Housing Remanufacturing

When our remanufacturing department receives housings, any missing pieces are added before the process begins.

Examples: Clamps, screws, bolts, etc...

The housing covers are closed, and all bolts are sealed to prevent the entry of water or any other solution.

After being sealed, the housings are placed in a cleaning and polishing machine, where they receive an intense cleaning treatment with chemicals and vibrations, which rub off the dirt and corrosion that they may have accumulated. At the same time, the machine polishes all the housings with the aid of small ceramic particles mixed with a special liquid solution giving the equipment a final touch.

The cleaning and polishing of the housings does not weaken its metal in any way thanks to the type of technology used. Instead, it gives the housing a shiny presentation and more protection to withstand storms and bad weather throughout the life of the equipment.

There are 0.05% of the housings that maintain some corrosion after the process of cleaning and polishing. These are returned to be cleaned with an Econo Finish Blast machine which removes the first layer of the surface of the equipment, resulting in the removal of any stubborn dirt or corrosion.

After the cleaning and polishing process, the housings are then rinsed and dried to remove any residues accumulated throughout the procedure.

In the final stage, the housings are open and verified to have no sign of water inside, ensuring that the sealing process is completely airtight.

Finally, the housings are ready to be ordered and are arranged in pallets where they can be shipped to the appropriate destinations.

Line Equipment Remanufacturing

Selection

The line gear equipment is received at the remanufacturing department where their lids are removed, inspected, and discarded if there is any damage caused by water, short circuiting, or physical imperfections. After being selected, all the needed accessories* are installed.

* Accessories: (Fuses, attenuators, equalizers, bodes, MDR, LDR, Jumpers, hybrids, filters, optical transmitter and receivers, etc...…) .

Performance Tests

After being selected and adding all its accessories, the line gear must then pass a few tests to ensure that the performance of the equipment complies with the manufacturer's specifications, both in the forward and reverse signals.

Note: equalizers and attenuators used to test the equipment are at 0dB, in order to assess the performance of the equipment at its maximum gain.

Checking the level of voltage Teams Line .

Line gear with internal power supplies included are tested in order to establish the voltage of the alternating and direct current (AC/DC); at the same time making sure they meet the requirements set forth by the manufacturer.

If the line gear does not have its own power supply, it is hooked up to an external power supply and its AC and DC are tested according to manufacturer specifications.

After satisfactorily passing these tests, the line gear is then tested with an audio and video program modulated to simulate its work in the field.

Customizing line gear

Following the tests, the line gear equipment proceeds to an area of personalization where they are prepared according to customer specifications.

Example: (attenuators, equalizers, jumpers, TDU, ADU, ACB Monitor, optical transmitters and receivers, etc. ...) .

Housings are added, at the customer’s request, using the inserts required by the manufacturer.

Remanufacturing Power Supply Line

External line gear Power Supply Line without Stand By.

The External Power Supply is connected with an indicated voltage to verify the exit of AC voltage and the form that the wavelength displays, to make sure that they fulfill the specifications of the manufacturer.

External line gear Power Supply Line with Stand By.

Batteries are connected to the power supply (voltage varies based on model).

Next, the unit is connected to a specified voltage in order to measure the output voltage when connected and when there is an interruption in the power. This is done in order to introduce the change in wavelength and to ensure the output voltage is stable and can withstand an interruption in power (the output in the external power supply vary depending on the model).

The Finishing Touch

After all the tests are satisfactorily passed during the remanufacturing and repair phase, the equipment is given a warranty and security seal. These seals specify the order number, technician who inspected them, and date in which they were tested.
