RPM SCA-775 Module Replacement

Upon arrival, brief system operators on expected work, duration, anticipated alarms, and fault indications before starting work. 

Re-route pedestrian traffic.

Use orange safety (traffic control) cones to setup barriers. Practice established safety protocols. 

Open all doors needed to access components.

Locate Ethernet connector on top of SC-770 controller. Press release button on back of connector. Pull connector. 

Move LD-260 switch to OFF position. The PWR ON LED will turn off.

Use a magnet to disable tamper switches for all open doors. Use adhesive tape to disable older mechanical switches. 

Verify sensors mounted in control pillar door are receivers.

To disconnect sensor cable, turn collar counterclockwise and pull away from sensor.

Connectors are disconnected by turning lock ring multiple times and then pulling straight down.

Normally the cover screws are captured and should not come out of cover.

To prevent breaking the hinge on the module / door, once the retainer screws are loosened, take care to gently pull the bottom of the cover away from the module approximately ¼ʺ before letting the door open.

The screws to be removed are located in the bottom of the irregularly shaped hole next to the round hole. Insert the long shaft small Phillips screwdriver into each of the four corner pockets and loosen/remove screws.

Use tag or tape. Include date of removal, description of failure symptoms, country, site, and lane number. Dispose per Nuclear Smuggling Detection and Deterrence (NSDD) guidance or contractual requirements.

Install all screws loosely at first to facillitate easy mounting, then gently but firmly tighten all four screws. 

The cable connectors are different sizes and keyed so they cannot be reinstalled incorrectly. 

Verify each cable is connected to the appropriate connector.

If the follow-on alignment and functional compliance test procedures are to be completed immediately, there is no need to close the SCA-775 module cover; if not, close the cover and tighten the screws. 

Move LD-260 switch to ON position. The LED PWR ON will illuminate.

RPM will perform a power on self-test (POST) and collect a background radiation measurement.
