment. The synchroscoperequired for particular types of tests is determinedby characteristics such as the bandwidth of the inputfrequency, the input impedance, the sensitivity, thesweep rate (time base), and the methods of sweepcontrol (synchronization).2-4.5.2 Voltage ChecksVoltage measurements, when comparedwith available voltage charts, provide a valuable aidin locating the trouble. However, the sensitivity ofsome test voltmeters differs from that of the voltmeterused to make the charts. In such cases, therewill be a discrepancy in voltage readings, and theymust then be evaluated before the true circuit conditionscan be determined. A voltmeter of low sensitivitymay disturb a circuit or even render it inoperative.2-4.5.3 Resistance ChecksResistance changes are often the causeof a malfunction and degraded performance. Thechange in a resistance can then be detected by measuringthe dc resistance with an ohmmeter between agiven point and a reference (usually ground). Point-topointresistance charts are provided in the technicalmanuals. Extreme caution should be used when makingresistance checks in transistor circuits as the transistormay be damaged by ohmmeter battery voltage.2-4.5.4 Tube TestingElectron tubes are more prone tofailure than are any other electronic component. It isunwise, however, to attempt to make a general tubecheck in an equipment containing a large number oftubes. Before tube testing is attempted, the area oftrouble should be localized as much as possible toavoid excessive tube testa. Only the tubes in a circuitjudged to be faulty should be tested along with tubesassociated with the faulty circuit. When replacing atube, equipment control settings should be notedbefore insertion of a new tube. A new tube shouldalways be tested for gas or for shorts before insertion.If, with the new tube, the equipment performs abnormallyand changing the control setting does notcorrect the trouble, the original tube should be reinserted,provided that it did not prove defective on a reliablechecker. Tubes should not be swapped atrandom, as the interelectrode capacitance of a tube isa factor in a tuned circuit, and indiscriminate swappingmay detune certain circuits. Also, sockets and tubeprongs are bound to be damaged from excessive swapping.2-4.5.5 semiconductor TestingTransistor, unlike vacuum tubes, arevery rugged in that they can tolerate vibration and arather large degree of shock, and under normaloperating conditions will provide for a long period ofdependable operation. However, transistors are subjectto failure when subjected to excessive temperature andminor overloads. To determine the condition of semiconductors,various test methods are available. In manycases it is possible to substitute a transistor of knowngood quality for a questionable one, and thus determinethe condition of a suspected transistor. Thismethod of test is highly accurate and sometimes expeditiousfor plug-in types. However, indiscriminatesubstitution of semiconductors in critical circuits is tobe avoided. When transistors are soldered into equipment,this substitution becomes impracticrd; it is generallydesirable to test these transistors in their circuits.Since certain fundamental characteristics are an indicationof the condition of semiconductors, test equipmentis available for testing these characteristics withthe semiconductors both in and out of their circuits.2-4.6 FAILURE ANALYSISAfter the faulty component, misalignment,etc., has been located, but prior to performingcorrective action, the procedures followed up to thispoint should be reviewed to determine exactly why thefault affected the equipment in the manner it did.This review is usually necessary to make certain thatthe fault discovered is actually the cause of the malfunction,and not just the result of the malfunction.2-24 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS2-5 ALTERATIONSAn alteration is any change in hull,machinery, fittings, or equipment which involveschanges in design, materials, number, location, or relationshipof the component parts of an assembly, regardlessof whether undertaken separately or togetherwith repairs. Changes in allowances of installed equipmentare alterations and should be so handled. Theword “approve” in connection with an alterationindicates the Command’s action on the proposedchange. Command approval is promulgated in lettersof technical instruction or SHIPALTS. Approvalalone, however, does not constitute authority to proceedwith the work. The word “authorize” is used tosignify the Command’s permission to proceed and thegranting of funds for a particular ship during a particularavailability. Alterations which affect the militarycharacteristics of a ship may be approved only by theChief of Naval Operations, who also establishes theirrelative priority for accomplishment. Alterationsother than those affecting military characteristics areapproved by the cognizant commands without referenceto CNO. In general, alterations of this type concernmatters of safety, efficiency, and economy ofoperation or upkeep (recorded in the OperationalImprovement Plan), and health and comfort of personnel(recorded in the Habitability ImprovementPlan). The command concerned is nsx.ponsible fordetermining whether military characteristics areinvolved. Alterations to vessels which are made necessaryby changes in armament or by changes in equipmentfurnished by other commands are under thecognizance of the Naval Sea Systems Command.2-5.1 SHIPALTSApproved alterations to ships under thecognizance of NAVSEA are known as SHIPALTS.Each quarter, these we listed according to priorities(A, mandatory; B, essential; and C, desirable), compiledas type priority lists, and forwarded to cognizantType Commanders for information. ~peCommanders are requested to review outstanding approvedalterations annually and initiate action to cancelthose no longer considered essential. Priority listsare also forwarded to the cognizant naval shipyardsfor guidance in advance planning; for proceeding withdesign, procurement, and installation work; and forresolving conflicting demands upon personnel andfacilities. In order to facilitate record keeping in thecase of multiple building programs, alterations orderedin ships under construction, which are also approvedas SHIPALTS for ships already delivered, are indicatedby including the ships under construction in the applicableSHIPALT. This facilitates the orderly accomplishmentof these alterations after delivery incase they are not completed during the constructionperiod. Items omitted from master lists are assignedappropriate priorities at the time work is authorizedfor applicable ships, or upon request. NAVSEA reviewsoutstanding SHIPALTS for an individual ship in advanceof its scheduled overhaul period and issues,not later than 180 days before such overhaul, a listof the alterations authorized for accomplishment duringthe overhaul. The list is based upon available fundsand equipment. The order of priority follows, as faras practicable, that of the type priority lists. The TypeCommander and the commander of the overhaulingnaval shipyard are requested to comment upon thislist. Upon receipt of their recommendations, NAVSEAmodifies, as considered desirable, the original list ofauthorized alterations. SHIPALTS are issued onNAVSHIPS Form 4720/4 (formerly NAVSHIPS 99).Upon completion of an alteration, Section IV of the recordmust be returned to NAVSEA with an endorsementreporting its completion and a statement to theeffect that the ship plans and technical manuals havebeen corrected to record the changes made.2-5.2 OR DALTSOrdnance Alterations (ORDALTS) providethe standard means by which naval activities arefurnished plans, instructions, and material for accomplishmentof alterations or modifications to navalordnance material in service or in store. An ORDALTinstruction states the specific conditions of applicabilityof the ORDALT and the method by which theORDALT is accomplished. An ORDALT set providesthe material necessary for the accomplishment of theORDALT. Whenever possible, ORDALTS will beprepared in such a fasbion that they are unclassified,and can be accomplished by forces afloat without theassistance of contractor field engineer except as follows:1. ORDALTS either too complex ortoo time consuming to be accomplished by forcesafloat will. be prepared, whenever possible, so thatthey are unclassified and can be accomplished by shipyardpersonnel during ship availability.2. In certain situations, contractorpersonnel (field engineers and/or installation teams)may be assigned to provide technical assistance or toaccomplish the ORDALT.ORIGINAL 2-25


MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCE2-6 FIELD CHANGESElectronic Field Changes provide operational,reliability, and maintainability improvementsto existing electronic equipment. In addition, assistanceis provided in the areas of installation, identification,and logistic support. These improvementa,which overcome deficiencies in design and material, areaccomplished after manufacture and deliveW to theNavy. Prompt accomplishment of all applicable fieldchanges is mandatory to the extent stated in theinstructions that accompany the field changes.2-6.1 CLASSES OF FIELD CHANGESThere are three class designations (A,B, and C) for field changes, one of which is assignedto each field change kit. They provide an abbreviatedmethod of indicating the funding and installation responsibility.A Class A field change requires no installationfunding. These field changes are approved for accomplishment(installation) by forces afloat or stationpersonnel on ship- or shore-installed equipment withoutfurther reference to the cognizant managementcommand, under conditions stated in the field changeinstructions. A Class B field change requires Fleet installationfunding (not applicable to shore-installedequipment except at training activities). Changes toshipboard equipment we approved for accomplishmentby naval shipyards or repair facilities withoutfurther reference to NAVSEA, under conditionsstated in the field change instructions, when authorizedby Type Commanders. Changes to equipment attraining activities are approved for accomplishmentand funded by the appropriate systems Command. meissuance of field changes which require Fleet fundingfor accomplishment is discontinued. Except for class Bfield changes presently under procurement in the supplysystem, or in lleet installation planning stage,this type of field change will no longer be issued.A Class C field change normally requires industrialassistance for installation, and requires the appropriateSystems Command installation funding. This classof field change includes, but is not limited to,changes of an operationtd improvement naturewhich are to be authorized and accomplishedby SHIPALT in the Modernization Plan. Changesto equipment at training activities are approvedfor accomplishment and funded by the appropriateSystems Command.2-6.2 TYPES OF FIELD CHANGESA ~pe I field change consista of thepublications material (field change bulletins and publicationcorrections) and all parts, materials, and specialtools required to accomplish the change to oneequipment and to revise existing equipment nameplates,publications, and charta. A ~pe H field changeconsists only of publications material required toaccomplish the change to the equipment and to reviseexisting equipment publications and charts. The publicationsmaterial may be promulgated in the form ofthe bulletins and correction material, or by means of apublished article. Type II changes may require theparts be requisitioned from stock. A Type III fieldchange consists of the publications material (fieldchange bulletins and publication corrections) and onlya portion of the parts, materials, and special toolsrequired to accomplish the change to one equipmentand to revise existing nameplates, publications andcharts. A Type IV field change consists of only publicationsmaterial required to accomplish the fieldchange to the equipment and to revise existing equipmentpublications and charts. The Type IV fieldchange information will be in the form of a publicationpackage, but may be promulgated in advance by meansof a published article such as in the ElectronicInformation Bulletin (EIB). Type IV field changes donot require the use of parts, materials, or specialtools.2-6.3 RECORDING AND REPORTINGACCOMPLISHMENT OF FIELDCHANGESThe recording and reporting of fieldchanges shall be in accordance with the instructionsin the Field Change Bulletin..-2-26 ORIGINAL

If there is any doubt as towhether the supply circuits have been deenergized, theyshould be checked with a voltmeter or voltage tester.Make certain that the power supply filter capacitom areshorted and grounded using an approved groundingprobe. Check the wiring diagram also to determine ifthere are any other capacitors that should be dischargedby connecting their terminals to each otherand to ground by means of a shorting probe. An exceptionto the rule for deenergizing the equipment may bemade when it is necessary to observe operation. In thiscase, observe the safety precautions necessary toprevent shock or arcs which might start fires, igniteexplosive vapom, or be injurious to the health ofpersonnel. Refer to articles contained in <strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong> <strong>General</strong>Handbook, NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-1OO, Section 3,for general electronic safety precautions.3-2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCERoutine maintenance is the applicationof special procedures of inspection, cleaning, andlubrication of an equipment or system on a scheduledbasis in order to keep an equipment or system at themost reliable and efficient operating level at all times.3-2.1 CLEANING AND INSPECTIONA regular schedule of cleaning andinspection will go far toward ensuring trouble-freeoperation and the detection of incipient faults beforethey develop into a major source of difficulty. Cleaningprocedures are given in most electronic equipmenttechnical manuals and reference standards books.Where definite times for cleaning and inspection arenot specified in the instructions given in the applicabletechnical manuals for the equipment, each shipshould set up a schedule or periodic cleaning andinspection at intervals sufficiently short to keep theequipment ready for service. In setting up such aschedule, the following points should be considered:1. All electronic equipment must becleaned to assure good performance; such cleaning isnot for appearance only.2. Steel wool or emery in any formshall not be used on or near electronic equipment.3. Sandpaper and files should not beused except as a result of competent advice.4. A vacuum cleaner with a nonmetallicnozzle and adequate dust receiver shouldbe used whenever practicable.i% Solventa are to be used only whenabsohkely necessary and then only after proper safetyprecautions have been taken.6. When cleaning, care must be exercisedto avoid damaging components.Dirt and foreign matter, if allowed tocollect on heat-dissipating components, act as thermalinsulators which prevent internally created heat fromdissipating into the air. When this occurs, the electroniccomponents thus affected operate at abnormallyhigh temperatures. This condition shortens the life ofthe component and thus precipitates a breakdown ofthe electronic equipment itself. Periodic cleaning ofthe interior of radio transmitted or other equipmentsemploying high voltage is particularly important.Potentials in excess of 3<strong>00</strong>0 volts are often presentin these equipment, and dust on insulatom or otherhigh-voltage components forms a convenient path forarc-overs and consequent damage. In addition, amixture of dust and lubricant forms an abrasive whichcan cause considerable damage to moving parta.3-2.1.1 Ultrasonic CleaningUltrasonic cleaning is rapidly becomingan accepted method of cleaning various shipboardelectrical and electronic hardware. Properly appliedand intelligently used, ultrasonics will do a more thoroughcleaning job than any other method presentlyknown. For cleaning jobs, the utility of this tool islimited only by the size or weight of the part andingenuity of the person using it. As with any new tool,attention must be given to understanding the tool—how it works and how to make it work effectively.Basically, two things are required for any efficient andsatisfactory cleaning operation: the cleaning solution,and the method. Cleaning solutions are either waterbasedsolutions or solvents. The method is how thesolution is applied: hand scrubbing, soaking, spraywashing, or ultrasonic cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaningutilizes both chemical and physical action. The properORIGINAL 3-1


ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSNAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>GENERAL MAINTENANCEsolutions are selected first to loosen the chemicallybonded material. Ultrasonic cavitation of the solutionthen loosens the mechanically bonded material (dirt).Cavitation is a phenomenon in which vacuum bubblesare rapidly generated and violently collapsed in asolution. As these bubbles collapse, they exert a scrubbingforce against the surface of the part placed in thesolution. Detergenta play a large part in ultrasoniccleaning. Addition of a detergent to water decreasesthe amount of energy dissipated in cavitation. Additionof a wetting agent also accelerates degassing of thesolution. Some of the initial energy is consumed indegassing air from the solution before maximum cavitationis achieved. The air bubbles formed during degassingact as an energy sink which reduces the energygenerated by the ultrasonic transducer. Detergenta areof three basic types: alkaline, acidic, and solvent.Alkaline detergents generally consist of such alkaliesas caustic phosphates, silicates, carbonates and surfaceactive agenta. Cleaning solutions on board submarinesmust be limited to alkaline solutions to avoid atmosphericcontamination. A satisfactory cleaning job cangenerally be done with alkaline detergenta. Acids andsolvents may be used in shipyard and repair ship ultrasoniccleaners if the material used for the cleaningtank, drain valves, and piping is stainless steel ormonel. <strong>General</strong>ly, the solution that is best for cleaningthe part by conventionrd methods (soaking, flushing,and rinsing) is also best when using ultrasonics. To doa good cavitating job, cleaning solutions must meetthe following conditions:1. Their density must be about thatof water or a little higher.2. They must have a relatively lowvapor pressure at the working temperature of the bath.3. They must remain thin-bodiedand nonviscous at operating temperature.These three characteristics-density,volatility, viscosity—are important from the standpointof cavitation. Sonic energy levels are down to approximatelyone-sixth capacity in chlorinated solvents andone-tenth capacity in fluorinated solvents as comparedto water-based solutions. In addition, the followingconditions also affect cleaning:4. Length of time in the ultrasoniccleaner (usually 15 minutes maximum).5. Temperature of solution.6. Height of solution (depth ofimmersion).7. Type of rinse (pressurized sprayis preferred type).8. Cleanliness of solution.9. Types of cleaning fixtures used(baskets, subtanks, wire hangers, etc.).10. Position of part (area to becleaned should be completely submerged in solution).11. Line voltage fluctuations.12. State of cleaning solution (newor used).For components saturated with oil,presoaking in a hot detergent solution in a separatetank is highly recommended. This method removesexcess surface dirt and oils, thus lengthening the lifeof the ultrasonic cleaning solution and recirculationsystem filter. When a cleaning job requires a strongercleaning solution than is normally used, or a solutionthat is not compatible with materials used in the ultrasoniccleaner, a small subtank or container should beemployed. The subtank material should be compatiblewith the cleaning solution. The subtank containing thesolution should be suspended in the cleaning solutionin the ultrasonic tank so that the bottom of the subtankis at least several inches away from the bottom ofthe ultrasonic cleaning tank. (The top of the subtankmust remain above the weaker cleaning solution inwhich it is partially submerged.) Glass beakers withcracks should not be used as a subtank because theultrasonic action will break the cracked container. Theloss in cleaning efficiency with a subtank is negligibleif the wall thickness of the subtank is equivalent to thewall thickness of the ultrasonic tank. Due to thesmaller amount of cleaning solution required, thismethod is less hazardous to operating personnel, anddumping the dirty solution is less of a problem. Highlycaustic cleaning solutions should not be kept in theultrasonic cleaner beyond the time required for a particularcleaning job. After dumping the cleaning solution,the drain system of the ultrasonic cleaner shouldbe flushed with fresh water. Copper drain pipe andbrass drain valves will be eroded by any standingcaustic cleaning solution. For the same reason, aluminumparts or components should not be cleaned inhighly caustic solutions. The amount of air trappedin the cleaning solution affecta the intensity of cavitationand cleaning ability. Some of the initial energywill be consumed in degassing air from the solutionbefore maximum cavitation is achieved. Ultrasonic agitationwill effectively degas liquids; however, thebubbles formed during degassing act as an energy sinkthat may rob a transducer of energy. Therefore, a newor stagnant solution must be degassed before fullultrasonic cleaning efficiency is realized. The time normallyrequired for degaasing detergent solutions isapproximately 15 minutes; fresh water may require asmuch as 30 minutes. Ability to recognize the degassedcondition for the various cleaning solution% comeswith experience. Flushing or rinsing the cleaned partis extremely important in the overall ultrasonic3-2 ORIGINAL

The detergent keeps the particles ofcontamination suspended in the cleaning solution.When the cleaned part is removed from the ultrasonictank, it becomes recontaminated by these suspendedparticles. Therefore, flushing or rinsing of the cleanedpart is required to remove these loose particles. Rinsingshould be in the direction opposite to the normal fluidflow through the filter. True cleaning is assured onlyby flushing or rinsing. Ultrasonics tdone is not thecomplete answer to cleaning problems, but it is auseful tool in the overail cleaning system. Since thetype and degree of contamination vary even for thesame application, no fixed process can be specifiedfor all conditions.3-2.1.2 Ultrasonic Cleaning ofModular AssembliesThe choice of ultrasonic cleaningequipment should be governed not so much by thetransducer type as by the intensity of cavitationneeded to perform a given task, and the reliability ofthe equipment under conditions of rigorous fielduse. A typical ultrasonic cleaning unit is one in whichthe frequency of the ultrasonic oscillator is approximately20,<strong>00</strong>0 Hertz. The amount of energy requiredby the transduce to reach this threshold of cavitationis naturally dependent on the efficiency of thetransducers, as well as the acoustic properties of theliquid, the frequency, the temperature, the presenceof standing waves, and other factors. For example,a good rule of thumb in selecting the proper generatoris to multiply the capacity of the tank (number ofgallons) by a quantity of 50 to 70, to derive therequired power in watta. After selection of the ultrasoniccleaner and solution (see Table 3-1) for a particularcleaning task, follow the procedural stepsbelow, in the sequence given.1. Place the contaminated assemblyor parts (in a wire-mesh basket or suspended on a wirehook) into the cleaning emulsion contained in theultrasonic cleaning tank, and energize the ultrasonicequipment.NOTEOnly baskets that are specificallydesigned for ultrasoniccleaning should be used. Suchbaskets are available fromequipment manufacturers.Avoid the use of small mesh,which has the tendency tocut down on the amount ofultrasonics.2. Leave the immersed assembly orparts in the cleaning solution for approximately 2 to3 minutes (depending on the amount and type ofcontamination).NOTEUse immersion heaters toheat the solution to a suitabletemperature, depending onthe type of solution used.3. Remove the assembly or partsbeing cleaned from the ultrasonic cleaning tank, andflush with fresh water (preferably warm or hot).4. Drain the cleaning emulsion fromthe cleaning tank, and refill the tank with fresh water.5. Place the assembly or parts (in awire-mesh basket or suspended on a wire hook) intothe tank of fresh water, to remove the remainingcleaning emulsion.6. Remove the assembly or partsfrom the fresh water bath, and blow as much waterm possible from the cleaned parts with dry, filteredair at no more than 50 lb/in2 pressure.7. Spray all surface areas with awater-displacing fluid.8. After spraying, allow approximately20 minutes for the water-displacing fluid topenetrate the crevices and combine with the remainingwater.9. Blow the residual mixture ofwater and water-displacing fluid from the assemblyor parts with dry, heated air from a portable electricblower, or place into an air-drying circulating oven.The electronic equipment can now bereinstalled and operated after drying and check-outof the unita and components. If the equipment cannotbe returned to operational condition, it should besprayed again with the water-displacing fluid, and thedrying process repeated.WARNINGOperating personnel shouldnot immerse their hands inultrasonic baths over longperiods of time, since someburning of skin tissue mayresult.Although ultrasonic cleaning is not acure-all for cleaning electronic assemblies, whenORIGINAL3-3

Also, ultrasonic cleaning units providea degree of cleanliness that could not be obtainedpreviously by other techniques.3-2.1.3 Cleaning Solvent HazardsThe technician who smokes while usinga volatile inflammable cleaning solvent is invitingdisaster. Unfortunately, many such disasters haveoccurred. For this reason, the Navy does not permitthe use of gasoline, benzine, ether, or like substancesfor cleaning purposes. Only non-volatile solventsshafl be used to clean electrical or electronic equipment.In addition to the potentiaf hazard of accidentalfire, many cleaning solvents are capable of damagingthe human respiratory system in cases of prolongedinhalation. Inhibited methyl chloroform (1, 1, 1, trichloroethane)should be used where water compoundsare not feasible. Methyl chloroform has a thresholdof 5<strong>00</strong> parts per million (ppm) in air, whereas carbontetrachloride has a threshold of 25 ppm. The thresholdis the point above which the concentration in airbecomes dangerous. Methyl chloroform is an effectivecleaner and about as safe as can be expected whenreasonable care is exercised. Care requires plentyof ventilation and observance of fire precautions.Avoid direct inhalation of the vapor. Inhibited methylchloroform is not safe for use with a gas mask sincethe vapor displaces oxygen in the air. The followinglist of “Dos” and “Don’ts” will serve as effectivereminders to maintenance technicians who must usecleaning solvents.to blow air into a compartment in which a cleaningsolvent is being used.2. Open all usable port holes andplace air scoops in them.3. Don’t work alone in a poorlyventilated compartment.4. Place a fire extinguisher nearbyand ready for use.5. Don’t use solvents in the presenceof any open flame since this may lead to the formationof phosgene gas, which is very poisonous.6. Don’t use carbon tetrachloride asit is a highly toxic compound.7. Don’t apply solvents to warm orhot equipment as this increases the toxicity hazard.8. Don’t directly breathe the vaporof any cleaning solvent for a prolonged period.9. Use water-based compounds inlieu of other solvents wherever feasible.10. Wear rubber gloves to preventcoming in direct contact with the solvent.11. Wear gloves when spraying solventon permissible surfaces.12. Hold the nozzle close to theobject being sprayed.13. Don’t spray cleaning solvents onelectrical windings or insulation.For additional information on the safetyprecautions to be observed when using so[vents, seeNAVSHIPS Technical Manual NAVSEA 59086 -WK-STM-OOOICH-670.3-6 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-<strong>00</strong>-EIO.I-<strong>160</strong> ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSL3-2.1.4 Cleaning of Air FiltersSome air filters used on naval electronicequipment are designed to be installed witha film of oil on the filter element. Filters of thistype provide effective filtration with a minimumreduction of air flow. When this type of filter is usedwithout an oil coating, as is done in many ships, thefilter effectiveness is greatly reduced. The majordisadvantage of the oiled filter is in cleaning. Thisdrawback may be overcome by washing the filterelement in a standard shipboard dishwashing machine(if an air filter cleaning room or area is not provided).No special procedures are necessary, although dirtyfiIters may require two washings. The manhoursused in cleaning equipment air filters, and oilingwhen required, will he more than regained in improvedreliability of the equipment.

Widespread use oftransistors in equipment design results in less space inwhich heat can he dissipated, thereby causing anever-increasing environmental temperature in whichthe transistor must operate. The transistor is completelydependent upon its ability to absorb and dissipateinternally generated heat while operating at theincreased temperature which it has generated. Forthis reason, heat-dissipating devices, referred to as heatsinks, are being utilized to increase the heat-dissipatingcapability of the transistor and to prevent transistorfailures due to excessive heat. Transistor heat sinks aredesigned to utilize the natural methods of conduction,convection, and radiation in order to reduce the transistorcase and junction temperatures and therebyincrease the overall reliability of the transistor. Toobtain maximum transistor life, it is of utmost importancethat the transistor temperature be kept withinits design tolerance. Therefore, all transistorized equip.ments should be inspected on a routine basis to ensurethat heat sinks are free of any accumulation of dust ordirt, that air filters are clean, and that proper air flow ismaintained either from natural sources or by forcedairsystems.3-2.2 LUBRICATIONElectronic equipments which utilizemoving mechanical parts require periodic lubrication.Failure to lubricate jeopardizes the useful life ofthe mechanical part and thus precipitates a breakdownof the electronic equipment. It is essentialthat maintenance personnel be thoroughly familiarwith the Lubrication requirements of the equipmentsfor which they are responsible. Proper lubrication ofthe mechanical components in electronic equipment isemphasized in technical manuals and in referencestandards books.3-2.2.1 Lubrication of Ball BearingsImproper greasing procedures are afrequent cause of derangements to rotating electricalmachinery provided with grease-lubricated ballbearings. The trouble is generally caused by forcingan excessive quantity of grease into the hearinghousing, with either one or both of the followingresults:1. Grease is forced through the bearinghousing seals and onto the windings and, in the caseof DC machines, onto the commutators where it causesdeterioration of insulation and eventually results ingrounds or short circuits.ORIGINAL 3-7


ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSNAVSEASEOOO-OO-ElM-<strong>160</strong>GENERAL MAINTENANcE2. The excessive quantity of pressureof grease in the bearing housing results in churning,increased temperatures, rapid deterioration of thegrease, and ultimate destruction of the bearing.The following instructions apply generallyto all equipment except oil-lubricated bearings,synchros, and similar devices where friction must bemaintained at an absolute minimum, and equipmentfor which approved lubrication charts or other specificinstructions are furnished by the Navy.3-2.2.1.1 Greasing3-2.2 .1.1.1 Grease CupsMotors and generators provided withbearings that should be lubricated with grease are nownormally delivered from the manufacturer with thegrease cups removed from the bearing housings andreplaced with pipe plugs. The grease cups, however, aredelivered with the onboard repair parts or special tools.It is recommended that grease cups be attached toelectric motors and generators only when the bearingsare being greased. When the grease cup is removed fromthe bearing housing after a bearing has been greased,the hole which remains should be plugged with asuitable pipe plug. When this procedure is used, thegrease cups should remain in the custody of responsiblemaintenance personnel and can be stored in the workshopor toolroom. This procedure is particularlyadvantageous when the motors and generators maintainedby a particular group of maintenance personnelneed only relatively few different sizes of grease cups.This procedure should also be followed for motors andgenerators which have been supplied with grease cupsattached to the machine.NOTECare should be taken to makesure that a grease cup is cleanbefore it is used to add greaseto a bearing, and that thepipe plug used to replace thegrease cup after greasing isalso clean.A typical grease-lubricated bearing isshown in Figure 3-1.3-2.2 .1.1.2 Selection of GreaseThe grease used for grease-lubricatedball bearings should be selected as follows:1. Bearings which normally operateat a temperature of 194“F (90 “C) or below should belubricated with grease in accordance with MilitarySpecification MIL-G-18709.Figure 3-1.Grease-Lubricated Ball Beariligs2. Bearings which normally operate ata temperature above 194‘F (90 “C) should be lubricatedwith a silicone grease in accordance with MilitarySpecification MIL-L-15719. Machines which requirethis special grease have a caution plate stating “USEHIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE” which is attachednear the grease fitting by the manufacturer.3-2.2 .1.1.3 Adding GreaseBearings on new machines are properlylubricated when they leave the factory. The frequencywith which grease must be added depends upon theservice of the machine and the tightness of the housingseals, and should be determined for each machine bythe engineer officer. Ordinarily, the addition of greasewill not be necessary more often than once in sixmonths. The use of excessive quantities of grease isto be avoided because it causes bearing failures. When abearing housing is too full of lubricant, the churning ofthe grease generates heat which in turn causes deteriorationof the grease. Under these conditions the greaseseparates into oil and minute abrasive particles,becomes increasingly sticky, and tends to seal thebearing against fresh lubricant until the resultingfriction, heat, and wear cause failure of the bearing.To avoid the difficulties caused by an excessive amountof grease, add grease only when necessary.d3-8 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSLWhen grease is added, it should be doneas follows:1. Wipe outside of grease fitting anddrain plug free of all dirt.2. Remove bearing drain plug, andmake sure the passage is open by probing with a cleanscrewdriver or similar implement.3. Remove pipe plug on top ofgrease pipe. Select proper grease cup and cleanit thoroughly. Install bottom portion of greasecup on the grease pipe. Put in the top portionof the grease cup no more grease than will halffill it.4. Empty and clean out the receptaclesof the grease fitting down to the neck, then fillwith clean grease.5. Replace the grease cup and screw itdown as far as it will go.6. Run the machine and let greaserun out of drain hole until drainage stops (normallyabout 30 minutes). Remove grease cup and replacepipe plug.7. Replace the drain plug.8. Do not use a grease gun to lubricatebearings unless there are no other means available.If a grease gun must be used, remove the drain plug inthe bearing housing while greasing and use extremecare to avoid inserting too much grease or applyingmore than just enough pressure to get the grease intothe housing.3-2.2 .1.1.4 Renewal of GreaseWithout Disassemblingthe Bearing HousingRemoval of grease without at leastpartial disassembly of the bearing housing is notrecommended. In any case, renewal of grease withoutat least partial disassembly of the bearing housingshould not be attempted unless the following conditionsapply.1. The machine is horizontal.In vertical machines, there is no adequate meansof protecting the windings against displacedlubricant.2. A suitable fitting is provided foradmitting grease. If a grease-gun fitting is provided, itshould be replaced by a grease cup.3. The drain hole on the bearinghousing is accessible. Drain pipes do not permit satisfactoryescape of displaced grease, and should beremoved when renewing grease.NOTEThe machine must be capableof being run continuouslywhile renewing grease. If themachine cannot be run continuouslyduring the greasingperiod without injuring thedriven auxilia~ or endangeringpersonnel, the bearinghousing must be disassembledas described in paragraph3-2.2 .1.1.5 to renew grease.If the above conditions apply, the greasemay be renewed in assembled bearing housings by thefollowing method:1. Run the machine sufficiently towarm up the bearings.2. Wipe any dirt away from the areaaround the grease fittings.3. Remove the drain plug and drainpipes from the drain hole in the bearing housing.4. With a clean wire, screwdriver, orsimilar implement, clear the drain hole of all hardenedgrease.5. Remove the grease cup and clearthe grease inlet hole of hardened grease.6. Fill the grease cup with fresh, cleangrease, reinstall the cup and screw it down as far as itwill go. Keep the machine running continuously.7. Repeat steps (4) and (6) above untilclean grease begins to emerge from the drain hole.8. At this point it is important tostop inserting grease and allow the machine to rununtil no more grease comes out of the drain hole.9. Clean any drain pipes which havebeen removed, and reinstall the pipes.10. Install the drain plug.NOTEBe careful to keep grease fromreaching the electrical windings.The emergence of alarge quantity of greasethrough the shaft extensionend of the housing indicatesexcessive leakage inside themachine.‘ -ORIGINAL 3-9


ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSNAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>GENERAL MAINTENANcE3-2.2 .1.1.5 Renewal of Grease with theBearing Housing DisassembledThe extent of disassembly necessary willdepend upon the construction of the bearing. For theusual construction which uses bearings with outerbearing caps, the following method should beemployed:1. Remove the outer bearing cap afterthoroughly wiping all exterior surfaces.2. Remove old grease from all accessibleportions of the housing and clean these partsthoroughly. Be careful not to introduce dirt or lintinto the bearing housing.3. Flush out the bearing cap withclean, hot (about 120 “F) kerosene, diesel fuel oil, ordry cleaning fluid (Federrd Specification P-D-680).FOI1OW this by flushing out with a light mineral oil(not heavier than SAE1O, similar to diesel lubricatingoil, N.D. Specification 14-0-13 symbol 9110).4. Where practicable, plug all holesleading into the intenor of the machine and flush outthe complete housing with the outer bearing capremoved. Use the solvents and procedures describedin the preceding paragraph. This should not be doneon equipment where the conditions are such that thecleaning fluids may leak into the windings. In suchcases, omit this step.5. Drain the mineral oil thoroughly;then pack housing half full with fresh, clean grease,and reinstall the outer bearing cap.3-2.2 .1.1.6 Oil-Lubricated Ball BearingsSome electric motors and generatorsmay be equipped with oil-lubricated ball bearings.Lubrication charts or special instructions are generallyfurnished for this type of bearing and should be carefullyfollowed by personnel maintaining the equipment.In the absence of other instructions, the oil levelinside the bearing housing should be maintainedapproximately level with the 1owest point of the bearinginner oil ring. This will provide enough oil to 1ubncatethe bearing for a considerable operating period,but not enough to cause churning or overheating.One cGmmon method by which the oil level is maintainedin ball bearings is the wick-feed method. In thismethod, the oil is fed from an oil cup to the insideof the bearing housing through an absorbent wick,which also filtem the oil and prevents leakage throughthe cup in the event that momentary pressure is builtup within the housing. A typical wick-fed, oil-Iubricated ball bearing is shown in Figure 3-2.3-2.2.2 Lubrication of Sleeve BearingsWhen lubricating sleeve bearings, proceedgenerally as follows:Figure 3-2.Wick-Fed Ball Bearing1. Take every precaution to keep theoil and bearings clean and free from water or foreignparticles.2. Do not add oil while the machine isrunning. This affords an opportunity for oil mist orspray to escape from the bearing housing and be blownon the machine windings.3. Bearings having an overflow gageshould be filled until the oil is about one-sixteenthinch from the top of the gage. If the machine is equippedwith an oil filler gage, the gage should be tilled tothe manufacturer’s oil level mark, or (if no mark isavailable) the gage should be between two-thirds andthree-quarters full at all times. Be sure that the gageglass and piping to the gage are clean or the glass willgive false indications of the oil level. If the bearing hasneither an overflow gage nor an oil filler gage, fill itto a level such that the oil ring dips into oil to a depthof about haJf the shaft diameter.4. When the bearing and bearinghousing are in good condition, there should be noloss of oil. If the proper oil Ievel cannot be maintainedwitbout adding oil, it is probable ‘that oil is leakingfrom the bearing. Be sure the oil sight gage connectionto bearing is tight. Much of the oil that leaks out of abearing is drawn into the machine by the cooling airand sprayed onto the windings where it causes oilsoakeddirt to collect. This condition tends to causeinsulation failure. If oil leakage is suspected, carefullyclean and chalk the shaft outside the bearing, the outsideof the bearing housing, and the parts of the rotoradjacent to the bearing. If the machine is throwing3-1o ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSLoil, discoloration of the chalk will so indicate after ashort run. (This test is not dependable unless thechalked part is made perfectly clean at the beginningof the test.) If leakage is found, the labyrinth seal inthe bearing housing should be corrected to make iteffective. Another possible source of leakage is fromthe vent with which some labyrinths are provided.Make sure that any such vent is not stopped up andthat it vents into still air at atmospheric pressure, andalso where there is no current of air over the vent thatwill suck oil out of the bearing housing or oil vaporout of the vent into the machine. Such oil leakage isoften due to overfilling the bearing or trying to fillthe bearing through the vent.5. Bearing oil should be renewed semiannually.Drain the oil off by removing the drain plug,then flush the bearing with clean oil until the drainedoil flows clean.3-2.2.3 Types of LubricantsThe correct choice of a lubricant forelectronic equipment is important, especially if theequipment is being operated under adverse conditions.To assist in the selection of the correct lubricant, thefollowing lubrication charts are provided.Chart 1 (Table 3-3) lists all lubricantsspecified in MIL-L-17192 (SHIPS) (NAVY), Militaryspecifications of lubncanta, and lubrication informationfor electronic equipment. Many electronicstechnical manuals and their associated publicationsrefer to many of these lubricants by Military Symbols.These symbols, where applicable, are added to thechart for cross-referencing.Chart 2 (Table 3-4) provides cross--referencing between the old and new MilitarySpecification designations assigned to lubricants aslisted in Federal Supply Catalogues.Chart 3 (Table 3-5) provides MilitarySpecification designations and Federal Stock Numbersfor those lubricants listed in electronics publicationsby the “Manufacturer’s Designation.”Chart 4 (Table 3-6) provides a listingof those lubricants which are used in electronicsequipments and are listed in electronics publicationsbut not listed in MIL-L-17192 (SHIPS).3-2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTSON ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENTIt is beyond the scope of this subsectionto present all the problems encountered from environmentalconditions, because individual methods ofinstallation and stowage of electronic equipmentsdiffer from ship to ship, and from one Naval shorestation to another. However, some of the preventiveand corrective measures that should be takenunder adverse environmental conditions, and theeffects on the equipment subjected to theseconditions, are described in the followingparagraphs.3-2.3.1 TemperatureThe cooling or heating of air spacessurrounding the components of electronic equipmentis generally accomplished and controlled byblowem, fans, hot oil and water coolers, etc., eitherto dissipate the heat generated by the equipmentcomponents, or to heat or cool the surroundingambient air. Regardless of the method employed forthe cooling or heating of spaces, if maintenance personnelneglect to keep the screens, filters, fans, ducts,surface area of coolers, and equipment free fromforeign matter, the heating or cooling will be greatlyaffected, which may result in equipment damage ormalfunction caused by improper temperature control.Extremely low temperature may cause brittleness incertain types of metals, and loss of flexibility inrubber, insulation, and similar materials. Extremelyhigh temperature may cause deformation and deteriorationof terminal boards, seals, insulation, andheat-sensitive devices. Rapid changes of temperaturemay be especirdly damaging to certain types of electroniccomponents.3-2.3.2 HumidityHigh humidity, the “arch enemy” ofelectronic equipment, with its resultant damage toequipment components from condensation and fungusgrowth under conditions of both high salt-laden moistair and high temperature, is normally found in tropicalclimates. In this case, adequate ventilation of theequipment is of the utmost importance to protect theequipment components from entrapped moisture andextremely high operating temperatures. To overcomeany adverse effecta on electronic equipments, mcwimumand minimum temperature gradients should becontrolled by one of the cooling or heating mediumsprovided. In many cases, critical electronic componentsare encapsulated, potted, or sealed to protect themfrom the detrimental effects of moisture and temperaturevariations. However, sealing the component .does not completely eliminate the problem of highhumidityconditions because the seals sometimesmust be broken for maintenance or repair work. Thereis also the possibility that the maintenance technicianwill not always have the suitable sealing compoundson hand to repair or replace sealed components. Wherethis condition exists, except in cases of emergency, therepair or replacement of sealed components shouldnot be performed in the field.ORIGINAL 3-11

New or repaired modular assembliesand parts are received in accordance with theapplicable packaging specification. When the outerbulky casing (crate or carton with its Kimpak, Reliso-Pak or similar material) is removed, the unit (or units)remains packaged in a water-vaporproof bag. Thispackage should be stored intact until drawn for use asa replacement item by the maintenance technician.3-2.3.4 Standby EquipmentEquipment that is to remain idle anddeenergized for a considerable length of time shouldhave its space heaters (if provided) turned ON to keepthe insulation and equipment dry. If space heaters arenot provided for the equipment, electric lamp bulbsor a portable electric heater as a temporary measurecan be placed within or near the equipment. This isespecially important in humid or cold climates. Heatersshould cycle/go off when main power is secured.3-2.3.5 Corrosive AtmosphereA corrosive atmosphere can causeserious damage to unprotected electronic equipment.For this reason, the maintenance technician should becognizant of the harmful effects of all corrosive elements.He must be especially aware of the effects producedby salt sp~y or salt-impregnated air. To preventcorrosive effects, a regular periodic cleaning scheduleshould be established. This schedule should includedusting and cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, andthe application of approved solvents or wetting agentsto remove any accumulation of foreign matter, such assoil, dust, dirt, oil film, salt-impregnation, etc. Inaddition, all access doors and panels should be fastenedsecurely and in place when no maintenance work isbeing performed on the equipment.3-2.3.6 Barometric Pressure EffectsElectronic equipment installed in aircraftor submarines is often subjected to severe changesin barometric pressure. To overcome any adverseeffects on the equipment, pressurization of individualcomponents by use of pressurized chambers is oftenemployed. These components are hermetically sealedto prevent variations in barometric pressure, and are3-16 ORIGINAL

Therefore, the maintenancenot attempt to repair such items.NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>or nonrepairabletechnician should3-2.3.7 Vibration and ShockVibration effects are directly relatedto the resonant mechanical frequency of the equipmentconcerned. Vibration caused by loosening ofparts, or relative motion between parts, can produceobjectionable operating conditions such as noise,intermittent circuit malfunctions, short circuits, componentelectrical overload or burnout, and equipmentfailure. Mechanical shock caused by impacts or highacceleration or deceleration can result in extensivedamage to, or derangement of, the electrical equipment.In order to maintain and minimize the detrimentaleffecta from shock or vibration, shockmountingand anti-vibration devices of various typesand sizes are being employed in shipboard installationsto isolate the component-s and equipments from theirmountings. Each device has its own place in the fieldof isolation; the selection of isolators depends uponspecialized requirements and tolerance to the environmentalconditions in which they must operate. Shockmountand anti-vibration devices are relatively simplein their design and construction and require littlemaintenance. Conditions of service and age and thecondition of the equipment differ from ship-to-ship.Consequently, it is impracticable to provide a rigidschedule of inspections and tests, However, certaingeneral requirements and precautions must be takenand observed to ensure that the mounting clips, shockmounts,ground straps, and associated hardware aresecured and are in place. Precautions must be takento ensure that paint, oil, solvents, and other types oforganic material are not applied to or allowed tocome in contact with the resilient surface area of ashock-mount. If allowed to do so, this will result inloss of resiliency, deterioration, and premature failureof the resilient member of the shock-mount.3-3 MAINTENANCE AIDSROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSmaintenance and repair; their various usages will bediscussed with regard to safety of personnel and propermaintenance and stowage of the took..3-3.1 SOLDERING TOOLSThree groups of soldering tools are usedin electronic maintenance. Each group is designed to beused for the particular job at hand, such as heavy duty,light or generaJ duty, and intricate soldering duty onsuch items as semiconductors, printed circuit boards,and modular assemblies used in electronic equipment.3-3.1.1 Soldering IronsSoldering irons are used for heavy dutytypes of electronic work such as unsoldering heavyconnections and tinning surface. There are two types ofsuch irons: a plug tip, and a thermostatically controlledscrew-in tip. These irons are shown in Figure 3-3 andthe tips used with each type iron are listed in Table 3-7.DIAMETER(INCH)A*2 PERCENT1/43/81/25/87/8Table 3-7.

There are two types ofsuch guns. Type I utilizes a transformer and a solidcopper wire tip; Type II does not have the transformerand uses a straight, solid copper, screw-in tip. The twotypes of guns are shown in Figure 3-4; the tips for eachtype gun are listed in Table 3-9.3-3.2 SPECIAL HAND TOOLSFor successful installation, repair, andmaintenance of electronic equipment, the electronicstechnician must have not only a high degree of mechanicalskill and dexterity, but also a thorough knowledgeof the proper selection and use of tools. Mostfaults in electronic maintenance cannot be correctedwithout the use of tools. The ease and efficiency withwhich a repair can be made is often a direct functionof the tool selected to perform a given task. In the performanceof their duties, maintenance personnelshould be provided with, or have access to, at least oneeach of the basic tools listed in the Electronics ToolAllowance List, and should also have access to thespecial hand took discussed in the following subsections.3-3.2.1 PunchesPunches (shown in Figure 3-5) oftenprove useful in electronics work. Punches usually providedin the electronics shop are the center punch,starting punch, pin punch, aligning punch, gasketpunch, and various types of chassis punches.1. The center punch is used to make apunch mark for starting a drill. The point of this punchis carefully ground to an angle of 60 degrees, which isthe same as the angle of a standard twist drill. Drillswill start more quickly and have less tendency towander if they are started in a punched hole.2. The starting punch is used to knockout rivets after the heads have been cut off. It is alsoused to start driving out straight and tapered pinsbecause it can withstand the heavy hammer blowsnecessary to break the pin loose and start it moving.This punch is made with a long, gentle taper extendingfrom the tip to the body of the punch.3. The pin punch is made with astraight shank and is used to follow-up on the jobrequiring a starting punch. After a pin has been partiallydriven out with a starting punch, which is limitedin use because of its increasing taper, the pin punchwith its slim shank is used to finish the job. The pinpunch should never be used as a starting punch becausea hard blow may cause the slim shank to bend orbreak. The largest size pin punch that will fit intothe hole should always be used. The pin punchshould never be struck with a glancing blow as itmay break the punch and broken pin punches maybe difficult to remove from the hole.4. The aligning punch is generallyfrom 12 to 16 inches in length and has a long taper.This punch is used for moving or shifting plates orparts so that corresponding holes will line up. It shouldnever be used as a pry bar.5. The hollow shank gasket punch isused for cutting holes in gaskets and similar materirds.The cutting end is tapered to a sharp cutting edge tomake clean, uniform holes. The material to be cutshould be placed on a soft background such as lead orhardwood so that the cutting edge will not be damaged.6. The scratch awl, or metal scribe,is also in this category of tools. It is used to marksoft metals and can serve as an alignment tool.Punches are made of tool steel, tempered and hardenedat the point. A punch should never be used towork on extremely hard metals or remove bolts byforce because its point will be dulled.7. The chassis punch provides a quickmethod of cutting round, round-keyed, square, or “D”shaped holes in steel up to 16-gauge in thickness.These punches are made of tool steel and are operatedby screw action to provide clean-cut holes. The roundchassis punches are available in sizes ranging from 1/2to 3 inches in diameter. To use the chassis punch, ahole slightly larger than the punch screw size must bedrilled in the material at the center of the hole to becut. The punch must then be disassembled. The cuttersection has two cutting edges located symmetricallyfor balance and is threaded to receive the bolt (punchscrew). The bolt is inserted through the die section andthen through the drilled hole in the material. The boltis then screwed into the cutter until it is “finger tight.”A wrench of the proper size to fit the bolt headis then used to turn the bolt clockwise until the cutterhas completely cu. through the material. After thehole is made, the punch must be disassembled againand the metal. removed from the die. The edge of thehole in the material should be smoothed and deburredwith a half-round file.3-3.2.2 TapsThe tap is a tool employed for cuttingthreads to receive a machine screw. These threads arecut into the sides of a hole which has been drilled forthe root (minor diameter) of the screw. The tap isnumbered the same as the screw; i.e., if a No. 5-40screw is to be used, a No. 5-40 tap is used to cut thethreads in the sides of the hole. There are three stylesORIGINAL 3-19

The taper tap diameter willgradually increase in size and may be used when thework permits the tap to be run entirely through thehole. The plug tap, whose first few threads are chamfered,will produce threads afmost to the bottom ofa hole. When threads are required to the very bottomof a hole, the plug tap is used and then removed andthe bottoming tap is used since it will cut through tothe bottom of the hole. The tap is held in a specialholder known as the tap wrench. There is the straighthandle type and the T-handle type wrench. The threestyles of taps and the two types of tap wrenches areshown in Figure 3-6.3-3.2.3 DiesThe die is a thread-cutting device usedto cut threads on outaide surfaces, whereas taps areused to cut threads on inside surfaces. Dies are madeto cut right-hand or left-hand threads and are found ina variety of forms. There are adjustable round splitdies for screw and bolt threading; square solid diesfor hose fittings; hexagon solid dies for dressing overbruised or rusty threads; and various types for pipethreading. The die-holder is called a die stock. A dieand die stock are shown in Figww 3-6.3-3.2.4 ReamersA reamer is used to make a true circularhole, or to enlarge a hole. Unless a hole has been drilledperfectly true, it will be slightfy eccentric or slightlyoversize. There are various styles of reamers such as thesolid spiral, solid straight and the tapered hand reamerused in sheet metal work for enlarging or correctingsmall holes to the desired size. The various styles andtypes of reamers are shown in Figure 3-6.3-3.2.5 CountersinksA countersink is a reamer which is usedto bevel the edges of a hole. It is generally used in theelectronics maintenance shop to countersink screw holesso that flat-head machine screws will be flush with thechassis surface. The countersink is found in many anglesand the one selected should have the same angfe as thehead of the flat-head machine screw being used. In anemergency, a drill twice the diameter of the screw holemay be used. A countersink is shown in Figure 3-6.3-3.2.6 Rotary Cutting ToolsRotary cutting tools commonly used inelectronics work (Figure 3-7) are: the circle cutter, therotary hacksaw, and the caxbide cutter. These tools areused to cut large circular holes from 1 to 5-1/2 inchesin diameter in materiaf up to 1 inch in thickness.3-3.2.6.1 Circle CutterThe circle cutter (commonly crdleda “fly-cutter”) is used in a drill press to cut large holes.It consists of a body provided with a square taperedbitstock shank, fitted with a replaceable l/4-inchstraight diameter shank twist drill and an adjustableround bar carrying a renewable cutter bit. To use thecircle cutter, determine the size of hole to be cut anduse the following procedure:1.

There are varioustypes and styles of wire and thread gauges in usetoday. The most common types of these gauges areshown in Figure 3-8.3-3.2.7.1 Wire GaugesThe wire gauge is used to determinethe size of a wire. It is usually circular in shape withnotches around its edge and an adjacent number. Touse this gauge, insert the wire into the smaflest notchthat will accept it and note the corresponding number.3-3.2.7.2 Thread GaugesThe thread gauge is used to determinethe number of threads per inch of a screw. It consistsof a number of leaves attached to a handle. The leavesare accurately machined on one edge to conform tothe standards of the cross-sectional shape of the screwthreads they are made to measure. The threads perinch of a screw are determined by placing the screwagainst each leaf of the gauge until the threads of thescrew exactly match those of the leaf. The markingsof this leaf indicate the number of threads per inch.3-3.2.8 Wire StrippersWhen preparing wires for terminationsand connections, the removal of the insulation withoutdamaging the conductor is of prime importance.

The first type is the simpler of the two, andis especially useful for stripping insulation in tightquarters. To use it, place the end of the lead into thecutting groove of the stripper; hold the wire in onehand, the stripper in the other hand and pull downwards,away from the cutting edges of the groove. Thesecond type is used when stripping many wires. Whenusing this type of wire stripper, place the wire into thecorrect groove to avoid cutting the end off the conductorinstead of stripping off the insulation.3-3.2.9 Tube PullerThe tube puller shown in Figure 3-10is used to pull a hot tube without waiting for it tocool down.

Some of these publications areas vital to intelligent maintenance as is test equipment.In general, publications are available from the U.S.Naval Publication and Forms Center, Philadelphia.However, before requisitioning such material, considerationshould be given to the equipment installed, themission of the ship or activity, the purpose of anddistribution policy for the individual publications, andthe available stowage space. Because it is essentialthat reference material be as current and accurate aspossible, publication changes and corrections should beentered as they become available. For example, if thecurrent issue of the EIB corrects information appearingin an earlier issue, the earlier issue should bechanged. If the change affects other publications(techniczd manual, field change bulletin, and partsallowance list, for instance), these also must be corrected.The changes must be legible and accurate. Ifno page is furnished for recording completed changes,some method for recording these changes should bedevised. One method is to make notes in the marginof the new material to indicate the publications inwhich the change has been entered. By assigning tospecific individuals the responsibility for making allchanges in designated publications, and by checkingtheir entries from time to time, the ElectronicsOfficer will do much toward eliminating the possibilityof his crew using incorrect repair information. In orderthat an activity’s file of publications may be kept upto date, current issues of the Naval Ships TechnicrdNews, the EIB, and the Index of Forms andPublications (NAVSUP 2<strong>00</strong>2) should be examined forinformation on the availability of handbooks, finaltechnical manuals, revision supplements, and changespertaining to the equipment on board.3-3.3.1 Naval Ships Technical ManualThe Naval Ships Technical Manual is themost complete and authoritative reference availableon NAVSEA equipment. This manual is issued as aninformative and comprehensive guidance to Navalpersonnel, afloat and ashore, who are responsible for,or engaged in, the installation, operation, maintenance,and repair of equipment under cognizance of theNaval Sea Systems Command.3-3.3.1.1 ScopeThe manual contains administrative andtechnical instructions not included in the U.S. NavyRegulations or other publications of higher authoritybut which are deemed necessary for a clear understandingof the requirements of the technical work andequipment under the cognizance of the Naval SeaSystems Command.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSNAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>GENERAL MAINTENANCEprocedure provides a method of turning on the equipmentwhen the normal procedures fail due to internalmalfunctions. The procedure normally is used whenproblems occur during the normal turn-on proceduresor the equipment is shut down due to overloading. Theprocedures are helpful in localizing primary powermalfunctions to an area on a troubleshooting diagramfrom which circuit tracing can be started. The relay,lamp, and protective device indexes provide a listingof these items by reference designation. For each itemthe functioned name, energizing parameters, and directreference to an appropriate troubleshooting diagramare included. Troubleshooting procedures support thetroubleshooting diagrams. These procedures guide thetechnician in the logical order of isolating a fault todefective items within each equipment function. Thisinformation directs the technician to observe meters,fuses, circuit breakers, valves, built-in test equipmentand other available indications showing the presenceof trouble. Troubleshooting diagrams consist of signalflow diagrams, power distribution diagrams, pipingdiagrams, control diagrams, logic diagrams, maintenanceschematic diagrams, and dependency diagrams,as required. Signal flow diagrams, the most significanttroubleshooting aid, consist of detailed block diagramsillustrating the functional development of each majorfunction from its ongin to its output. The flow pathbegins with one or more initial inputs and proceedsthrough each unit, assembly, and subassembly influencingthe signal flow. All check or test points necessaryto isolate the trouble to lowest level hardware blockare highlighted. Test equipment setup and testparameters are provided to define satisfactory operation.Either fault logic diagrams or maintenancedependency matrix charts are included in this chapter.These troubleshooting aids enable the lesser trained orless experienced technician to isolate malfunctions ofthe equipment.CHAPTER 6 – CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCEThis chapter contains instructions,within the ability of the electronics technician, toadjust and align the equipment, remove, repair andreinstall and align all repairable parts and modules,subassemblies and assemblies. These instructionsidentify the action to be accomplished, safety precautionsto be observed, tools, parts, and test equipmentand materials required. It lists preliminary controisettings, test equipment set up instruction, and step-bystepinstructions with supporting illustrations toaccomplish the maintenance task. This chapter isusually broken down into two sections, alignmentand repair.CHAPTER 7 – PARTS LISTThis chapter lists and identifies allshipboard, tender and shore-based repair parts andattaching hardware.

Advance,preliminary, or temporary technical manuals maybe furnished where a delay in completing the finalmanual is anticipated. As a general rule, returnpostcards are included under the front covers ofthe manuals. These cards provide a ready meansfor informing Contractors of where the completedfinal manuals are to be sent. To ensure receipt ofthe final manuals, the postcards should be filledin and returned promptly. Advance, temporary,and preliminruy publications are to be destroyedupon receipt of final technical manuals, as indicatedin the promulgating letter in the final books. If themanuals to be destroyed are classified, disposal mustbe in accordance with existing regulations coveringthe destruction of classified material. The instructionswhich accompany changes to technical manualsindicate the desired disposition of materhd removedfrom the basic publications.3-3.3.3 Functionally Oriented<strong>Maintenance</strong> ManualThe differences between a FunctionallyOriented <strong>Maintenance</strong> Manual (FOMM) and a conventionalmanual aw: the use of color, unique diagramingtechniques, and the maintenance dependencycharts. Color is used to define hardwae boundaries,show functional entities, and show control locations.A functional entity may be a piece part, piece partsformed into a circuit, a group of circuits, or a majorfunction. Hardware boundaries are shown as shades ofgrey. When a unit, assembly, and subassembly areshown on the same diagram, the lightest shade of greyrepresents the unit, the next darkest shade of greyrepresents the assembly, and the next darkest shade ofgrey represents the subassembly. A diagram showingan assembly uses the lightest shade of grey to representthe assembly and darker shades for subassemblies.Functional entities are shown within shades of blue.The lightest shade of blue may represent a single functionalentity, or a functional entity with two or moresubfunctional entities within the next darkest shade ofblue. Front panel controls are shown in white boxeswithin black borders. Internal controls are shown ingrey boxes that represent the proper hardware level.The white and grey boxes are shown within blue shades,whenever possible. Diagraming is the heart of tbeFOMM, not because of the pretty shades of blue andgrey, but because of the functional diagramingtechnique. Each diagram, whether it be overall function,major function, or blocked schematic, is functionallyreduced until it fits on one right-hand page.Functions removed from the main diagram are placedon the following right-hand pages. Each diagram on aright-hand page becomes the focal point for troubleshootingand repair information. Diagrams and theircorresponding maintenance dependency charts(MDCS), or fault logic diagrams (FLDs) are used fortroubleshooting. MDCS are preferred. FLDs are usedwith major functional diagrams containing complexdigital circuitry. The maintenance dependency chartdisplays the sequence of power or signal flow in theequipment. Each horizontal line displays an event suchas a lamp lighting, a relay energizing, or an availabilityof a signal or voltage. Symbols on the event linesindicate the functional entities, circuit elements, orprevious events that the event is dependent on. Thesymbols are located within the vertical columns, whichidentify the functional entities and circuit elements.When an event or signal availability is not pwsent,the previous events, signal availabilities, functionalentities, and circuit elements on which the event isdependent can be readily ascertained. An event boxindicates input or output signal or indication. Nomenclaturein the event box specifies the type of actionand availability of the event. A black event box withwhite lettering indicates front panel observable. Awhite event box with black lettering indicates a circuitpoint at which an event or availability may bemeasured. The circuit identifier codes and all symbolsused on the diagrams and maintenance dependencycharts are shown in tabular form with an explanationof their meanings in each manual. In order to usediagrams and maintenance dependency charts effectively,the technician must familiarize himself with symbolsused and their meanings. The FOMM providessupport, and troubleshooting and repair informationfor a particular equipment or system. For convenience,support information is separated from troubleshootingand repair information by volumes. Depending on thesize of the FOMM, volumes may be further subdividedinto parts.VOLUME 1 – SUPPORT INFORMATIONThe support volume includes frontmatter and sections entitled: general information,operation, theory of operation, scheduled maintenance,installation, and parts list. This volume uses8% x n-inch pages.FRONT MATTERFront matter consists of conventionalinformation and a functional index..ORIGINAL 3-29

Overall alignment procedures adjustand align all adjustable parts including interactingadjustments.3-30 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-<strong>00</strong>-E IM-<strong>160</strong> ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAND MAINTENANCE AIDSMAJOR FUNCTION INFORMATIONThe major function information consistsof a diagram, keyed text, and maintenance dependencychart or fault logic diagram. Major function diagramsfall into four general categories: analog, logic, powerdistribution, and ground/return. The diagrams are constructedto show the functional flow of signals throughunits with their piece parts, assemblies, and subassembliesas they are connected in the major function. Thediagrams, with their MDCS, are used to isolate a faultyassembly or piece part within the major function. Akeyed text is used to describe the major functiondiagram. The major function MDC matches the signalflow through the major function diagram.HARDWARE INFORMATIONA separate hardware information packageis made for each unit. When the unit blockedschematic diagram is too large for a 11 x 17-inch page,a separate hardware information package is made forone or more of the unit’s assemblies. The same techniqueis used for assemblies and subassemblies. Ahardware information package consists of a blockedschematic diagram, a keyed text, an MDC, alignmentand repair data, parts data, and a wiring diagram orwire list. Blocked schematic diagrams are constructedto show the functional flow of signals through functionalentities of a unit, assembly, or subassembly.A functional entity is two or more parts grouped intoa circuit, or a separate piece part. The diagrams, withtheir MDCS, are used to isolate a faulty functionalentity. Voltage information on the diagram is usedfor fault isolation within functional entities containingvacuum tubes or transistors. A keyed text is used todescribe the blocked schematic diagram. The hardwareMDC matches the signal flow through the blockedschematic diagram. Alignment and repair containsprocedures used for access, and to return the equipmentor system to normal operation after correctivemaintenance. Parts data contains part location diagramand a parts list. A wiring diagram is a pictorial presentationof point-to-point wiring. A double-entry wirelist may be substituted for a backplane wiring diagram.3-3.3.4 Electronics installationand <strong>Maintenance</strong> BooksThe Electronics Installation and<strong>Maintenance</strong> Books (<strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong>) is a series of authoritativepublications which provide field activities with informationon the installation and maintenance of electronicequipment under the technical control of the Naval SeaSystems Command.

The EIBcontains advance information of field changes, installationtechniques, maintenance notes, beneficial suggestionsadopted by various yards and bases, and notificationof technical manual and <strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong> revisions andchan~s with the latest applicable data and stocknumbers. Unless otherwise indicated, the maintenancerequirements prescribed in the various issues of theEIBs are consistent with those contained in thePlanned <strong>Maintenance</strong> System. All articles, includingthose under the cognizance of Naval ElectronicSystems Command (NAVELEX), have been authenticatedand are authoritative in nature. Accordingly,reference may be made to a particular issue of theautbority for adoption of ideas contained therein.Nothing in the EIB publication authorizes interfacechanges between equipment and systems, or betweenequipment and ship. Articles of lasting interest arelater transcribed into the <strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong> except for fieldchanges and corrections to publications. EIBindexes (A and B) are distributed automaticrdly asa change to the <strong>General</strong> <strong><strong>EIM</strong>B</strong> handbook,NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-1OO. EIB indexes (A and B)provide a comprehensive listing of articles published inthe EIB and identify the EIB in which each articleappears. Index A lists, by equipment type numberand/or name, articles pertaining to specificequipments (i.e., AN/SPS-10, LS-458/SIC, MK 23MOD 3 GYRO COMPASS, TACAN, TED-1,TEKTRONIX TYPE 316 OSCILLOSCOPE, etc.). Thisindex is prepared using an automatic data processingsystem with a basic columnar sort sequence, and,therefore, many entries are not in their true numericsequence. For example: R-1051/URR precedesR-390/URR and AN/SPA-33 precedes AN/SPA-4.Field changes are identified by “FC > ’ following theequipment type numbers, i.e., R-390 A/URR-FC-5.Index B lists, by subject, all articles of generalinformation not pertaining to specific equipment (i.e.,Coxial Lines-Prevention of Corrosion Due to SaltSpray on).34 SOLDERING ANDREPAIR SKILLSThe majority of modem electronicequipment incorporate small (miniature) or verysmall (microminiature) components. Such componentsrange in size from large-scale integrated circuits(LSI) to the now familiar transistor. Because of their sizeand composition, mostminiature and micro-componentsare heat sensitive, and many are static sensitive. The technicianmust develop the proper soldering skilk to servicethese componentswithoutdamaging them. The followingsections will aid the technician in developing suchskills. Prior to performing any microminiature repair,the technician must have acquired general highreliabilitysoldering skills. Section 4 will therefore bedevoted to discussing these essential skills.

Electronics equipments aboard ship are subjectedto continual vibration and frequent shock.Therefore, it is imperative that all soldering be donewith the utmost care.4-2 SOLDER TYPESSolder is a metal alloy consisting of twoor more metals used in various percentages to formthe solder alloy. The alloy most widely used in electronicssoldering consists of TIN and LEAD withoutspecial additives. The most common TIN/LEADsolder alloys are 60/40 and 63/37. TIN/LEAD solderalloys are always given as a percentage with the TINcontent listed first; that is, 60/40 solder consists of60% TIN and 40% LEAD. The TIN/LEAD fusiondiagram (Figure 4-1) shows a plot of various TIN/LEAD solder alloys versus temperature. Note thatat 361“F all TIN/LEAD solders (from 15/85 to 95/5)change from a solid to a plastic (partird liquid) stateexcept one. An alloy which has a single sharp meltingpoint and changes directly from a solid to a liquidwith no plastic state is called a EUTECTIC alloy.The only TIN/LEAD solder alloy with eutecticcharacteristics is 63/37, as the diagram indicates. The63/37 solder is known as Eutectic Solder. An overallLI / \ I60140EUTECTIC POINTFigure 4-1.TIN/LEAD Fusion DiagramORIGINAL 4-1


SOLDERING TECHNIQUESNAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>GENERAL MAINTENANCEevaluation of Figure 4-1 diagram reveals that differentalloys reach full liquid state at different temperatures.It also reveals that as solder is heated, it passes from asolid state through a plastic state and then into a liquidstate, with the exception of the eutectic point at whichno plastic state exists. The most critical area of concernduring a soldering operation is the time-temperaturerange during which the solder is in a plastic state. Whilein this plastic state the solder is a combination of liquidTIN/LEAD alloy with solid pure metal crystals ofeither TIN or LEAD. Any physical movement of thesolder itaelf, while cooling through the plastic state,will permanently damage the structure of the solderalloy, resulting in a fractured solder connection. Forthis reason, eutectic solder (63/37) is the best generalpurpose, high-reliability, electronics solder. Although60/40 solder is less acceptable for electronics soldering,it has the advantage of forming a slightly stronger jointthan does the 63/37 solder. It has, however, the disadvantageof lying in the plastic range from 361 “F to370 “F, with the attendant chance of fractured solderconnections.4-3 SO LDERIPJG FLUXThe purpose of soldering flux is toremove surface oxides from metals to be soldered. Allmetals oxidize when exposed to air. The process ofoxidation causes a thin film of oxide, which is nonmetallic,to form on the surface of the metal. Goodmetal-to-metal contact must be obtained beforesoldering action may take place, but the oxide filmprevents this contact and must be neutralized orremoved. Soldering flux chemically breaks down surfaceoxides, causing the oxide film to loosen andcome free from the metals being soldered. Thesefluxes may be divided into three general types orclassifications:1. Chloride (commonly called“acid”) type flux.2. Organic type flux.3. Rosin or resin type fluxes.Each group of fluxes has characteristicsspecific to that group. The chloride fluxes are inorganicsalts and are the most active of the three fluxgroups. They are not suitable for electronics solderingsince they are highly corrosive, usually electricallyconductive, and are difficult to remove from tbeworkpiece. The organic fluxes are nearly as active asinorganic fluxes, somewhat less corrosive, but areunsatisfactory for shipboard electronics solderingbecause they must be removed completely to inhibitcorrosion. Rosin-type flux is ideally suited toelectronics soldering due to its unique characteristics.Inert at normal temperatures, flux becomes highlyactive at soldering temperatures. This characteristicmakes rosin totally noncorrosive, except at solderingtemperatures. Resin fluxes are rosin-based, with additivesthat change some of the characteristics of thepure rosin flux. To attain highest reliability in makingelectronics solder joints, the use of flux is a necessity.Flux is available as both an external agent and as anintegral part of the solder. As an external agent, theflux is applied to the connection by hand prior tosoldering. Externsd fluxes range from a very thinliquid to a thick, heavy paste. Most paste fluxes containzinc chloride as an activating additive. If zincchloride has been added, it will be so stated on thecontainer. (NOTE: Fluxes containing zinc chloride mustnever be used as they are corrosive.) Nearly all electronicssoIder in use today contains flux as an integralpart of the solder by making the solder with anintegral flux core. However, it is often highly desirableto use an external flux, even when also using a fluxcured solder. Two types are recommended:1. Kester Solder Co., No. 1544with No. 104 thinner.2. Alpha Metals Co., No. 711 withNo. 412 thinner.Although solder forms an actual intermetallicbond with solderable metals, it does not doso by fusion, as in brazing or welding, where all metalsto be bonded are molten and fused together. Thewetting action of solder lies in the degree of ease andcompleteness with which the solder spreads over thesurface of the metal being soldered. The completenessof the wetting action is measured by the tangentangle where the solder meets the surface of the metalbeing soldered. A very small angle is an indication ofthorough and complete wetting. A large angle formedby a sphere or bubble of solder (similar to a drop ofwater on a waxed surface) is an indication of poorwetting action and may involve an unsatisfactory“cold solder” joint. The completeness of the wettingaction is one of the prime indicators of quality andreliability when inspecting a solder joint.4-4 METALLIC PLATINGSIt is the function of metallic platingsto protect the associated metal from oxidation, and toassure the solderability of normally non-solderablemetals. Non-solderable metals are used to closelymatch the thermal expansion of glass seals on capacitors,transistors, diodes and other electronic components.Plating on this type of lead is normally gold,44-2 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> SOLDERING TECHNIQUESwhich is very porous, and is applied relatively thickly.Care must be taken not to remove the plating from thistype of lead.4-4.1 CHARACTERISTICS ANDFABRICATION OF AQUALITY SOLDER JOINTThe physical appearance of a qualitysolder joint shall be as follows:1. Smooth, shiny, mirror-like surface.2. Free of pits, protrusions, or otherblemishes.3. No base metal showing at anypoint.4. Smooth, concave fillet at all pointsof contact.5. Complete wetting action whichshall show no distinct inlets at the edge of the solderedarea.Also the solder must wet and flowsmoothly over afl surfaces, with no sharp edge orridge at any point. The preferred quantity of solderforms a smooth, concave fillet from a point haff-wayup the side of the lead. The contour of the wire shouldbe clearly visible through the solder. (If stranded, theindividual strands must he visible. )4-4.2 RECOGNITION AND CAUSESOF SOLDER JOINT DEFECTSCommon defects include: dirty solderjoint due to lack of good wetting; cold solder jointsdue to dewetting around all or most of the connections;and small protrusion or tip of solder where thesoldering iron was removed. Fractured or disturbedsolder joints are usually semi-shiny with good wetting.A prime indication is a spiderweb or cracked, fissuredappearance. In an overheated solder joint, the surfaceis quite dull, with a rough, grainy appearance. A“dead” solder joint is crusty, wrinlded, and a very darkdull color.4-4.2.1 Causes of Common DefectsDirty solder joints are caused by oxidationor other foreign matter interfering with the wettingaction. Cold solder joints are caused by insufficientheat or poor heat transfer to the joint. Fracturedjoints result from physical movement of the joinwhile the solder is in the plastic state. An overheatedsolder joint is caused by excessive heat for too long atime. Dead solder is due to extreme overheat and isgenerally only found on the tip of a soldering ironwhen the iron is not in use.4-5 INSTALLATION ANDSOLDERING OF COMPONENTS4-5.1 COMPONENT POSITIONINGProper positioning of a component onthe board is as follows:1. In repair, replacement componentsshould always be installed in conformance with theoriginal configuration.2. Component bodies shall be centeredbetween the lead mounting points wheneverdesign permits.3. Replacement components shall bemounted so as to make afl possible identificationmarkings readable without disturbing the component.4. When a series of components aremounted in the same style and direction, they shouldbe placed so that all markings are all readable from asingle point, giving due regard to polarity requirements.5. Any mounting hardware removedduring disassembly shall be replaced when installingnew components.4-5.2 COMPONENT LEAD SHAPINGProper methods of shaping componentleads for mounting on a printed circuit board are asfollows:1. Component leads shall always hestraightened and cleaned prior to bending.2. Leads may be straightened by hand,using anything that will not cut or scrape the lead.3. Erasure cleaning of leads is preferred.Use an ink-type eraser (white), as other typeswill leave an oily film on the lead. After cleaningthe lead, the final cleaning step should- be to wipe thelead thoroughly with solvent to remove all residueleft during cleaning.4. The minimum distance between theseal, where the lead enters the body of the component,and the start of the lead bend shall be not less than adistance equal to twice the diameter of the lead itself.5. The minimum distance betweenany weld bead on the lead and the start of the bendshall be not less than a distance equal to twice thediameter of the lead itself and the bend shall notbe between the weld bead and the component body.6. The minimum radius of the benditself (sharpness of the bend) shall be not less thana distance equal to the diameter of the lead, and thebend shall be 9<strong>00</strong> at all times, except when forminga stress relief bend.ORIGINAL 4-3


SOLDERING TECHNIQUES NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCE7. After bending leads, and beforeinserting component on the board, always reclean theleads with solvent to remove skin oils and salts presentdue to finger contact.4-5.3 CIRCUIT BOARDPREPARATIONThe first step in preparing for componentinstallation is to thoroughly clean the circuitboard. A white ink-type eraser will remove lightoxides. Always clean circuit board with solvent and aKimwipe after abrading. Never allow the solventto evaporate, but wipe up promptly with a clean dryKimwipe. Solvent type cleaning may also be done withan acid brush which has soft bristles and will notscratch the conductor surfaces. Wipe dry with aKimWipe.4-5.4 PROPER SHAPINGTECHNIQUESThe next step in component installationinvolves bending and cleaning the componentlead, prior to insertion in the board, as follows:1. A nylon rod or orangewood stickmay be used to bend component leads. Always holdthe component body immobile and bend only the pigtailend of the lead with a smooth wiping motion ofthe finger.2. When using round-nose pliers toform bends and stress relief loops, always cover suchjaws with masking tape to cushion them. Use extremecare not to dent the component lead.3. The initial step in forming stressreliefloops is to make a standard 90” bend in the lead.4. To finish the stress relief bend, gripthe lead just beyond the 90” bend and wipe the pigtailend smoothly around the plier jaw, forming a180 “ 1<strong>00</strong>P.5. After bending and inserting thecomponent into the board, the next step is to properlyform the lead termination.6. In forming a straight-through termination,the lead is simply cut to proper length, usingflush-cutting pliers.7. To form a semi-clinched termination,grip the lead with pliers and bend in the directionof a run to a 45” angle. Avoid pulling on the lead,as this will place unwanted stress on the componentbody.8. After bending, cut the lead withflush-cutting pliers. The flush side of the cutter must alwaysbe kept toward the board, butat9<strong>00</strong> with the lead.9. For full clinched terminations, thebending and cutting procedure is the same as for semiclinchedleads.10. An orangewood stick, which willnot damage the run or pad area in any way, may beused to fully clinch the pigtail down to the run surface.4-5.5 COMPONENT LEADTERMINATIONComponent Lead Terminations are tobe made as follows: (refer to Figure 4-2)1. After installing the component onthe board, the proper lead termination must be madeprior to soldering.2. Prior to shaping lead termination,excess lead may be cut off with a flush cuttingtool.3. On clinched terminations the leadlength shall be not less than the radius of the pad andnot greater than the diameter of the pad.4. Semi-clinched termination shallhave the same Ieadlength specifications as full clinched.5. All clinched terminations must bebent in the direction of the run.6. Clinched terminations must contactthe run surface and not overhang any part of the runedge.7. The lead length on straight-throughterminations shall be not less than one lead diameterand not more than two lead diameters above the boardsurface.4-5.6 SOLDER CONNECTIONCHARACTERISTICSThe characteristics of high-qualityprinted-circuit solder connections are as follows:1. The solder area extends beyondthe cut end of full-clinch leads sufficiently to forma fillet.2. Solder flows to the edges of the padin all cases.3. If the run or pad is plated andplating has been removed, solder must have flowedover all exposed base metal.4. On a single-sided board, the solderforms concave fillets between the lead with no internalvoids.5. On a double-sided board withplated through-holes or flat-set eyelets, the soldershould completely fill the hole and cover the padson both sides of the board.4—4-4 OR IGINA1.


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> SOLDERING TECHNIQUES6. The soldered area of a funnel-seteyelet forms three separate solder joints: one on eachside between the outer flanges and the board, and onethrough the hole between the inside of the eyelet andthe lead.7. The solder finish must exhibit asmooth, gleaming, mirror-like appearance, no pits orholes shall be in evidence, and all fillets must he concave.4-5.7 HIGH-QUALITYSOLDERING TechniquesThe techniques for making high-qualityprinted-circuit solder connections include the following:1. Correct application of proper flux.2. Only flux-cored solder should beused, as it provides automatic application of flux tothe connection while soldering.3. For large areas or rapidly oxidizingsurfaces, a quantity of external flux may also beapplied to the joint prior to soldering.4. Proper heating can only be accomplishedwith the correct soldering tool.5. A typical soldering iron employedin high-reliability soldering has several tip styles whichare used for different masses to be soldered.6. The tip is inserted into the bottomof the iron’s hole and the set screw tightened gentJybut firmly. Excessive force will cause the screw toheat-seize.7. The soldering iron is voltagecontrolledto more closely match tip temperature tothe mass to be soldered.8. Upon completion of cooling,loosen and remove tip to prevent heat-seize caused byoxidation.9. Normally, tips used in high-reliabilitysoldering are clad, and should therefore becleaned only with a platers brush or crocus cloth ifheavily oxidized.10. When the tip reaches solderingtemperatures, a quantity of solder is to be melted ontothe tip and then left there to prevent oxidation untilready to use.11. Before using the soldering iron tomake a joint, all solder must be removed from thetip, using a brush and a Kimwipe.12. After the excess solder has beenwiped off, thermal-shock the tip on a wet sponge toprovide a clean, dry tip for soldering.13. To achieve proper heating of theconnection, the tip mass and tip temperature must becapable of rapidly heating the mass of the joint to besoldered to the melting temperature of solder.4-5.8 APPLICATION OF SOLDERBefore applying heat to a joint, athermrd shunt should be attached to component leadswhen dealing with heat sensitive components such asdiodes and transistors. When component leads do notprovide access for the thermal shunt attachment dueto the use of mounting hardware, EXTREME caremust be used to prevent heat damage. A solder bridgeis formed by melting a small amount of solder at thejunction of the tip and the joint. This allows maximumpossible heat transfer rate from the tip to the joint.After the prepared tip is placed in physical contactwith both the lead and the pad and the heat bridgehas been established, the solder is applied to formthe solder bond.NOTEUse only clean solder.The iron or joint should not be movedduring the soldering operation, even on double-sidedboards, since cleaning and heating of the joint areawill allow the solder to flow through the hole andfrom the entire joint with a single application (exceptfor holes without metallic reinforcement). Solder isapplied to the connection by “painting” the solderinto the area to be soldered, using a circular motion.Start by forming fillets along the sides of the lead;finish by filling in the large flat area of the pad.4-5.9 CLEANING AFTERSOLDERINGAfter soldering, all flux residues must beremoved by solvent cleaning. Two solvents areapproved for circuit board cleaning. The recommended,in order of their cleaning ability, are:1. 99.5% puw ethyl alcohol (normallynot available); and2. 99.5% pure isopropyl alcohol.4-5.10 QUALITY INSPECTIONSTANDARDSAll printed circuit board solderedconnections should be inspected for quality of workmanship.The standards of acceptance and indicationsto look for include the following:1.

Board restored to its originalconfiguration.2. No visible degradation to any partof the assembly.3. Repair made with the same typecomponents and materials as used initially by themrmufacturer.4. Repairs made should be nearlyindistinguishable by visual inspection, unless they areof a higher quality than the original work of themanufacturer.4-5.12 CON FORMAL COATINGIDENTIFICATIONThe six basic types of conformrd coatingsand their specific characteristics are as follows:1. Epoxies:a. Normally hardest of the sixtypes.b. Application of heat at or nearthe solder melting temperatures causes the epoxy toovercure, resulting in its breakdown into a powderysubstance.c. Epoxy forms the strongest surfaceadhesion bond of all the conformal coatings. Itwill not chip or peel, and may be considered nearlyunbreakable under physical stresses.d. VeW few solvents will attackepoxy, and the destructive ones will also attac”k the oboard and ita components.e. The texture of epoxy is normai[yhard, smooth and non-porous.2. Acrylic Lacquer:a. Acrylics are relatively hard andsimilar in appemance to epoxies, but yield morereadily to scraping and cutting.b. Heat readily softens most acrylics;however, a gummy residue often results.c. The adhesion of acrylics isusually a surface bond and will often chip and flake,although it is relatively strong.d. Solvents such as 1.1.1, trichlorethaneand xylene, readily attack and soften mostacrylics.e. The texture of acrylics is normallysmooth, non-porous, medium hard with a glossyfinish.3. Polyurethane:a. Some polyurethane coatingshave widely varying degrees of hardness which rangefrom an extremely hard type, similar to epoxy, to arelatively soft consistency which is similar to an RTVcompound.b. Most polyurethane tend tosoften rapidly and exhibit a putty-like consistency ator near soldering temperatums.c. Plastic solvents are generally theonly type that will attack polyurethane; they willalso attack the components and circuit board.d. Texture is normally smooth,glossy and non-porous but may be dented or scratchedunder light pressure.4. Varnish:a. The hardness of varnish will varywith age: new varnish is relatively hard and tough, whileold varnish tends to be brittle and flakes very easily.b. Heat, at or near soldering temperature,causes varnish to liquify and give off a verystrong odor of linseed oil.c. Organic solvents such as alcoholand mineral spirits readily attack varnish, but tend toleave a gummy residue upon evaporation.d. Varnish is often lumpy inappearance and has a semi-glossy look.5. RTV:a. RTVS have a rubbery, pliableconsistency.b. Heat, chemicals and solventshave little or no effect on RTVS.6. Parylene:a. Parylene is considered to be ahard coating, normally as hard as epoxy.b. Nomldly, solvents have noeffect upon parylene.4-6ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> SOLDERING TECHNIQUESc. High heat (approximately 480-5<strong>00</strong> “F) will remove parylene but will also probablydamage the workpiece.d. Texture is smooth, dull andnormally clear.4-6 RESOLDERING ANDREMOVING COMPONENTSThe resoldering and removal of componentsfrom printed circuit boards is just as critical as theinstallation and soldering of circuit board components.The following subparagraphs discuss the recognition,identification, resoldering methods, and procedures ofsolder joints as well as proper tool usage, cleaning, andinspection.4-6.1 RECOGNITION OFSOLDER JOINT TYPESTo recognize the various solder jointtypes, the board circuitry style, the lead terminationstyle, and the style of reinforcement must be considered.Of the three considerations, the board circuitrystyle (Figure 4-2) is the easiest to recognize, namely:1. The single-sided board which hasconductors on one side only;2. The double-sided board which hasconductors on both sides; or3. Multilayer boards, which haveinternal conductor runs and runs on one or bothsides.The degree of hole support is generallythe hardest to identify because it is often hiddenbeneath the solder. The various styles of support are:1. No hole support; single-sided board.2. Plated-through hole; single-sidedboard.3. Eyelet; single-sided board.4. Plated-through hole; double-sidedboard.5. Eyelet; double-sided board.Component lead termination stylesinclude:1. Fully clinched lead; a commontype often used in machine soldering as well as handsoldering.2. Semi-clinched lead; easier toremove than a fully clinched lead.3. Straight-through lead; these providethe greatest degree of reliability.4. Offset pad termination which hasthe hole drilled outside of the pad area.5. Crimped lead on the componentside, which provides component clearance forimproved solvent cleaning and air circulation. Thisalso provides clearance to prevent components withhigh operating temperature from scorching the circuitboard. (Note that this is NOT a lead termination,but is a component mounting method.)6. A spaded lead termination in whichthe end of the lead is crimped after being passedthrough the printed circuit board. (Note that thisstyle of termination is easily hidden by the solderand that the lead must be cut between the componentand the spaded portion before attempting toremove the lead from holes.)7. Lap solder joint lead terminationis a form or style in which the component lead doesnot pass through the circuit board.4-6.2 IDENTIFICATION METHODSNOTEMore than one type of solderjoint connection may befound on a single circuitboard.1. Welded leads:a. Welded leads have a fine blackline across the component lead.b. Do not attempt to remove thistype of joint. Take to the closest 2M station.2. Use the following means to identifylead termination style:a. Inspect visually.b. Remove solder from joint todetermine if there are any hidden termination characteristics.3. Use the following means to identifyhole support styles:a. Inspect visually.b. Carefully remove all solderfrom connection to determine hidden hole reinforcementcharacteristics.4-6.3 RESOLDERING METHODSFOR PRINTED CIRCUITSOLDER JOINTS1. Removal by wicking. Solderremoval by wicking consists of carefully heating thejoint and using finely braided wire soaked in liquidflux. Capillary action draws the solder into the braidsaided by the increased wetting action of the heated flux.ORIGINAL 4-7

GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> SOLDERING TECHNIQUES2. Manual vacuum extraction. Solderremoval by the manual vacuum method consists of amanually controlled and operated one-shot vacuumsource used in conjunction with heat to create avacuum air flow which pulls molten solder from thejoint. Manual vacuum usually has the advantage ofinstant vacuum rise-time, but may have one or more ofthe following disadvantages:a. Extremely high vacuum levels,which may cause damage by lifting conductors fromprinted circuit boards, since the conductor bondingmaterial has greatly reduced strength at solder meltingtemperatures.b. Several applications of thesoldering iron and extractor may be required forcomplete solder removal with the possibility of overheatingthe printed circuit board.c. There may be inability, in somecases, to apply the vacuum tip and the source of heatto the solder joint at the same time.d. Short duration of vacuum, orphysical movement of the vacuum tip caused bymanual operation of the vacuum source, may causeincomplete solder removal.4-6.4 SELECTION AND USE OFRESOLDERING TOOLSThe selection of tools and techniques tobe used in a particular resoldering operation will begoverned by the type of solder joint and lead termination.A thorough physical examination must be madeto determine the solder joint characteristics, the mosteffective resoldering technique, and the tools to beused in applying these techniques. The tools andtechniques must be those least likely to cause damageof any nature. To avoid damage, the following factorsshould be considered:1. Effect on the board materials.2. Effect on circuit conductors.3. Effect on the adjacent components.NOTETesting and evaluation haveshown the following techniqueshave effective andreliable applications. Thetechnician must decide whichtechnique is the best for aspecific task, keeping in mindat all times the requirementof causing no damage.4-6.5 INFERIOR METHODS OFSOLDER EXTRACTIONSolder removal methods which shouldNOT be used or which have limited applications are asfollows:1. Heat and shake method. This doesnot remove all the solder and causes solder splatter oncircuit board.2. Heat and pull method. Thehidden lead terminations may cause damage when leadis pulled through the board.4-6.6 WICKING PROCEDURESThe procedures for wicking solderremoval are as follows:1. Select wicking material which issmaller than the area being resoldered.2. Spread the wicking with liquid fluxand place it on the area to be resoldered, taking care toensure that there is no overlap of wicking onto theboard material.3. Apply a clean, heated, dry solderingiron tip to the braid using gentle pressure.4. The wicking may be drawn acrossthe area to be resoldered after the solder melts andbegins to soak into the wicking.5. If solder stops flowing into thewicking before it has all been removed, or if all the fluxis boiled away, the operation must be repeated aftercutting off the solder-filled portion of the wicking.6. Better wicking action is afforded asthe number of strands increases and the size of thestrands decreases.7. Ensure that heat is not excessive.Excessive heatwill boilawaythefluxandcause scorching.8. Ensure that wicking does notcontact board material. “Measles” (pitting) will resultfrom hot wicking overlapping the pad area and contactingboard material.4-6.7 MANUAL SOLDEREXTRACTION PROCEDURESThe procedures for solder removalusing a manual solder extractor are as follows:1. Simultaneously apply the solderingiron tip and the extractor tip to the area to beresoldered. (Note that space may be a limiting factor.)2. Upon observing a complete soldermelt, press the release trigger which creates a vacuumto extract the solder.3. Hold extractor firmly to minimizerecoil and give better solder extraction.ORIGINAL 4-9


SOLDERING TECHNIQUESNAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>GENERAL MAINTENANCE4. This manual method may notremove all the solder and may even cause circuit padlifting due to high vacuum generated and movement ofthe extractor tip.5. To maintain efficient operation,disassemble, clean and lubricate the extractorthoroughly on a regular basis.4-6.8 COMPONENT REMOVALComponent removal procedures aftersolder extraction are as foIlows:1. Straight-through terminations allowthe component to be lifted gently from nonconformalcoated boards.2. The various clinched-style terminationsmay require the breaking of a sweat joint. Thismay be done by gripping the lead with pliers ortweezers and then rotating the clinched portionapproximately 3<strong>00</strong> parallel to the board.3. After breaking the seat joint thelead may be lifted gently to a straight-up position.NOTEDo not attempt to lift orstraighten the lead until thesweat joint is broken.4-6.9 FINAL RESOLDERINGINSPECTIONThe completed work should be inspectedfor damage to the circuit board or to theremaining components. With respect to componentdamage, inspect for cracked, broken, or heated components;deformed or broken leads; poor solder jointaand loose or splashed solder which may cause shorts.Additional inspection should be conducted for thefollowing damaged conditions:1. Scorching or charring caused bycomponent failure or improper repair techniques.2. The appearance of white spotaindicates small areas of the fiberglass strands havebeen exposed by heat, abrasion or solvent action.3. Possible cracks or breaks in theboard material.4. Missing pads or conductors.5. Nicked or cracked conductors.6. Lifted or delaminated pads orconductors.NOTEIf any of the above conditionsexist, deliver the board to a2M station for repair.4-7SOLDERING OFWIRE TERMINALSThe most widely used terminals are theturret, hook and tab types. The identification, preparation,and soldering of turret, hook, and tab terminakare described in the following subparagraphs.4-7.1 TERMINAL TYPES,SIZES, AND USAGESThe three general types of terminrds(Figures 4-3, 4-4) in common usage are the turret,hook, and tab. Turret terminals can be either singleor multiple sectioned, and are designed to protrudefrom one side of the mounting surface only, orprotrude from both sides (feed-through types). Themost common types of hook terminals used are the“J” style and “?” mark style. The most commonlyused tab terminal is the pierced tab eyelet type. Whenselecting terminals, ensure that the terminal size andconductor or component size are compatible. Conductorsand components that are too large for a givensize terminal will place an undesirable stress on thatterminal. Turret terminals are used for interracialconnections on printed circuit boards, terminalpoints for pointto-point wiring, for mountingcomponents, and as tie points for interconnectingwiring. Hook and tab terminals are used to provideconnection points on sealed devices and terminalboards. Tab terminals on connector pins are normallymade end-on.4-7.2 TERMINAL PREPARATIONFOR SOLDERINGPrior to soldering, all terminals mustbe thoroughly cleaned to ensure a well-soldered joint.The initial cleaning may be accomplished by addingand then removing excess solder from the terminal.For old, used, or very dirty terminals, some abrasionmay be required to clean completely. Solvent cleaningis required after any of the other cleaning methods iscompleted. After completion of cleaning and prior tosoldering the connection, all terminals must be tinned.4-7.3 CONDUCTOR PREPARATIONFOR SOLDERINGIn preparing the conductor end fortermination, first determine the length of insulationthat should be removed. Cut the insulation, usingthermal strippers (preferred) or non-adjustable factorysetstrippers. Next, using the fingers, slowly removethe piece of cut insulation allowing it to turn andfollow the lay of the conductor strands.

After completion ofstripping, the conductor must be tinned. Tinningis required to prevent damage incurred in the bendingprocess. The use of an antiwicking device is recommendedto prevent capillary action from pulling solderunder the insulation. When tinning while using theantiwicking device, bring the clean, dry soldering ironin behind the conductor about one-half the distancefrom the antiwicking tool. Next, apply solder to junctionof iron and conductor, allowing solder to soakinto conductor strands. Move the iron and soldertoward the antiwicking tool, hesitating just enough toovercome heat-sinking and then move the iron andsolder hack down and off end of conductor. Ifproperly tinned, the individual conductor strands willstill be visible. The tinned conductor end may now bebent or shaped, using any method that does notdamage the conductor in any way. Typical bendingtools are round-nose pliers, nylon rod, orangewoodsticks, and dummy terminals.4-7.4 ATTACHMENT OFCONDUCTORS TO TERMINALSAttaching the conductor properly to theterminal prior to soldering is as important as the solderingoperation itself. Figure 4-3 illustrates both correctand incorrect methods of attaching conductors to turretterminals in preparation for soldering. Figure 4-4 illustratesboth correct and incorrect methods of attachingconductors to hook and tab terminals prior to soldering.The following requirements should be followed toensure a good firm connection ready for soldering:1. On turret terminals, the minimumwire wrap is 180” and the maximum is 27<strong>00</strong> forAWG-24 and larger conductors, and 360” for AWG-26and smaIler conductors. The preferred wrap dimensionis 180”.2. On hook and tab terminals the minimumwire wrap is 90” with the maximum wrap being27<strong>00</strong>. The recommended wrap for hook terminals is120”, while the wrap dimension is 180” for tab terminals.When the wrap is 12<strong>00</strong>, the wire is not cutstraight across but at an angle to form a flush surfacewith the terminal when installed.3. The size of the bend shall be suchthat it will tit snuggly against the terminal.4. On turret terminals, the conductorshould lie flat against the pad.5. For multiple connections on turretterminrds, all conductors should be wrapped in the samedirection and trimmed to the same length. The conductorsshould be positioned directly above each other.6. On hook terminals, the conductorentry should be vertical. On tab terminals, the conductorentry need not be vertical to the terminal mountingsurface.7. For multiple connections on hookterminals all conductors should approach the terminalfrom the same direction, but the wrap is laid in alternatingdirections. If necessitated by conductor andterminal sizes, the conductors can be piggybacked.8. The insulation gap shall be nogreater than two times the overlap diameter of theconductor, including the insulation. The preferreddistance is one conductor diameter.4-7.5 SOLDERING OF CONDUCTORSTO TERMINALSWhen applying heat and solder to theprepared termination, care shall be taken to preventwicking and damage to the insulation from excessiveheat. When soldering conductors to turret terminrds,the iron should not contact the conductor as it maycause displacement (See Figure 4.5). The majority ofthe heat must be on the pad, with transfer to theconductor through the solder heat bridge. This willalso decrease the chances of wicking. When solderingconductors to hook terminals, the iron must contactthe conductor for heat transfer (see Figure 4-6). Usecare to keep the iron from pushing against the conductorand causing misalignment. The completedsolder joint should have adequate solder coveragewithout spillage of solder over sides of the terminaland with the contour of the conductor strands visible.The solder should present a bright shiny surface andthere should be fillets at all points of contact.4-8 ELECTRICAL WIRE SPLICINGAND HEAT-SHRINK TUBINGWire splicing is frequently requireddue to poor maintenance practices or poor manufacturingtechniques which allow stress or vibrationto break wires. Three methods for splicing wire arepossible, as shown in Figure 4-7. In some digital typeequipment, splicing cannot be used because it maytend to change conductor characteristics and addnoise to signal. This type of wire must be rerun or aspare wire used. The size of replacement wire andits type of insulation must match the original wire.4-8.1 TYPES OF SPLICESThe wrap splice is mechanically preparedby laying two tinned wires across each other inan “X” pattern and wrapping them around each otherORIGINAL 4-13

The twisted portion should betight, with the cut end of the wire flush cut and notprotruding from the splice. The hook splice formsthe strongest mechanical connection. However, it isalso the largest diameter splice, which is often undesirable.This splice also requires a relatively longsection of tinned wire. The splice is formed by makinga “J” bend in each of the two tinned wire ends, andthen linking the hooks together, with each wire thenwrapped back around itself. The cut end of the wiremust be flushed+ut, and must not protrude from thesplice. The mesh splice has the smallest diameter andis the most flexible splice, but it unfortunately providesthe least mechanical strength. This type of splicedoes not use tinned wires, a fact which is often anadvantage. To form the mechanical connection, thewires are first fanned out into a cone shape. The wiresare then pushed straight into each other so that thestrands interlace evenly and without bunching. Finidly,the wires are gripped gently with the fingers andtwisted in such a manner as to approximate the originalwire lay. (This type of splice cannot be used for doubletwisted wires as the center core of the wire is laidrevemed of the outer strands and therefore will notform the cone shape required.) The solder connectionis also important in making splices. The specificationsare the same as those for soldering any wire, namely:1. Smooth concave fillets at allpoints of contact.2. Bright, shiny surface to the solder.3. Individual strands must be clearlyvisible through the solder.4. No wicking.5. No heat darnage to the insulation.4-8.2 HEAT SHRINK TUBINGThe use of some type of insulation ismandatory if splicing of a wire leaves an uninsulatedarea. Heat shrink tubing provides the best material forinsulating this area. The size of tubing used should besuch that it will firmly seal over the original insulationwhen fully contracted, but not fit so tight that itwill present a danger of splitting when the wire isflexed. The sleeving must he placed over the wirebefore making the solder connection. The tubingshould never be positioned over the splice area untilthe solder connection has been thoroughly cleaned andinspected. The only reliable method of shrinkingtubing involves the use of hot air since other methods(such as a soldering iron tip or open flame) are verylikely to cause damage. When shrinking tubing, caremust be taken to keep the hot air source moving soas not to concentrate the heat in one place, as thiswould cause the tubing to lose some of its insulatingproperties.4-9 SO LDERABLECONNECTOR PINSThere are two types of connector pins:solderable type, and crimp type.

SOLDERING TECHNIQUES NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCEpins designed for soldering are normally identified bya curve cut-out on one side of the solder cup of thepin, as shown in Figure 4-8. Coaxial connector pinsdesigned for soldering do not have the curved cut-out,but instead have a smafl hole at the base of the soldercup for solder injection. The shape of solderableconnector pins makes cleaning difficult, thereforetinning is the preferred method of cleaning. Aftercleaning, the connector pin should be prefilled byplacing the correct amount of solder in the soldercup so as to form a finished soldered joint. Whenprebilling, ensure that a flux pocket does not existat the bottom of the solder cup. The procedures andrequirements for preparing conductor ends for terminalattachment also apply to connector solder pins. Theconductor insulation should be cut back by using thepin solder cup as a gauge and the clearance betweencut-back insulation and edge of the pin top is oneconductor diameter. Insulated sleeving should beplaced over all soldered pin connections to preventpossible short circuits. Electrical connectors that haveinsulating rings as part of the assembly do not requirethe individual insulating sleeving. Insulated sleevingcannot be used on coaxial connector pins.4-9.1 SOLDERING REQUIREMENTSThe following requirements are necessaryfor obtaining quality workmanship when solderingelectrical connector pins:1. The conductor must be afignedexactly with the pin cup axis.2. The conductor must be firmlybottomed in the solder cup to prevent flux or airentrapment.3. Solder shall not extend beyondthe confines of the solder cup or spill down over thesides of the pin (see Figure 4-8).4. Edges of the cutaway portion ofthe cup shall be visible beneatb solder, with no portionof the inhmal face of solder cup showing.5. There shafl be a circular, concave filletaround the conductor where it enters the solder cup.6. There shall be no evidence of heatdamage to insulation.7. There shall be no evidence ofwicking.8. There shall be a bright shinysurface to the solder.9. Soldering iron shall be of correctsize and shape to provide sufficient heat.4-9.2 APPLICATION OF SOLDERIn connector pin soldering, the tinnedconductor is applied to the solder, rather thanapplying the solder to the conductor. The followingsteps are necessary to accomplish a properly solderedpin:1. Place antiwicking tool on conductor(preferably using antiwicking tweezers).2. Apply soldering iron and observethe pin for solder melt. Position the iron as low aspossible on solder cup to assure boiling-out of flux andgasses from bottom of cup.3. Immediately insert the tip of theconductor partially into the solder cup at about 7<strong>00</strong>angle. Hesitate long enough to allow heat-sinkingaction of the conductor to be overcome.4. After the solder remelts, veryquickly move the wire to a full vertical position andthen bottom it in the solder cup.5. Maintain a slight downward pressureon the conductor until the soldering iron hasbeen removed and the solder has solidified. This willaid in preventing formation of stress lines in solder.6. Clean with a bristle brush andsolvent.7. Apply heat-shrinkable sleeving.4-1o SOLDERING TOOLSAND CONSUMABLESCorrect soldering iron tip temperatureis important, and can be controlled by varing thevoltage to the iron. This is advisable because, in performinghigh quality work, the tip temperature mustbe proportional to the mass of the piece to be soldered.Also, excessive heat can deteriorate wire insulation ordamage an “eye pad” on a printed circuit card. Commercialcompanies, such as PACE and WELLER, offerseveral voltage control models which can vary the tiptemperature of their irons. If none of these commercialcontrols can be procurred, a voltage-controlledoutlet box, such as depicted in Figure 4-9, can beconstructed by the technician, using the parts listed inTable 4-1 and performing the following steps insequence:1. Split dark-colored side of receptacle(Figure 4-9).2. Connect black wire from powercord and wire from switch (located on back of pot onvoltage control) to one dark terminal.4-16 ORIGINAL

GENERAL MAINTENANCENAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong>MINIATURE REPAIRSECTION 5MINIATURE REPAIRLL5-1 INTRODUCTIONTools not ordinarily used in servicingthe conventional wired-circuit chassis are to be usedin servicing a modular assembly or printed circuitboard. Transistors and associated components used inthis type of assembly are extremely small and requirethe use of tools of greatly reduced size in order to copewith the limited space encountered with this type ofconstruction. In addition, special devices which extendthe vision, aid the reach, and sometimes act as a thirdhand are required. Some of the tools required in thistype of repair are shown in Figure 5-1. Many of thesetools may be obtained through the ship’s medical ordental officer. Others, if not carried in the normalsupply system, may be procured tbrough commercialsupply sources. All other tools normrdly required arestandard handtools and are listed in the ElectronicsTools Allowance List. The number of micro-miniaturetools should be held to a minimum compatible withthe actual maintenance needs.5-2 REMOVING ANDREPLACING PARTSThe removing and replacement of apart without damaging the modular asembly orprinted circuit board and its associated parts requirethat the soldering tool and other handtools requiredbe used with precision and skill. Thought should begiven to the most appropriate procedure or method touse in the removal and replacement of the partinvolved. A part to be removed may be too close to aheat-sensitive semiconductor or other part to allowa hot pencil-soldering iron to be applied. A quick testto determine this safe distance is to place a fingerbetween tbe semiconductor (or heat-sensitive part)and the part to be removed. Place the hot solderingiron in the position it is to be used. If the heat is toogreat for the finger, it is too hot for the semiconductor.After determining that the heat-sensitiveparts are too close, place a shield between theparts before applying the hot soldering iron, andplace heat-sink clamps on all leads from the heatsensitivepart. Solid-state parts and their associatedcircuitry are extremely sensitive to thermal (heat)changes. Therefore, particular care must be takento prevent exposing them to heat. Heat-sinks andshunts must be applied with shields inserted toprotect the associated parts any time repair or removalof a part requires the use of a hot soldering iron.Solid-state parts and associated assemblies requirethe same care in handling and skill of repairing that isapplied to assemblies in equipment of unitized or modularconstruction containing transistors, tantalumcapacitors, crystals, etc. Removal of an axial-leadpart that has been bonded to a printed circuit board(with epoxy resin or similar compound) may beaccomplished by breaking the defective part or byapplying heat to the bonding compound. The methodto use depends upon the part itself and its location.If the defective axial-lead part cannot be removed byheat, cut or break the part away from the bondingcompounds as illustrated in Figure 5-2. “A” and“B” of Figure 5-2 illustrate two different methodsof breaking the part away from the bonding compoundwhere the part is too close to the other parts to usecutting pliers. In some instances, the part to bereplaced is so closely positioned between other partsthat one lead must be cut close to the body of thedefective part to permit application of the pryingtool as illustrated in “A.” Wherever possible, cuttingthe defective part with end-cutting pliers or diagonals,as illustrated in “C, “ is the preferred method to use.Regardless of which tool is employed (round-pointedor spade-type), great care must be used in its applicationto prevent the printed circuit board or otherparts from being damaged or broken. Apply the pointof the tool against the bonding compound betweenthe part and the printed circuit board. Use the toolin such a manner that it works away the bonding compoundfrom the part to be broken away until enoughhas been removed by the tool to exert pressure againstthe part. Keep the leverage surface area of the toolflat against the surface of the printed circuit board;this helps to prevent the tool from gouging or breakingthe board. BE CAREFUL – NEVER APPLY MUCHPRESSURE AGAINST THE PRINTED-CIRCUITBOARD. After the defective part has been removedfrom the bonding compound, remove the leads ortabs from their terminals on the printed circuit boardand clean the area thoroughly before installing thenew part. Do not remove the bonding compound lefton the board under the removed part unless its conditionrequires it. The mold left in the compoundshould be the same as for the new part; thus, insertingthe new part in this mold helps secure it fromvibration. Install the new part and, after repairs haveORIGINAL 5-1

Coat the new part orparta with a bonding compound (Epibond by FuranePlastics or equivalent). To remove a proven defectivetransistor, first cut all of its leads, and then removeit from the assembly. Transistors are mounted oncircuit boards in many different ways; therefore, itis necessary to study how the transistor is mountedbefore attempting to remove it. A transistor withclamp-type mounting requires only a pointed toolbetween the clamp and the transistor to remove it.A transistor mounted in a socket may have a wirespring clamp. Remove the clamp before pulling thetransistor out of its socket. Where the transistor isbolted through the board, remove the nut and washer,and then remove the transistor. Where vibration is aprime factor, the manufacturer will mount the transistorthrough the circuit board and bond it with epoxyresin or similar compound. For this type of mounting,a flat-ended round-rod-type tool (drift punch) of adiameter less than that of the transistor case isrequired. Before removing the transistor, ensure thatthe printed circuit board, on which the transistor ismounted, is secured in a proper device as illustrated inFigure 5-3 and in such a way that the pressure exertedagainst the circuit board will be relieved by a propersupport on the other side. Apply a hot-pencil solderingiron to the bonding compound and simultaneouslyapply the drift punch against the top of the transistor,exerting enough pressure to remove the transistorfrom the softened compound, and then on through andout of the circuit board as illustrated in Figure 5-3.After the defective transistor has been removed,remove the remaining pieces of the leads from theterminals on the board. Clean and prepare the terminafson the board before installing the new part.Before installing a new transistor, great care must betaken to prepare the new part for installation. Testthe transistor in a transistor tester (TS-11<strong>00</strong>/U orsimilar equipment) before installing. This precautionwill assure that the transistor is good before it isinstalled. Pre-shape and cut the new transistor leadsto the shape and length required for easy replacement.Use sharp cutte= and do not place undue stress on anylead entering the transistor. The leads are fragileand are therefore susceptible to excessive bending ortoo sharp a bend. Shape and bend as required in agradual curve, at least l/4-inch to 3/8-inch from thebase of the transistor. A safety measure which can betaken to ensure that the lead does not break off at thebase is to use two pairs of needle-nose pliers. Grasp thelead close to the transistor base with one pair of pliers,whife shaping the rest of the lead with the other pair.The above procedure and precaution is applicable toORIGINAL 5-3

Where the defective transistorwas removed from a through-board mounting andbonded, care must be taken that the new transistorclears the hole before it is connected to its terminals.If the hole is too large, shim with a thin plastic sleeve(fabricated). If the hole is too small, ream it to acceptthe new transistor. Rebond the fitted transistor aftertesting the repaired circuit and it is proven to beoperative. DO NOT use heat to rebond semiconductors.To remove and replace a multi-lug part, such as atransformer, choke, filter, or other similar potted,canned or molded part, release the part from itsmounting before disconnecting or cutting its conductors.Before applying pressure to remove the part,carefully inspect it to be sure that the part is completelyfree of all its connections to the printed circuitTransistor Removalboard, and that all bent or twisted mounting lugs havebeen straightened; otherwise, it is possible to break theboard by applying undue pressure to it. Never wrenchor twist a multi-lug part to free it, because this willcause the conducting strip to become unbendedfrom the board. Work this type of part in and outin line with its lugs, as shown in Figure 5-4, whileapplying a hot-pencil soldering iron (using a bar-typetiplet adapter or resoldering tool).

Considerablecare must be taken when replacing a defective partthat terminates on miniaturized standoffs, feedthroughterminals, and such. These small terminals breakeasily from applied pressure (too heavy an applicationwhen applying a tool or soldering iron), or they maymelt loose due to excessive heat produced by prolongedapplication of the hot soldering iron.5-3 SPECIAL SOLDERINGTECHNIQUESReplacement of miniature and subminiatureparts found in modular assemblies requires moreconsideration than is normally given to parts in theservicing of other electronic equipment. Beforeattempting repair, maintenance personnel shouldbecome thoroughly familiar with the correct repairand soldering techniques, since servicing proceduresused differ in a number of ways. The compactness ofmodular assemblies makes it imperative that a small,low-wattage pencil iron be used. The soldering ironshould have a small tip so that heat can be applieddirectly to the terminal of the part to be removed orreplaced, without overheating the printed circuitboard or adjacent parts. practical soldering irons,with tips specially designed for soldering and unsolderingparts from printed circuit boards, have beendeveloped by a number of companies. The off-set orstraight-slotted tiplets will simultaneously melt thesolder and straighten the leads, tabs, and small wiresbent against the board or terminal. The bar tiplet willremove straight-line multiterminal parts quickly andefficiently. The cup-shaped tiplets, the triangle tiplet,and the hollow-cube tiplet are specially designed towithdraw solder from circular or triangular mountedparts in one operation. The most important requirementfor repairing modular assemblies and printedcircuit boards is for skill in the soldering and unsolderingof parts. Careless work creates damage. Take timeand be precise. When applying solder, remember thatthe iron must heat the metal to solder-melting temperaturebefore actual soldering can take place.

Methylchloroform is not flammable,but heating it increases itstoxic hazard.Use methyl chloroform only with adequateventilation and avoid prolonged or repeatedbreathing of its vapor or contact with the skin.5-4 PRINTED CIRCUIT ANDMICROELECTRONICSTECHNIQUESBecause printed circuits are small andcompact, it is essential that maintenance personnelbecome familiar with the special servicing techniquesrequired for this type of repair. In all instances, it isadvisable to first check the defective printed circuitbefore beginning work on it to determine whetherany prior servicing has been performed. Not all personnelhaving access to this type of equipment havethe skill and dexterity required; hence, some preliminaryservice may be necessary. Observing this precautionmay save a great deal of time and labor. Thedefective part should be pin-pointed by a study ofthe symptoms and by careful and patient analysis ofthe circuit before attempting to trace trouble on aprinted circuit board. It must be ascertained whetherthe lands (conducting strips) are coated withia protectivelacquer, epoxy resin, or similar substance. Ifany of these protective coatings have been applied,they must be removed and the surface must be properlycleaned before corrective maintenance can beperformed on the equipment.5-4.1 REMOVAL ANDREPLACEMENT OFPROTECTIVE COATINGSMany manufacturers of equipmentsused by the Navy apply protective coatings (also calledconformal coatings) to their equipment. Theseprotective coatings include epoxies, silicones,polyurethane, varnishes and lacquers. Most of thecoatings consist of a synthetic resin dissolved in avolatile solvent. When properly applied to a cleansurface, the solvent evaporates, leaving a continuouslayer of solid resins. After curing, this coating protectsagainst environmental stress, corrosion, moisture, andfungus. These protective coatings may be removed bychemical or mechanical means. The application ofchemical solventa is not recommended, however, asthey may cause damage to the printed circuit boardsby dissolving tbe adhesive materials that bond thecircuits to the boards. These solvents may also dissolvethe potting compounds used on other parts or assemblies.Most polyurethane protective coatings can beremoved by applying heat to the area to be cleaned,then gently scraping the coating with an X-acto knife.Detailed procedures for the removal and replacementof conformal coatings by this method and the toolsand materials required are given in the following subsections.54.1.1 Tools and MaterialsThe tools and materials in the followinglist are required to remove and replace protectivecoatings.

Refer to theappropriate maintenance proceduresin the equipmenttechnical manual concerningalignment procedures andthe proper use of protectivecoatings for RF assemblies.1. Using a 12X viewer, visually inspectthe repaired board for foreign particles.2. Clean area to be coated with acotton swab that has been dipped in alcohol.3. Allow the printed circuit boardto dry thoroughly. Drying time will depend on thecleansing agent used (alcohol is recommended).4. Mask the area that is not to becoated as shown in Figure 5-5. The unmssked areashould be large enough to rdlow some overlapping withthe old coating to assure adequate protection.5. Spray the exposed area with threelayers of protective coating material, allowing sufficienttime for curing between successive coats. Severalthin coats are more effective than one heavy coat.If the coating material has a tendency to porosity,it is unlikely that the pinholes will occur in exactlythe same positions on successive coats.6. Remove the mask and inspect thereworked area, using a 12X viewer, for any voids orpinholes. If any voids or pinholes are observed, addanother coat of protective coating.away unwanted portions of the metal foil after bondingto the base. Because metal foil is the most readilyrepairable and most commonly used type of printedwiring board, the repair techniques described in thesubsection apply to metal foil printed circuits only.The major cause of printed circuit board failuresattributable to maintenance actions is mishandlingduring fault isolation and replacement ofparts. It is important, therefore, that care be exercisedin performing maintenance. After isolation of afault to a printed circuit board, the board should bevisually examined to determine the possible cause ofthe fault. If the cause is not readily apparent, the landson the boards should be checked for continuity, usingan ohmmeter and needle probes. Place the probes ateach end of the land. If the land is open, remove oneprobe along the board until continuity is observedon the meter. Then locate the break in the landwith the aid of a 12X viewer. The three major typesof circuit failures are caused by cracks, voids, orpeeling of the lands. During the visual examination,it may be observed that the copper laminate used forthe contact fingers has separated or peeled away fromthe board. This type of damage can be repaired byfollowing the procedures described in the followingsubsections.5-4.3 VOID REPAIRSTo repair a void in a land, the followingprocedure may be used:1. If the land has been covered with aconformal coating, remove it in accordance with theprocedure outlined in 5-4.1 above.2. Using an X-acto knife, trim eachend of the broken land at a 45-degree angle as shownin Figure 5-6(a). Ensure that the remaining end of eachland is firmly attached to the board.3. Strip the insulation from a smallpiece of AWG 22 hook-up wire. Lay the stripped wireon the board and solder as shown in Figure 5-6(b).CAUTION5-4.2 REPAIR OF PRINTEDCIRCUIT BOARDSPrinted circuit assembly wiring patternsare formed in three basic ways: by painting, chemicaldeposit, and as stamped or etched metal foil. Shipboardrepair of painted and chemically deposited printedwiring patterns is not recommended becausethe necessary specialized equipment is not alwaysavailable. The metal foil printed wiring patterns consistof a thin metal foil bonded to a nonconductive base.The wiring pattern is produced by stamping the foilbefore bonding it to the base, or by chemically etchingExcessive heat may cause theends of the conductor to liftfrom the board.4.

Two of the most common mounting techniquesare the embedded and the plug-in. The procedurescurrently used to remove and replace transistor TOpackages are also applicable to modified TO packagescontaining integrated circuits. The major differencebetween the two packages is that the number of leadson modified TOS is greater and the space betweenleads is less than on standard TOS, thus limiting thespace available for lead clipping, resoldering, andsoldering. The smaller packages also require greatermanual dexterity on the part of repair personnel.Other constraints, such as spacing of lands on theprinted circuit board, removal of conformrd coatingsand such, present additional problems to the maintenancetechnician. Protective conformal coatingscontribute to the difficulty in unsoldering leads,removing devices from the mounting surface, andpreparing the mounting surface for device replacement.Subsection 5-4.1 of this handbook contains procedureson removal and replacement of conformal coatings.After the protective coating has been removed, deviceleads must he disconnected and the device removed,but the procedure to be followed in removing the TOwill depend on the mounting configuration. If thepackage to he removed is embedded or plugged inwithout a spacer, the leads should be clipped and thepackage removed before those segments of the leadsremaining in the board are unsoldered. If this is notpossible (as would be the case with packages thatare flush mounted or plugged-in with a spacer) allleads should be heated simultaneously to allow packageremoval. Procedures for removing embedded, plug-in,and flush-mounted packages are given in the followingsubsections. Replacement TO circuits should be electricallytested in accordance with the applicabledetailed specifications and subsystem operatingrequirements.5-4.10.1 Tools and MaterialsThe tools and materials in the followinglist are required to remove and replace TOS.

The widespread use of such micro.circuits has given rise to a major maintenance problem.The average electronics technician can no longer employthe familiar basic hand tools to effect microminiaturerepairs. The technician must now learn how to useentirely new repair techniques and specialized tools.The term “micro-electronics” refers to that area ofelectronics technology associated with extremely smallcomponents. Micro-electronics includes extremely smallcircuits having a high equivalent circuit density, and areconsidered as a single part or entity, composed ofinterconnected elements mounted on a single substrateand designed to perform a specific electronic circuitfunction. This technology includes all types of “FlatPacks,” “Dips,” and “TOS.” Micro repair proceduresinclude all techniques covered in the miniature repairsection of this publication including, but not restrictedto, the following component repair and installation:1. multilayer printed circuit boards2. small, complex, and very denseprinted circuit boards3. flexible printed circuit boards4. installation of special connectom,eyelets and terminals.Repairs to such entities may involve electroplatingtechniques, microsoldenng (using a stereo microscope),and/or the complete rebuilding of a printed circuitboard (PCB) (refer to Table 6-1 on microminiaturetools and equipment for repair of electronic equipment).6-2 REMOVING AND REPLACINGMICROMINIATURE PARTSOne of the major problems in the repairof electronic assemblies and modules is the removal andreplacement of coatings that were applied during originrdmanufacture. Use of the terminology “Coatings,” insome instances, is erroneous since the thickness of thecoating that some manufacturers apply is well beyondthe point that could normally be considered a coating.There are several basic ways in which liquids that havebeen formed into a flexible plastic (rigid, solid orfoamed state) are used to support, seal and insulateelectronic parts, sub-modules, modules and assemblies.Some of these are defined as:1. Impregnation – A method usedfor sealing porous materials, securing coil windings andother parts. Impregnation is accomplished by spraying,dipping or vacuum processing with very thin liquids.2. Encapsulation – The process ofcoating the surface of an object with a viscous materialto establish a continuous thick protective layer whichusually conforms to the shape of the object beingencapsulated.3. Potting – When a part and its containeror housing are made integral by filling the containerwith a material which sets-up so as to preventshifting of the part within the container. Potting alsoprevents the entry of moisture or dirt.4. Embedding – This is similar toPotting except that the container is a temporary moldwhich is removed after the material sets-up.5. Coating – A relatively thin protectivelayer which covers the surfaces of the objectand is sometimes referred to as a “ConformaI Coating. ”The following procedures will be concerned primarilywith coating and encapsulation in the repair ofmodules, since the potting and embedding techniquesare usually associated with items requiring less frequentrepair. Both the coating and encapsulation techniquescan be combined into the overall category of coatings,since the basic differences between them is thickness.6-2.1 REASONS FOR COATINGCoatings are used for various protectiveand functional purposes including: humidity, fungus,mechanical shock and vibration, electncd insulation,mechanical pentration and abrasion, heat sinking andbonding. To meet the specific usage for one or moreof these reasons, the coating material selected by themanufacturer may require the following characteristics:1. Good thermal conductivity to carryheat away from the components.2. Low shrinkage factors during applicationand cure to prevent the coating from applyingstrains or stresses to the components, their leads ortheir serds.ORIGINAL 6-1

Inorganic materials so as not to feedfungus growth, etc.6. Electrical insulation qualities.7. Other characteristics, as required.6-2.2 TYPES OF COATINGSThe general types of electronics coatingmaterials in present day use include:1. Varnishes2. Two-Part Epoxies3. Polyurethane4. Acrylic Lacquers5. Silicone Varnishes6. Various types of Room TemperatureVulcanizing (RTV) Silicone Rubbers.The primary methods for applying these coatingmaterials include: brush on, spray on, dipping, andspread or pour on. The particular method of applyingthe coating is a primary factor for determining the thicknessand uniformity of coating in the end product.Dipping and pouring of coatings wilI result in relativelythick coatings. Spraying and bmshing will usually resultin thin coatings. One of the great paradoxes in the useof coatings is that the type and extent of coating usedwill vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Somemanufacturers whose equipment is used in the sameelectronics system and environmentrd location may notuse any coatings at all. The question which then arisesis why any coating was selected and used by a givenmanufacturer? It all seems to be related to the prerogativesof the original designer and manufacturer and hisspecific technical analysis. Conformance to specificationmay also be a factor. It will be found that in someassemblies only one side of the board is coated. Hereagain, the designer may reason that certain penetrationor abrasion conditions may occur and relate to oneside only, or that the mechanical stability of the componentside of the board is critical and, therefore, astabilizing coating must be used on that side. To assurethe continuity of a coating used for electrical insulationor moisture resistance over a given surface, some producersinclude a tracer in the coating material itself.Thus, ultra-violet light detection will indicate an}7 discontinuitiesof surface coverage. Specifications on theinspection of coatings, as defined by various manufacturers,may run the full extreme from allowing airbubbles and pin holes within the coating, as determinedby inspection under a source of ultra violet light. Theextent to which this inspection is earned out is usuallydictated by the individual producer. It is of interestto note that some producers make their coatings opaque.Transparent or translucent coatings would permit therepairman to observe what is below the coating. Thisis not possible with opaque coatings,6-2.3 IDENTIFICATION OF COATINGWhen a complete set of drawings andtechnical data is made available from a given manufacturer,and assuming he has used the same coatings onall his assemblies, the technician would thus be aware ofthe coating used on a specific assembly. However, insome cases a manufacturer may inconsistently use asmany as four or five different kinds of coatings. Thisresults in never knowing for sure which particularcoating was used on the specific assembly at hand.Under such circumstances it becomes valuable toestablish a uniform means for identifying any varietyof coating that may be used on any module. Certainphysical characteristics are available to establish coatingidentification (refer to Table 6-2):1. Is the coating hard or soft, orsome place in between?NOTEThis may be determinedby a penetration-type test,simply pushing a pointedobject against the coatedsurface.2. Is the coating opaque, transparentor translucent?3. Is the coating thick or thin? Thecriteria for thick or thin is nominally established as.010 to .015 being a thin coating, and anything overthat thickness as being a thick coating. Thick orthin determinations are related to the methods ofremoval, as described in another section of thisdocument.4. The volubility of the coatingmaterhd is another characteristic that may be identified.Almost all coating materials are soluble in somesolvent. The problem is to assure that the solventwhich removes or breaks down the coating will notdarnage the circuit board or its associated componentparts. The very nature of solvent removrd techniquesORIGINAL 6-7

Coating removal by solvent is described inthe “Coatings” section of this manual.5. One other criteria for coating identificationis its “stoppability.” A classification of coatingscalled “stnppable” is cafled out in MIL specifications.Removal of this (strippabIe) type of coating shouldmerely require “slitting through” and peeling it off thesurfaces, leaving the clean surface behind. Unfortunately,this type of coating is extremely rare since oneof the primary criteria for the selection of a given coatingis that it act as a heat sink, thus requiring it toconduct heat from the component part into the baseboardand atmosphere. If the coating is stnppable,it can be inferred that either an air space, pcmr adhesion,or a release agent film exists between the coating andthe work surfaces, thus creating a thenmd barrier. Thisresults in a contradiction that if the coating isstrippable, it would not be as effective a heat sink asone that is not stnppable.6-2.3.1 Relative Hardness of CoatingsThe relative hardness or softness of acoating can be determined by a simple penetrationtest using a pointed instrument applied to the surfaceof the coating in a non-critical area.6-2.3.2 Transparency of CoatingsA coating may be transparent,translucent or opaque. Means of determining this isobvious, and its importance relates to not only aid inidentifying the coating but indicates a factor in difficultyof removal. An opaque coating does not permitobservations of underlying elements during coatingremovaf, hence, placing such items in jeopardy.6-2.3.3 Thickness of CoatingsThe relative thickness of a coating can bedetermined by visual means. A thin coating will showvery sharp outlines of the components and almost nofillet at points of intersection of part leads to circuitboard. Thick coatings, conversely, reduce the sharpoutlines of components and show discernible tlletsat points of part or lead intersections with board.6-8 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> MICROMINIATURE REPAIR6-2.3.4 Volubility of CoatingsMost all coatings are soluble; however,the solvent required to dissolve the specific coating mayafso attack the board and/or the components. Therefore,the volubility test and use of solvents should be limitedto using only xylene and trichlorethane or equal. Testthe coating with either of these materiafs in a noncnticafarea by brushing on a smafl quantity of thesolvent and observe the volubility action.6-2.3.5 Strippability of CoatingsThe stoppability of a particular coatingcan be determined by carefully splitting the coatingwith a sharp blade in a non-critical area, and thenpeeling the coating from the module surface. It shouldbe noted that so-called strippable coatings are nottruly strippable due to their intrinsic adhesion qualitiesand entrapment under part leads. Adhesion quafitiesare essential in selecting coating materials in orderto provide heat dissipation characteristics.6-2.3.6 Comparing Coating CharacteristicsTable 6-2 listed the various physicalcharacteristics associated with the generic types ofcoatings. Note that in many cases the difference in onlyone distinctive characteristic will distinguish one coatingfrom another.6-2.4 COATING REMOVAL METHODSOnce the specific type of coating hasbeen generally identified, the appropriate removafmethod can be employed. The need to remove all theconformal coating from the connections to be unsoldered(and resoldered) is based first on the fact thatunless it is removed, it creates a heat barrier whichmakes it difficult to melt solder joints. Second, theconformal coating may cause solder joint contaminationwhen resoldering. The better a board is cleaned ofcoating at the beginning of a replacement procedure,the easier it will be to restore the board to a serviceablecondition. In most instances, only a spot-removzd ofthe coating is necessary to suit the required repairaction. There may be a few cases where removal of afl ofa specific type of coating, by solvent means, can beperformed on a production basis as easily as spotremoval.Five coating removal methods are recommended:1) solvent, 2) stripping, 3) thermal parting,4) abrasion, 5) hot jet. Tbe specific removal methodto be employed is based on: 1) the generaJ type ofcoating, 2) the specific condition of the coating, and3) the critical nature of the parts and the circuit board.Table 6-3 relates coating material type to its recommendedremoval method. It should be noted that insome cases two or three removaf methods are shownfor a single coating type since variations in coatingconditions require such diversity.6-2.4.1 Solvent MethodMild solvents, such as xylene or trichlorthane(or equal) may be used to remove specific solubletypecoatings on a spot basis by brushing or swabbingthe local area a number of times, using fresh solventuntiI the area is free of coating. If warranted, afl of asoluble-type coating can be removed from the assemblyby immersing and brushing the entire circuit board whileimmersed in a series of tanks containing mild solvent,starting with a high contamination tank and progressingsequentially to a final, fresh solvent tank. Alternately,a single step means for removing all coating may beutilized by providing a continuous flow of fresh mildsolvent with a flow-off of contaminated solvent.Table 6-3.

MICROMINIATURE REPAIR NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANcECAUTIONIn using the solvent methoddetermination must be on amodule-by-module basis, ofhazards to parts, etc., byshort-term immersion in, orentrapment of, solvents.Rapid solvent dry-off throughforced evaporation, as wellas neutralization, if required,should be utilized.CAUTIONChloride-based or other harshsolvent must not be utilized.Extreme care must be exercisedto prevent damage tobase laminates and component parts.When removing RTV materials (primarily by stripping)a pre-soak in Freon TF will soften and expand the RTV,thus permitting a simplified stripping procedure.6-2.4.2 Procedure for Solvent Removal1. To remove solvent, dip the end of acotton-tipped applicator in the solvent and apply asmall amount to the coating around the soldered connectionsof part to be replaced. Because various substanceshave been used as conformal coatings, the timerequired for a given coating to dissolve will vary. Repeatthis step several times, as the solvent evaporates veryreadily.2. Rub the treated surface carefullywith a bristle brush or the wood end of the applicatorto help dislodge the conformal coating.3. Abrade the exposed solder connectionsand brush away the residue.6-2.4.3 Stripping MethodStripping is practical only under spe alcircumstances. For example, in removing RTV sili ematerials, a pre-soak in freon TF will soften and ex { andthe RTV silicone. This will loosen the bond between theboard and RTV, which can then easily be slit and peeledoff.6-2.4.4 Thermal Parting Method“Thermal parting” employs a controlled,low temperature, localized heating method for removingthick coatings by over-curing or softening. This methodpermits the removal of any thick coating material fromwork surfaces, as well as the release of bonds betweencomponent parts and circuit boards. Various shapedtemperature-controlled tips, without sharp edges, areavailable in a variety of configurations to suit workpieceaccess. The thermal parting method does not bum orchar either the coating or circuit board.CAUTIONDo not use soldering irons forcoating removal as their highoperating temperatures willcause the coatings to char, aswell as possibly delaminatethe board materials. The useof thinned-down solderingtips or solder-iron-heated thincutting blades are not recommendedsince they do notprovide controlled heating orsufficient capacity. They alsopresent dangerously sharpedges to the workpiecesurface.6-2.4.4.1 Thermal Parting Procedure1. To separate a coating, first selectan appropriate thermal parting tip to suit the workpiececonfiguration. Set the nominal tip temperature,using the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.2. Apply the thermal parting tip to thecoating, using a light pressure. The coating materialwill either soften or granulate (Epoxy coating willgranulate and Poly-U will soften.) The tip temperatureshould be regulated to a point where it will effectively“break down” the coating but without scorching orcharring.3. The coating thickness around thecomponent body should be gradually reduced withoutcontacting the board surface. As much coating as possibleshould be removed from around component leadsto allow easy removal of the leads. Pre-clip leads ofcomponent parts that are known to be faulty shouldbe pre-clipped, thus permitting removal of the partbody separately from leads and solder joints. Lowpressure air or a bristle brush should be used to removewaste material during the parting process. This willallow good visual access and inhibit inadvertent damageto the board.6-10 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> MICROMINIATURE REPAIR4. With only a smafl bonded jointbetween the part body and board, heat the comp~nent body with the thermal parting unit or smafl solderingiron to weaken the bond beneath the component.Lift the component body free of the circuit board.5. Once the component body has beenremoved from the board surface, the remaining coatingmaterial can be removed by additional thermal partingor by the miniature machining abrasive method. Theremaining leads and solder joints are then removed asdescribed in the “Parts Removaf” section.6-2.4.5 Mechanical Abrasion MethodSeveral important facto= must be consideredwhen using abrasion techniques for the removafof coating materials. A powered miniature machiningsystem will permit fingertip control while providinglow RPM at a high torque to facilitate manipulationand the handling of gumming type coatings. In addition,,a wide variety of rotary abrasive materiafs and shapes,as well as cutting tools, will be required, includingbafl mills, twist drills, rotary brushes, etc., to suitremoval of the various coating types and configurations.In principle, the powered mechanical abrasivecoating removal method permits consistent and preciseremoval of coatings by the average technician withoutcausing mechanical damage or dangerous heating.CAUTIONDo not use high RPM rotarysystems as they will causedangerous frictional heating,and normally do not havesufficient torque to removethe softer, gumming typecoatings.6-2.4.5.1 Abrasive Removal of Thin CoatingsRubberized abrasives of the proper gradeand grit are ideafly suited to removing thin hard coatingsfrom flat surfaces. They must not be applied for softcoatings removal since these would cause the abrasiveto “load” with coating material and thereby becomeineffective. Rotary bristle brushes are better suitedthan rubberized abrasives for use on contoured orirregular surfaces, such as soldered connections, etc.,since the bristles will conform to surface irregularitieswhile removing hard or soft coatings. When usingminiature machining abrasive techniques, the abrasivetool should be moved about in a circular motion tominimize localized heating and avoid causing damageto underlying materials by abrading through the coatingtoo quickly. The procedure for thin coating removafis as follows:1. Apply appropriate rotating abrasiveto the coating using various degrees of pressure andapplying the degree of pressure which best suits theconditions. It may be necessary to begin with a coarseabrasive to remove the bulk of the coating, then changeto a finer abrasive or bristle brush to “clean up” thearea.2. When afl coating has been removedfrom the desired area, the area should be cleaned withan appropriate solvent to remove any remaining contaminants.The cleaned area can now be studied todetermine which solder extraction technique to use.NOTEThe abrasive method is primarilysuited to the circuitside of the boards because itpermits ready access of rotatingdevices without danger ofdarnage. The thermaf partingand hot jet methods shouldbe used on the componentside of the board.6-2.4.5.2 Abrasive Removal ofThick CoatingsThe procedure for removing thickcoatings is primarily to reduce their thickness to athin coating, and then to remove the remaining thincoating by the previously described thin coatingremovaf procedure. Use the miniature machining techniquewith bafl mills to rouhout thick coatings, usingvarious sized mills to enter smafler areas.TCAUTIONDo not attempt to removecdl of the coating or reachthe board or part surfacesby this method as the cuttingaction will cause damage.The intent here is merely tothin the coating down.The design of a bafl mill is such that ita most efficientcutting area is on the side of the ball rather than at theend. To prevent damage to the base material of thePC board, periodically remove the waste coatingsO.R IGINAL 6-11


MICROMINIATURE REPAIR NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> GENERAL MAINTENANCEby brushing or using low pressure air to aflow visuafinspection of the work surface. Once the coatingaround the selected component has been reducedto a relatively thin condition, use the abrasive or hot jetmode for thin coating removal. Remove the solder jointszs per the appropriate solder extraction method. Thisabrasive method is only suited to thinning down thickcoatings on the circuit and component sides of theboard. Use the thermal parting and hot jet methods torelease the bonds between components and circuitboard.CAUTIONDo not attempt mechanicalabrasion betweenclosely spaced componentpart bodies as this actioncan easily darnage thepart.NOTEBoth the thermal parting andhot jet methods are alsoideally suited for the removalof thick coatings.6-2.4.6 Hot Jet MethodIn principle, the hot jet method usesa controlled jet of temperature regulated air to eithersoften or break down the coating. By control of thegas temperature, flow rates and jet shape, the hot jetcan be applied without damage to afmost any workpiececonfiguration on both the circuit and component sidesof the board. Due to the application of heat via the hotjet, there is no direct physical contact with the workpiecesurfaces. Thus, extremely delicate work can behandled in this manner while permitting direct observationof the heating action.6-2.4.6.1 Hot Jet Procedurefor Coating Removal1. Set up hot jet apparatus per manufacturer’sinstructions to provide minimum-sized jet.Adjust flow rate and temperature to suit specific coatingremoval application.2. Apply jet to work area. With the aidof a relatively soft, non-marring edged tool (i. e., teflon,nylon or orange wood), use light prewure to removesoftened or over-cured coating. All coating around individualleads, solder joints and component bodies canbe removed in this manner.CAUTIONNever set the hot jet toheating levels that will causescorching or charring of thecoating material.3. When coating has been removed,use appropriate solder extraction method to removelead solder.6-2.4.7 Non-Recommended CoatingRemoval MethodsCAUTIONBurning the coating off witha soldering iron is not recommendedsince this will causecharring of the coating andheat damage to the baseboard.Scraping coatings frommodules by using sharp-edgedmetal blades must not beattempted because of dangerof board damage.The technician does not usually have sufficient handcontrolsensitivity to work to the close tolerances thatare necessary to prevent damage to materials directlyunder the coating. It must be remembered that a thincoating is usually .010 inches or thinner. Hand-scrapingcoatings from circuit areas with hard metallic, sharpedged blades can result in damage to the extremelythin circuit plating and may even cut through thethin, soft copper circuit itself.6-2.4.8 Replacement ofConformal CoatingTo replace conformal coating on printedcircuit boards the following recommendations shouldbe followed:CAUTIONConformal coatings mayaffect the capacitance and the“Q” of inductom in “RF”assemblies. Refer to theappropriate maintenance proceduresin the equipmenttechnicaI manual concerningalignment procedures and theproper use of protectivecoatings for “RF” assemblies.46-12 ORIGINAL

Clean area to be coated, using acotton swab that has been dipped in alcohol.3. Allow the cleaned printed circuitboard to dry thoroughly. Drying time will depend onthe cleansing agent used.NOTEWhen possible, use the samecoating material as originallyemployed. This will assurecompatibility and meet functionalrequirements.4. All coatings should be applied verythinly, not only for ease of removal, but more important,to prevent stress cracking in solder jointa. Thespray or brush method should be used to ensure uniformthickness.5. Before curing the applied coatingby the approved method, inspect the coating with amagnified viewer for voids and pinholes. If any suchare detected, application of another coat will benecessary.6. After curing, reinspect with the magnifiedviewer for any existing defects. Reinstall repairedPCB in equipment.6-3 REPAIR OF PRINTEDCIRCUIT BOARDSRepair procedures for microminiaturePCBS are basically the same as for repair of miniaturePCBS except that the relative size of the componentsand component density will require the use of specialtools and techniques, such as those listed in Table6-1. One type of repair that should be left up to themicroelectronic repair technician is the repair of multilayerboards.6-3.1 REPAIR OF MU LTILAYER PCBSMultilayer board repair should alwaysbe performed with the utmost care and using the bestpossible techniques. Only standard repair procedures,good workmanship practices, and fully qualified personnel,who have been trained in advanced solderingtechniques, should be utilized in making repairs.Several very basic rules must be followed. One ofthe most important of these which cannot be overstressedis, of course, avoidance of excessive heat.Avoid applying excessive heat and make it a habit toapply the least possible heat to do the job properly.The following defects can arise from excessive heat:1. Damage to the PTH.2. Board could be scorched.3. Electrical resistance of the epoxyglass can be lowered, making the epoxy more susceptibleto a voltage breakdown.4. Epoxy binder material may flow intoa hole and cause contamination.Another essential point to keep in mind while solderingor resoldering — do not apply heat to the same terminalarea (pad) immediately if not successful on the first try.Allow the connection to return to room temperaturebefore a second application of heat. When replacingmulti-lead components, avoid working on an adjacentterminal area (pad) immediately. Most of the cost ofan expensive assembly may already have been spent,but with care and patience, most of this investmentcan be salvaged. Removal of conformal coating isanother very important point too frequently consideredonly lightly. All conformal coating should be carefullyremoved from both leads and terminal area (pad) priorto the application of heat. Any remaining conformalcoating will deter solder removal and will make theresolder operation very difficult since it will contaminatethe hole being soldered. The few extra minutesspent on removing all conformal coating could verywell prove the best time spent on a particular repair.Urethane resin strapping is normally used to hold largecomponents against the board and thus protect themfrom the effects of vibration. The removal of suchstrapping is accomplished by the careful use of a thermalparting tool for this especially tough materkd and isvery difficult to remove. Refer to paragraph 6-2.4.4for details. In addition to utilizing trained personneland the use of proven techniques, the latest availableequipment sould be employed.6-3.1.1 Repair of Damaged Holesin Multilayer PCBS1. Clean surface to be repaired, using astiff bristle brush dampened in perchloroethylene.Rinse with isopropyl alcohol.2. Special care must be taken to keeprework area localized.

Uneven, thin,scratched or blistered gold plating on contact bars maybe replated if the scratches do not reduce the bar crosssectionby more than 2W0 or by less than 2W0 of thecontact area. When replating, potentially dangerouschemicals must be used, therefore, only a qualifiedmicro-repair technician should attempt to do the work.The following safety precautions are to be observedin addition to applicable standard safety precautions:1. Rubber gloves should be worn toavoid possible skin irritation and prevent circuit boardcontamination.2. Wash gloved hands thoroughly inmild soap and water prior to removing the gloves.6-14 ORIGINAL

GENERAL MAINTENANCE NAVSEA SEOOO-OO-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> DIGITAL TROUBLESHOOTINGTECHNIQUESLSECTION 7DIGITAL TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUESL7-1 DIGITAL TESTINGTECHNIQUESIn order to accurately test today’sadvanced digital equipment, the technician must learnhow to use some veW unusual technical troubleshootingaids. These aids will make the technician’s jobeasier, faster and more accurate. The technician wholearns to use the logic clip, logic probe, logic pulserand current tracer will acquire a good understandingof digital testing techniques.7-1.1 LOGIC CLIPThe logic clip is designed for logiclevel determination only on TTL and DTL logic conventions.The clip can test flip-flops, gates, counters,buffers, adders, shift registers, etc. It will not testICS with non-standard input levels or expandable gates.By means of the logic clip the logic levels at all pinsof a dual inline IC will be continuously displayed. Allinput pins are buffered to minimize circuit loading.The clip uses Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to display“high” and “low” levels. The clip automatically locatesthe Iogic chip V ccand ground pins of the chip, therebyeliminating any external power supply requirements.To use the logic clip the technician squeems the thickend of the clip to spread the contacts, and then placesthe clip on the IC to be tested. The LEDs on top of theclip will indicate the logic levels at each connected ICpin (the clip may be turned either way). There are nooperating controls on the logic clip.7-1.1.1 Theory of Operation of Logic ClipThe foIlowing refers to the logic clipblock diagram (Figure 7-l). Each pin of the logicclip is internally connected to a decision gate network,a threshold detector, and a driver amplifier connectedto an LED. The decision gate network finds the IC V ccpin (power voltage) and connects it to the clip powervoltage bus, activating an LED. The network finds alllogic High pins and activates corresponding LEDs. Allopen circuits are found and corresponding LEDs areactivated. Finally, the clip finds the IC ground pin andconnects it to the clip ground bus, blanking the correspondingLED. The decision gate network uses thefollowing flow diagram (Figure 7-2). The thresholddetector (refer to Figure 7-1) measures the inputvoltage. If the voltage exceeds the threshold voltage( ~ +2 VDC), the LED is activated. If the voltage isless than the threshold voltage ( ~ +.8 VDC), the LEDis not activated. An amplifier at the output of thethreshold detector drives the LED. If the operationof the logic clip is suspected to be faulty, the operationof each pin network should be tested with relation tothe others. For correct operation the logic clip musthave at least one V ccpin and a ground pin. Logic clippins not connected to any circuit will indicate a high.A five-volt battery can be used to check each logicclip pin network for correct operation. Connect fivevolts across two pins; the remaining 14 LEDs and the+V cc LED should then glow. Ground each pin one ata time (except the V cc); each LED that has a groundshould not glow. Use an adjustable low voltage powersupply to check the threshold of each log clip pin.7-1.2 LOGIC PROBEThe standard logic probe will detectand indicate valid logic levels. It will also indicate thepresence and polarity of single pulses of IO-nanosecondsor greater in duration. In addition, it will detect“bad” logic levels, such as an open input on a TTLgate, and open circuits, such as an open collector output,without pull-up resistors. The input loadingcharacteristics are similar to a low power TTL gateinput: is therefore compatible with almost all TTL andDTL circuitry. The logic level indicator lamp will givethe technician an immediate indication of the logicstates, both static and dynamic, which exist in thecircuit under test. Figure 7-3 shows how the logiclevel indicator lamp responds to voltage levels andpulses. The lamp has three possible states: off, dim andbright. The lamp is normally in its dim state and mustbe driven to one of its other two states by voltagelevels at the probe tip. The lamp is bright for inputlevels above the logic one threshold, and goes off forinputs below the logic zero thershold. The lamp isdim for voltage levels between the logic one and zerothresholds and for open circuits. The indicator willflash on and off at about ten times per second forpulse train inputs larger than 10 Hz. Typical logicprobe specifications are listed in Table 7-1.7-1.2.1 Logic Probe Theory of OperationThe Logic Probe Schematic Diagramshown in Figure 7-4 is used for the following Theoryof Operation explanation. At the probe input, R1 andCR “A” and CR “B” protect the probe from inputoverloads. At the power input connector, CR 1 andCR 3 protect the probe from reversed power connections.All input signals are applied to the twoORIGINAL 7-1

If the probe’sinput signal is more positive than the reference voltageof the logic One threshold detector, the detector’soutput will go High. Some hysteresis is injected toprevent instability, should the input voltage be equal tothe reference voltage. The output of gate A is normallyhigh (whereas gate G output is normally low). Theresultant low from gate B sets the SR flip-flop therebyplacing a high on the output of gate C. Coincident withthis event, two things take place: 1) QA lights the logiclevel indicator lamp; and 2) the high outputs from gateC and the One delay causes the output of gate E to golow. This disables gate F and prevents the indicatorlamp from turning off, should the input signal dropto zero during this pulse-stretching time. This crosscoupleddisabling characteristic is responsible for thelamp’s 10 Hz flash rate when the input is a high-frequencypulse train. Once the high from gate Cpropagates through the One delay ( ~ 50 ins), a lowon the R input of gate D attempts to reset the flip-flop.The flip-flop, however, will reset only if the input7-2 ORIGINAL

This occurs when the probe’s inputlevel reaches the “l” threshold. When the probe’svoltage is below the “O” threshold, the SR flip-flopin the zero channel is set high and thus prevents gateJ from lighting the indicator lamp. The high from theflip-flop and the high from the Zero delay preventthe One flip-flop from setting. When the probe voltageis not positive enough to activate the One channel orlow enough to activate the Zero channel, both flip-flopsare low. Both low outputs become connected to gate J,which turns QB and the lamp ON. Diode CR “C”provides an added diode voltage drop in the emittercircuit and causes the lamp to glow at only half itsbrightness. If the probe input is continuously Highthe One channel flip-flop output and the logic lampwill be High (the lamp will be ON) continuously.A single fast positive pulse, 5-10 nanoseconds orslower, will actuate the ONE channel flip-flop toproduce a 50-millisecond bright logic lamp flash.The delay circuit stretches the pulse. A positivepulsating signal with a frequency even slightly greaterthan 59 MHz will cause the lamp to flash on forabout 50 milliseconds at a rate of 10 times per second.The delay circuit stretches the pulses. Negative levelsor pulses will cause the lamp to switch off for about50 milliseconds.ORIGINAL 7-3

With the logic leveltest setup shown in Figure 7-5, the technician shouldset power supply B to +5 V ? 1~0 and power supplyA to give a probe voltage of +1.5V. The probe lampshould now glow dimly. Adjust power supply A untillamp glows at full brilliance/prohe tip voltage shouldnow be 2.0 V ~.2V. Adjust power supply A downwarduntil lamp glow is extinguished; probe tip voltageshould now be .8V ?.2 - .4V. If the probe powersupply is not +5 V, the 1ogic thresholds will change.The change is approximately .3 volt-threshold increaseper volt of power supply increase. When using the positivepulse test setup (Figure 7-6), set power supply Bto +5V. Set pulse generator to give a positive-going10 nanosecond pulse. Set the repetition rate to aboutone pulse per second. The probe lamp should flashat a once-per-second rate. With the negative pulse testset (Figure 7-7), set power supply B to +5V and powersupply A to 10V. Set pulse generator output polarityto negative. Adjust the pulse geneator to give waveformat the probe tip as shown in Figure 7-7. With a repetitionrate of one pulse per second, the probe lampshould flash off once per second. Table 7-2 shows therecommended test equipment for performing thesetests.7-1.2.3 Troubleshooting witha Logic ProbeWhen using the logic probe, a DC supplycan be obtained from either the circuit under test orfrom a separate +5 VDC supply. If a seperate supplyis used, the circuit under test and the power supplygrounds must be connected together. A ground clipis provided to improve pulse width sensitivity and noiseimmunity. The ground clip’s use is optional. The logicprobe is ideal for detecting short duration pulses andlow repetition rate pulses that would otherwise be verydifficult to observe on an oscilloscope.

One technique is to run the circuit under testat its normal clock rate while monitoring for variouscircuit control signals, such as reset, start, stop, shift,transfer, or clock signals. Questions such as “Is thecounter working?” are easily resolved by noting ifthe probe indicator is flashing on and off, whichindicates that pulse train activity is present. Anotheruseful technique is to replace the normal clock signalwith a very slow clock signal for a pulse generator, orto single-step the clock input with a logic pulser (thepulser will be discussed later). The changes in logicsignals should now occur at a rate slow enough thatthey can be observed on a real time basis. This realtime analysis technique, coupled with the ability toinject logic level pulses anywhere in the circuit with thelogic pulser and the ability to detect logic state changeswith the logic probe, contribute to rapid troubleshootingand accurate fault tracing in digital circuits.7-1.2.4 Logic Test ProbeAll modern electronic equipmentinvolves the use of some digitrd circuits to performvarious functions. It is therefore necessary to devise amethod of easy troubleshooting for locating faultyintegrated circuits or logic output cards. A simpleand quite reliable method employs the logic testprobe. Since the output of a digital circuit employseither a 1 or O (zero) condition, the logic test probecan, at a glance, indicate the circuit’s present state.The input(s) can then be verified by the same method,and a study of the circuit under test can determineif the correct output is present. (Refer to the digitaltroubleshooting methods section of this publicationfor a more detailed procedure for determining theproper output state of a logic circuit. Various logictest probes are available through the Naval SupplySystem and in the commercial market. Considerationsmust be observed when selecting a probe for a specificintended use. These considerations are:1. Frequency Response2. Minimum Pulse Width Response3. Circuit Loading4. Power Versatility7-1.2.4.1 Frequency ResponseThe frequency response of the probemust be greater than that of the circuit under test.This allows the logic probe time to correctly identifythe circuit’s output condition and then reset for thenext output indication while continuously monitoringa particular logic train. The probe divides this logictrain down to a rate in which the LED can be noticeablygated on and off, and not appear to be constantly“on” for a high frequency series of one-state-logicpulses. Probe response frequencies will range from2 MHz to 1<strong>00</strong> MHz, depending on the one selected.Typical high quality probes are of the 50 MHz variety,with 10 MHz being quite acceptable.7-1.2.4.2 Minimum Pulse WidthCharacteristicsPuke width characteristics are a primeconsideration when dealing with high-speed logiccircuits. Many logic probes employ protection circuitsto prevent them from being falsely triggered by noiseor by power source variations. Selecting a probe thatwill identify pulse durations in the nanosecond rangeis mandatory for testing modern logic equipment.Typical quality probes range from 10 to 1<strong>00</strong> nanoseconds.7-1.2.4.3 Circuit LoadingAs with any electronic test equipment,the amount of additional load that the test equipmentprovides to the driving circuit must be considered inorder to avoid possible fake indications.

Modified Logic ProbeThe input power should normally be taken from thecircuit under test. If it is not possible to thus use thetest circuit, then a separate +5 VDC supply may beused for power. However, in the latter case, the powersupply common return must be connected to theinstrument under test. The purpose of the logic pulseris to generate one Low and one High pulse each timethe associated probe is triggered. Triggering is accomplishedby depressing a micro-switch located onthe probe body. The state of the test node is of noconcern to the technician due to the fact that the logicunder test will be driven either from a high to a low,or from a low to a high. The high source and sinkcurrent capability of the pulser can override IC circuitoutput points, onginafly in either High or Low states.l%e output pulse width of 0.3 I-& limits the amount ofenergy delivered to the device under test, therebyeliminating the possibility of destruction. The pulserhas a tri-state output. In its “OFF” state the probe’shigh output impedance ensures that circuit operation isunaffected by probing until the pulse switch is pressed.Pulses can be injected while the circuit is operating andno disconnections are needed.7-1.3.1 Theory of Operationof Logic PulserWhen the pulser switch is activated(refer to Figures 7-12 and 7-13), the timing sequencestarts by resetting the R-S flip-flop. The F-F “out”terminal (pin 8) goes Low from High (when the pulseswitch is released, the flip-flop sets, and pin 8 goesHigh). Before the pulse button is pressed, UIB (Pin 3)is normally at 2.9 volts (a logic High). The Low pulsefrom UIB (pin 9) is differentiated by C3, R2, andR g. The output of UIB (pin 2 goes High when theinput goes Low. When the input voltage at UIB (pin3) uses the switching threshold, the output of UIBswitches back to Low. The UIB positive output pulsetime is approximately 0.3 microseconds. This time iscontrolled by C3, R 2, R9 and the switching thresholdof UIB. The positive pulse from UIB (pin 2) is appliedto both the High pulse output channel and the Lowpulse output channel. The positive pulse at the inputORIGINAL 7-11

This pulse starts thenthe original UI (pin 2) pulse stops. The negative pulsefrom UI (pin 10) switches Q1 on for the pulse time,producing a positive pulse at the collector. The positivepulse from the collector of Q 1switches Q 3on thusproducing the positive output pulse. Capacitor C5supplies current for the High pukes. Capacitor C6provides a low impedance path for the output pulseand protects the pulser from any DC voltages thatmay be inadvertantly applied to the pulsers’ outputprobe tip. Resistance R 8supplies a discharge pathfor C6. The prohe is protected by CR1, DS1, and Clfrom overvoltage being applied to the power supplyleads.

The currentstep sensor comprises a pickup core and winding andR 7protects the output channels from damage due toovervoltage or from reversed power supply connections.7-1.3.2 Troubleshooting witha Logic PulserThe technician can use the logic pulser,logic probe and logic clip jointly to throughly testa logic gate. For example, a logic gate may h testedby pulsing the gate’s input while monitoring the outputwith the logic probe (refer to Figure 7-14). The logicpulser generates a pulse opposite to the state of theinput line and thus can change the output’s state. Thisensures that the output of the gate is not clamped inits state by another input; for example, a High on theother input of an OR gate. If the pulse is not detectedat the output, pulse the output line (refer to Figure7-15). If the output is not shorted to V ccor the commonreturn, the logic probe should now indicate a LOGICPROBEpulse. If not, check for external shorts before removingthe IC. The logic pulser may also be used inHconjunction with a logic probe to verify the operationTESTof inverter-amplifiers. By pulsing the input to the inver- L GATEter-amplifier (refer to Figure 7-16) and placing thelogic probe on the output the technician should n- l - robserve a pulse on the output line. If no puke isdetected the output line should be checked for shortsas described above (refer to Figure 7-15) prior toreplacing integrated circuits. When testing counters,flip-flops and shift registers, the following proceduresmay be used. These devices typically have several outputpins where data must be monitored when testing.The logic pulser, when used as a manually-controlledclock, allows the logic clip to simultaneously examineall output data at rates convenient for viewing. Whenthe logic clip is placed on an IC, the LEDs on the clipindicate the logic state of each pin. As the puker clocksthe input, the indications on the clip can be comparedto a “truth” table.7-1.4 CURRENT TRACEROne of the more recent state of the artstook designed for use by digital technician is called a“Current Tracer.” The device is a hand-held probewhich enables the precise localization of low-impedancefaults in digital systems. Basically, the probe sensesthe magnetic field generated by a pulsating currentinternal to the circuit or by current pulses supplied byan external stimulus, such as a logic pulser. The technicianwill receive a visual indication of the presence ofcurrent pulses by the excitation of an indicator lamplocated near the probe’s tip.

Verifying Operation of Inverter-Amplifiersan eddy-current shield. The signal to be traced is sensedby the pickup winding and core. The variable-gainpreamp consists of Q1 and peripheral components. Thesignal from the current-step sensor is fed directly to thebase of Q1 and the output of Q1 is taken direct toU1. The gain of the variable-gain preamp is controlledby an ac-coupling of the emitter and collector of Q1(via capacitors C4 and C5) to the current-controlledvariable resistance presented by diode pairs CR4-CR6and CR5-CR7. Each end of each diode pair is returnedto signal ground or one of the ac-grounds formed bycapacitors C6, C7, and C8. Diodes CR1, CR2 and CR3determine the value of control current for the diodepairs. The gain control network adjusta the gain ofthe variable-gain preamp from -40 dB to +20 dB withan essentially constant high bandwidth. U1 serves toincrease the output of the variable-gain preamp. Interstateac-coupling of U1 is effected via R12 and C1O.The output of the fixed gain amplifier is ac-coupIedthrough C12 to amplifier U2, which provides additionalgain. The output of amplifier is internallycoupled to a bipolar peak detector (paM of U2) wherea pulse of either polarity results in rapid charging ofcapacitor C14. This charging signal, a positive stretchedversion of the input, with an amplitudeproportional to the input, discharges through R20. Theoutput of the bipolar peak-detector is fed into anotherpeak-detector consisting of an operational amplifier(P/O U3), with an additional stage in the feedbackloop (P/O U2). When the signal imposed on C14 ispositive, C15 becomes rapidly charged by U2 untilthe inputs to the operational-amplifier becomeequalized. The charge on C15 then slowly dischargesthrough R18, stretching the input pulse for sufficienttime to light the indicator lamp DS1. (Refer to Figure7-17.) The signal at C15 is de-coupled to the dcamplifier, which consists of an operational-amplifier(P/O U3) and series-pass transistor Q3. The gain isset by R25 and R27; C19 is provided to suppress oscillations.7-1.4.2 Troubleshooting witha Current TracerTbe current tracer operates on the principlethat whatever is driving a low impedance faultmode must also be delivering the most of the current.Tracing the path of this current thus leads directly tothe fault. Problems that are compatible with thisdiagnostic method are:1. Shorted inputs of ICS.2. Solder - bridges on PCs.3. Shorted conductors in cables.4. Shorts in voltage distribution networks.(V cc- to grid - shorts)5. Stuck logic data bus.6. Stuck wire - AND structure.The desirability of current tracer use is usuallyindicated when conventional troubleshooting revealsa low-impedance fault. The technician then aligns themark on the probe tip along the length of the printedcircuit trace at the driving end and adjusts the sensitivitycontrol until the indicator load barely lights.The probe is then moved slowly along the trace orplaced directly on the terminal points of the nodes (orIC pins), while observing for brightness of the indicatorlight. This method of following the path of the currentleads directly to the fault responsible for the abnormalcurrent flow. If the driving point does not providepulse stimulation, then the node may be drivenexternally by using a logic pulaer at the driving point.One of the most difficult problems encountered introubleshooting ICS is imposed by a stuck wire - ANDnode. Typically one of the open-collector gates maycontinue sinking current even after it has been turnedoff. Refernng to Figure 7-18, the technician shouldplace the current tracer on the gate side of the pull-upresistor. He must then align the mark on the probe tipalong the length of the printed-circuit trace, and adjustthe prohe’s sensitivity control until the indicator isjust fully lighted. If the indicator will not light, thenhe must use a logic pulser to excite the line. When thetracer tip is placed on the output pin of each gate onlythe faulty gate will cause the indicator bulb to light.When a low-impedance fault exists between two gates,the current tracer and logic pulser, when used in combinationquickly pinpoint the defect. In Figure 7-19,gate A output is shown shorted to ground. Place thepulser midway between the two gates and place thecurrent tracer tip on the pulser pin. Pulse the lineand adjust the current tracer sensitivity control untilthe indicator bulb just lights. First place the currenttracer tip next to gate A and then to gate B, whilen= I@ I ml A I 7-1 K

The tracer will lightonly on the gate A side, since gate A (the defect)is sinking most of the current. When checking printedcircuit traces which may be shorted by solder-bridgesor by other means, start the current tracer at the driverand follow the trace. Figure 7-20 shows an exampleof an incorrect current path due to a solder bridge.As the tracer probe follows the trace from gate A towardgate B, the indicator bulb remains lighted untilthe tracer passes the bridge. This is an indication thatthe current has found some path other than the trace.Visuafly inspect this area for solder splashes, etc. Thesetechniques also apply when troubleshooting shortedcable assemblies.

Typical Voltage Ranges forCMOS, ECL, TTL LogicCIRCUITCMOSECLTTLTYPICAL RANGE3 VDC to 15 VDC-5.2 VDC to O VDCO VDC to 5 VDC7-1.5 LOGIC COMPARATORAnother device that merits considerationis known as a “logic comparator.” The comparatoris an IC troubleshooting tool that electrically comparesa reference IC to an IC under test. The reference ICshares the power and input signals with the test IC.When comparing the output of the two ICS, any leveldifference existing for 0.2 pa or more will light anLED on the comparator, thereby indicating a faultexists. The logic pulser allows incircuit stimulation, sothat test pulses may be introduced at circuit nodes.Thus, reset or synchronizing pulses may be injected toreset the comparator IC to the same initial state asthat of the test IC. This allows both the referenceand test ICS to start at the same initial reference point.7-1.6 LOGIC ANALYZERSMinicomputer system users can txmefitfrom a better knowledge of debugging and troubleshootingprocedures which use logic analyzers. Thebest way to obtain an overview of what a logic analyzeris and how it is used with minicomputers is to examinesome of the common uses. The following techniquesare also applicable to microprocessors and largercomputers.7-1.6.1 Software Diagnostic TechniquesProblem solving in a minicomputer isusually a complex task. A typical system can consistof a computer and many peripheral units. One ormore of these peripheral units can also be considered“intelligent” with respect to the minicomputer. Asvarious systems have been developed, sets of troubleshootingprograms have been developed which arecalled “program (software) diagnostics.” Softwarediagnostics are used to troubleshoot the CentralProcessing Unit (CPU) and units on memory and input/output (1/0) buses. A well-designed software diagnosticcan usually identify a specific faulty module, but cannotalways identify the cause of malfunction. Softwarediagnostics have several major limitations when solelyused for troubleshooting, namely:1. To use the diagnostic effectively,the system must be running at a minimal level.2. A dead system or hung-up bus cannotbe troubleshot with software.3. Intermittent problems are difficultto find using diagnostics.4. Diagnostics will normally notidentify software problems.For a full set of troubleshooting tools, softwarediagnostics must be joined with instruments whichmonitor system lines, activity, and timing in terms ofreal time. For troubleshooting minicomputer systemseffectively the real-time analytical capabilities of alogic analyzer are needed.7-1.6.2 LimitationsMicroprocessor-controlled logic analyzersprovide a powerful measurement tool capableof testing complex minicomputer systems. To be usefulin troubleshooting, the logic analyzer must be able tocollect, store and display information, perform functionalmeasurements, and interface with other measurementdevices.7-1.6.3 Data AcquisitionLogic analyzers monitor minicomputersystems when running at their normal speeds. Twoquestions arise because of this: 1) how is the dataacquired; and 2) what does this data represent?7-1.6,3.1 Data ChannelsA typicaf minicomputer has 16 or18 bits of address; some may have as many as 32.This article primarily addresses a 16-bit unit for data,plus two control lines (18 total). Consequently, even7-18 ORIGINAL


GENERAL MAINTENANCEearly models of logic analyzers accommodate aminimum of 16 input channels plus two or more inputsfor control lines or external signals. Units having32 inputs can employ four or more auxiliary inputchannels.7-1.6.3.2 Trace SpecificationThe data collected by a logic analyzerand shown on the display is called a “trace, ” just likethat on an oscilloscope. This trace provides a “window”on the data flow state of the minicomputer. The processof determining where to place the window is called“trace specification.” The simplest trace specificationis a single pattern trigger. For simple in-line programflow, a particular state is set on the analyzer. Whenthat state appears for the first time, it acts as a triggerfor the logic analyzer memory, and the subsequentstates are stored. Programs in minicomputer systems,however, are rarely simple, therefore a more sophisticatedtrace specification is needed. Consider now aprogram with many complex branching networks(Figure 7-22). A sequential trigger, such as shown inFigure 7-22 permits a trace to be obtained for a uniqueprogram path selected from several different paths.Sequential triggering can also be used to pick upparameters entered early in program flow for use insubsequent subroutines. The logic anafyzer then displaysthese parameters first, just ahead of the tracelisting of the subroutine.7-1.6.4 Multiple-Occurence TriggerA multiple-occurent trigger provides avaluable trace specification for unraveling nestedloops in program flow. For example, a program maysample many peripheral units sequentially (majorloop), receive data from each peripheral unit (minorloop), and then format data from each transmission(subminor loop). The combination of a sequentialtrigger and a multiple occurrence trigger could focusthe analyzer window such that it views only thesixth data format of the third data transmission fromperipheral unit three. Two trace specifications whichhelp to monitor the clock and contxol lines are: theORed trigger and the ANDed trigger. one anafyzer (HPModel 1615A) has a glitch trigger which initiates atrace if interference of a specified magnitude occurson a designated signal line. These trace specificationsprovide quicker and more effective analysis of minicomputersystems. They allow the technician to checkonly state flow that is pertinent to the problem, andfocus more quickfy on hardware of software that maybe malfunctioning.7-1.6.5 Data StorageTrace specification is a selective trace,hence only the states of interest are stored in the logicNAVSEA SEOOO-<strong>00</strong>-<strong>EIM</strong>-<strong>160</strong> DIGITAL TROUBLESHOOTINGTECHNIQUESanalyzer. Data thus stored for analysis can be restrictedto a particular operation, specific activities, or to a certainrange of addresses. To capture every state activitywould require excessive memory capacity, and wouldtax the technician’s time by forcing him to studylarge amounts of output data in order to locate singlemalfunctions. A selective trace provides the dataneeded, and omits activities that are of no importanceto the situation under investigation.7-1.6.6 Data DisplayAfter the desired data has been stored,it must be displayed in a meaningful format foranalysis. Logic analyzers offer a variety of formats,which fall into three general categories: 1) list displays,2) timing diagrams, and 3) overall system overviews.7-1.6.6.1 List DisplayThe most frequently used format is alist display (Table 7-5) which is a convenient formatfor detailed analysis of software execution. Freedomto specify the format will vary with the particularlogic analyzer used. The two logic analyzers used forexamples here will be the HP 161OA and the HP 1615 A.The technician can choose clock slopes, logic polarity,numerical bases, and group inputs under differentlabels.7-1.6.6.2 Timing DiagramsThe model HP 1615A Logic Analyzerprovides an 8-channel timing diagram (Figure 7-23).Figure 7-23 timing display shows activity on controllines for a typical bus data transaction as a displaymode. Timing diagrams show the actuaf time relationbetween control lines; these diagrams facilitate investigationof “handshake” and control state problems. TheHP 1615A can display timing phenomena that occurprior to a trigger point, make single-shot multichannelmeasurements, and detect and trigger or glitches.7-1.6.6.3 System OverviewThe graph mode (Figure 7-24) providesa convenient display feat~!re which is available on theHP 1610 Logic Analyzer. A selected parameter, i.e.,address, is plotted with magnitude on the Y-axis, andthe sequence of its occurrence is plotted on the X-axis(Figure 7-24). With this form of display, the techniciancan quickly identify irregularities and breaks inprogram flow. Figure 7-24 graph shows the overallsystem activity during a program loop.7-1.6.7 Functional MeasurementsCommon functional measurementsinclude elapsed time of program execution for twosystems; elapsed time of execution for two programson the same machine; and an event-count for aparticular routine. These and similar measurementsprovide quantitative information as to the comparativeORIGINAL 7-19

A Complex Program With Branching Networkmerit of instruments, efficiency of a software code andlikely sites of malfunction.7-1.6.8 Interaction with OtherInstrumentsWhen troubleshooting it is usuallyconvenient to use analog measurement tools inconjunction with the logic analyzer. Many logicanalyzers provide some form of trigger output based ona defined state of timing condition. The trigger outputis also useful for gating clocks, interrupting the systemactivity, triggering circuits, or halting the system atbreakpoints to permit static debugging. A commontroubleshooting technique is to pinpoint a faulty pieceof hardware through state flow analyses and then usethe trigger capabilities of the log analyzer to trigger anoscilloscope to study the waveform at that particularpoint.7-1.7 MINICOMPUTERSMinicomputers basically fall into twogroups by virtue of operation: asynchronous andsynchronous. Asynchronous operation transmits signalsunder control interlocked “handshake’-’ (interrupt)signals. In synchronous operation, sequence oftransmissions is controlled by equally spaced cIocksignals.7-1.7.1 Asynchronous OperationTypical of asynchronous systems is aDEC PDP-11 which uses a single 56-line unibus forcommunication between the CPU, memory, and anyperipheral devices. Communication between devices isdefined by the sequence of states on a set of interlockedunibus lines, termed the “handshake” (intermpt)sequences. A priority of “handshake” (interrupt)sequence sets the master-slave relationship at anygiven time and specifies what type of informationis being passed, and where. Another asynchronoussystem is the DEC LSI-11. While the PDP-11 unibushas separate address lines, the DEC LSI-11-Q-BUSmultiplexes address and data on the same lines. Figure7-25 is a typical example of a system which operatesasynchronously.7-20

It is desirable, and sometime necessary, toemploy a system-timing generator. These usually consistof two buses: a higher speed memory bus, and aslower speed INPUT/OUTPUT bus for peripherrdequipment. An example of a synchronous system (theHP 21 MX) is shown in Figure 7-26. As withasynchronous systems, signal path is determined by thesequence of states on the control lines, but the time ofdata transmission is set by defined cycles of time.process signals to the logic analyzer. The PDP-11unibus, for example, does not have a distinct clocksignalassociated with address or data lines, thereforeit operates asynchronously using “handshake” (interrupt)signais. A dedicated interface, the HP 10275APDP-11 unibus interface derives a logic analyzer clockwith decoding circuits or interrupt signals. Some signalpreprocessing is accomplished directly on the interfaces.L7-1.8 SETTING UP THELOGIC ANALYZERThe first step in viewing activity on a minicomputerequipped with a logic analyzer is connectingthe system to the analyzer. The technician has theoption of connecting 24 to 36 individual leads, butthis procedure ‘is time-consuming and is prone to error.A much more convenient way to connect the systemand the analyzer is to use a dedicated interface. Mostcompanies offer interfaces for the more popularminicomputers, such as the PDP-11. Some companiesalso offer a general purpose probe interface, such as theHP 10277. The prolxe interfaces include interchangeablewire-wrapped boards that allow the technician to7-1.9 STATE FLOW ANALYSISState flow measurements illustrate techniquesfor monitoring a complex program execution interms of rerd time.

Byusing a few simple steps the technician can locate agross error and quickly narrow the field to a smallarea around the discontinuity. Using the abovedescribed technique,, the technician can rapidly findvery difficult problems.7-1.9.4 Measurements on SelectedTypes of InformationWhen only one type of information is to becollected analysis is greatly simplified. The operatormay have indicators that one 1/0 is malfunctioning,as a subroutine is suspect. Tracking only one kind ofinformation is achieved by display qualifications. Thetechnician selects for viewing only the transactionsthat pertain to what he is looking for, which makesyour troubleshooting more efficient and reduces therequired size of analyzer memory. One type of measurementrequiring display qualification is the veritlcationof data stored in the transmit buffer on the serial1/0. Continuing use of Table 7-6 compares the messagetransferred beginning at address 25<strong>00</strong>8” to the displayshown in Table 7-7 as a check of the operation of theserial 1/0 channel. Changing the trace specification totrack only state addrew in the <strong>00</strong>25XX8 field andsetting the amdyzer interface switch to write producesthe trace list of Table 7-10 which is comprisedtotally of write commands to the transmit buffer.Comparing this to the terminal display provides acheck on data transmission to that buffer. A secondexample of display qualification is that of checkingthe execution of a single routine in this case set thetrace specification menu to trace. Only states1775668, which is the address of the transmit bufferregister on the 1/0 port. Then set the qualifier switchon the analyzer interface to WRITE. The printout(Table 7-11) from the analyzer memory, (includingtranslation of data bits to Alphanumeric characters andthe display shown in Figure 7-31) sbould agree. Ifthese agree, then it can be safely assumed that the1/0 channel is working correctly.LORIGINAL 7-25

Suppose the technician is only interestedin this routine when it occum after address 27148.With sequential triggers this can be done simply bylisting address 2714 and 2120 as the only two termsto be found in sequence. The trace specificationmenu for this condition is illustrated in Figure 7-33and simply lists the two addresses, each occuring once.The trace list will show the two sequential terms andlist the subsequent states.

In the trace listshown in Table 7-12 only four states occured betweenthe two terms. It is obvious with the option of upto 7 trigger words it is easy to specify only the branchof interest.7-1.9.5.2 Tracing Nested LoopsThe capability for sequential triggersis also a convenient feature when analysis of informationcontained in nested loops is desired. Anexample of this can be found in the Figure 7-34. Oneroutine writes a space and all 94 printable ASC1lcharacters to the terminal as shown in (Table 7-13).Every time the major loop is executed once (J), theminor loop (K) is executed 94 times. For an exerciseconsider how best to trace program execution followingthe 36th occurrence of the K loop during the 5th pass ofthe J loop. Most logic analyzers have a trigger delay,therefore the number of states to be skipped follow theoccurance of a triggered word. Then using a littlearithmetic one can trace the desired portion of programexecution by using a trigger address of 2<strong>00</strong>628,and a trigger delay of 412 states [(4 x 94) +36], this isonly valid assuming the loops are of equal length. Abetter way exists to use sequential triggers, as is shownin Figure 7-35.

Notethat in this case occurances of the address of the minorloop are counted. The resulting trace (Table 7-13)shows the count of occurances of address 2<strong>00</strong>62 inthe right hand column. The first count, 376 (4 x 94),shows that four complete passes of the major loopoccurred before the 36 passes of the minor loopwas counted. Sequential triggers make it simple totrace information deep in the nested loops of fixedor variable length without the bother and potentialerrors of using trigger delay and “simple” arithmetic.7-1.9.6 Measuring Execution TimeThe count time measure is especiallyusetld for benchmark tests to check for programefficiency. As an example, the 1/0 service routineshown in Figure 7-36 can be evaluated using timemeasures available on a 1610 logic state analyzer.This routine moves a 12 character string to a buffer,then moves the characters one by one to a terminal,with 150ns between each transmission. The tracespecification menus (Figure 7-37) is set to count time,and the time count is set to relative on the associatedtrace list (7-14). Relative time counts are listed foreach state, and each time is measured between thestak and the preceding listed state. Table 7-15/-28 ORIGINAL

Results from the error could show up fardownstream from the error, and the original problemmay be missed. The HP 1610 analyzer has a tracecompare mode which can be applied in situationswhere an error condition occurs sporadically. Firstthe likely location of the error is defined, and a traceis made of a program segment which is known to beexecuting properly (Table 7-16). The correct traceis stored in the analyzer memory. The 3 choices forsubsequent traces, are OFF, STOP=, or STOP#. Usingthe “stop if not equal” (STOP#) operation, so long asa new trace is the same as the stored trace, the displayshows zeros (Table 7-17). If the new traces does notcompare to the stored one Table 7-16; the analyzerhalts and the display of Table 7-18, will containnon-zero numbers. These numbers, whenconverted to binary numbers specify whichbinary bits are nonmatching. For example inTable 7-18, line 10 is 348. Converted to binary,<strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>348 = <strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>0111<strong>00</strong>, and bits 2, 3, 4 ofline 10 of the new trace do not match the correspondingbits of line 10 of the stored trace list.--------TRACE SPECIFICATION---------TWCE-COMPLETE----------------------LABEL D OCCURBASE O:T OCT DECFIND IN S; N&NCE 02<strong>00</strong>90 XXXXXX 09!301021?E13fI XXXXXX 99995[START] TRACE o2L3062 XXXXXX 13PL136SEQ RESTART [OFF]LTRACE[ALL STATESICOUNT [STATE]02<strong>00</strong>62 XXXXXX/Figure 7-35.Trace Specification of Loop KORIGINAL 7-31

However,there are problems that are best found throughanalysis of the timing of the various signals. Timing isoften the most crucial factor in difficulties relatedto interface and control, glitches, clocks, phasing andsimilar problems. To illustrate the use of a logicanalyzer in timing analysis, three examples of commonmeasurement are given. For measurements on controllines and glitch detection a HP 1615A is used.7-1.10.1 Analysis of Timing Relationshipsof Control LinesA system crash always demandsimmediate attention and resolution. In this example,each time a program is started at address 6<strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>8,the processor halts and the run light extinguishes.Anafysis of both address and control lines is required.The first step to be taken is to connect the analyzer tothe minicomputer in question. This may be accomplishedmany ways, but for this example we will beusing an interface adapter. Pods 2 and 3 will be usedfor the 16 bits of address and pod 1 will be used forcontrol lines. Pod 1 will be labeled in accordance withTable 7-19. For this example the format specificationmenu and the trace specification menu are shown in.-------TRACE SPECIFICATION-----. ---TWCE-COMPLETE ---------------------- ----LABELOCCURBASE O:T O:T DECFIND IN SEQUENCE <strong>00</strong>2630 XXXXXX <strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>1THEN <strong>00</strong>2664 XXXXXX <strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>1THEN 0~2674 XXXXXX 0@0L31THEN 1302704 XXXXXX <strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>1[START] TRACE <strong>00</strong>2706 XXXXXX <strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong>1SEO RESTART [OFF]TRACE[ALL STATES]COUNT [TIME]Figure 7-37.

If the programwere executed properly the sequence of control eventswould be as shown in Table 7-20. As shown byFigure 7-39, the trace list is generated so it is evidentthat the trigger address 06<strong>00</strong><strong>00</strong> is never reached. Whilestill in this post crash state, it may be worthwhileto look at the control lines. This is accomplished bychanging the mode of the analyzer to timing andusing any event labeled (Figure 7-38) as a trigger.This results in a display as shown in Figure 7-40.Examining Figure 7-40, we can see that line 2,HALTREQUES (HLTRQ) is a HI, which of coursehalts the program. The next problem is why did theHLTRQ go HI. Choosing “END MODE” and triggeringa HLTRQ will display the events that took place priorto HLTRQ going HI.

In the minicomputerued as an example the ROM circuit has a special clockcontrol circuit to compensate for its long memoryaccess time. This circuit consists of an adjustable oneshot. By connecting the spare line (line 2) to theoutput of the one shot, and repeating the test it givesthe display shown in Figure 742. Then the time of theoneshot can be measured using the cursor on theanalyzer. In this example the output of the one shotis shown to be 21.8 microseconds; this exceeds the20 microseconds allowed and therefore the CPUdeclares a timing fault and sets halt request. ByFigure 7-40.

Timing Diagram of ControlLine with Cursorcause the system to malfunction. Using the previousexample, an analysis will be made of a differentproblem. In this example a terminal rewire routineis interrupt driven and is entered by pressing any keyon the keyboard. The problem in this example is thatevery time a key is pressed the program halts. Totroubleshoot this problem the setup and proceduresof the preceding problem are used, and as before adisplay of the quiescent states of the control linesfollowing the halt shows tht the HLTRQ flag has beenset. This time triggering on the HLTRQ line oneviewing the preceding activity on the control linesreveals no abnormal conditions (Figure 7-43). Acapability for both state and timing analysis is aparticular advantage for troubleshooting problemslike this. The sequence of events suggests that a glitchcould be involved, but an error in softwareshould not be overlooked. The HP 1665A Logicanalyzer defines a glitch as multiple transitions accrossthe threshold between sampling periods. If a glitchoccurs it appears as a vertical bar, brighter and widerthan the timing marks, and can be easily distinguishedeven if it occurs at a timing transition. For thisanalysis, the next step is to check the activity oncontrol and address lines before HLTRQ is set.

The trace specification menu is altered toset a time delay of 15 microseconds to display activitybefore and after the trigger on the setting of HLTRQflag. Resuming the test and viewing the timing diagram(Figure 7-46) shows that a power fail signal does occuron the AC LO line. This signal only occurs after theinterrupt from the terminal and coincides with thebus request for interrupt on the BR-4(line6). Thetwo signals are of unequal duration, which suggestthat they are related, but not tied together. Two likelycauses are 1) a wiring glitch on the input to the ACLOone shot. Figure 7-47 shows this being done and alsoshows a glitch on the input line to the one shot whichoccurs at the same time as interrupt from the terminalon line 6. A more detailed view (Figure 7-48) is gainedby expanding the sweep with the time ten (x 10)magnifier, confining the concurrence of the glitchand the interrupt. In this example the glitch wascaused by capacitive coupling between the two linescrossing the halt. The problem can be corrected byreducing the capacitance between the two lines. Theinteractive use of time and state traces reduces a complexproblem through a short series of logical steps,each more narrowily defining the range of likelyproblem areas.7-1.10.3 Asynchronous Measurementwith a Logic State AnalyzerThe first two examples of timinganalysis used the HP 1615A which perform bothORIGINAL 7-37
