1 INTRODUCTION
This Service Manual describes repair procedures of the NIDEK Satellite Tracer, LT-980.
To conduct repairs properly, thorough understanding of the contents in this manual is required
prior to the service.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual and Parts List for the LT-980.
In addition, refer to the Service Manual and Parts List for the tracer ASSY (LETR-1) which is built
in the LT-980.
In case the instrument cannot be repaired by the procedures described in this manual, please
report the serial number of the instrument and details of the symptom or symptoms.
Refer to the Service Manual Annex for important changes.

2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 . Requirements for prior contact regarding repair
1 ) When conducting repairs described in the Service Manual or Service Manual Annex,
prior contact with NIDEK is not necessary.
2 ) When conducting repairs not covered in the Service Manual or Service Manual
Annex, prior contact with NIDEK in writing is required.
3 ) When for some reason, repairs were conducted because they needed to be done
immediately, or other such circumstance, contact NIDEK as soon as possible in writ-
ing after conducting repairs to the instrument.
2 . General precautions
1 ) Servicing must be performed by NIDEK service persons or other qualified personnel.
2 ) Observe the procedures described in this manual.
3 ) Never wipe the covers using an organic solvent such as paint thinner. Doing so may
ruin the surface and impair the appearance of the system.
4 ) When performing maintenance work, turn off the power switch and disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet unless the power needs to be on.
3 . Cautions related to power supply and power cable
1 ) Disconnect the power cord by holding its plug. Do not place heavy objects on the cord
or coil the cord tightly. A damaged power cord may cause fire or electric shock.
2 ) Occasionally clean the prongs of the power plug with a dry cloth. If dust accumulates
between the prongs, the dust will collect moisture, and short circuit or fire may occur.
3 ) Insert the power plug into the wall outlet completely. A fire may occur if the tracer is
used with improper connection.
4 ) Do not overload the electrical outlet. A fire may occur.
5 ) Be sure to use an outlet equipped with a ground terminal. Electric shock may occur in
the event of malfunction or power leakage.
6 ) Be sure to use a wall outlet that meets the power requirements. If the line voltage is
too high or too low, the tracer may not perform properly. Electric shock, malfunction,
or fire may result.
4 . Maintenance cautions
1 ) Take antistatic precautions prior to repair.
2 ) Take proper care against electric shock during repair.
3 ) Tighten or loosen screws with proper tools.
4 ) Never drop parts or screws inside the system.
5 ) Prepare storage cases so as not to lose the removed screws or parts.
6 ) After loosening the screws fixed by a threadlocking adhesive, be sure to reapply the
threadlocking adhesive to the screws when retightening them.
7 ) After replacing parts, confirm that they are fastened in their original positions securely
before turning on the power.
8 ) See Wiring Diagram and Connecting Cable to check cable breaks as described in
TROUBLESHOOTING. In addition, check cables for the following:
a . Connectors are connected and crimped properly.
b . No contact failure occurs after re-connection of connectors.
c . Cables are soldered properly.

LLT9A*RDA002A
10
* Do not yank the cables with excessive force. Doing so could cause cable break-
age.
* Never perform servicing with wet hands. Doing so could cause electric shock or
malfunction
9 ) The labeled area indicates high voltage. Take proper precautions against electric
shock.
10) When a cable with any of the following marks is disconnected and reconnected, be
sure to confirm that the screws are tightened securely.
a . Protective ground:
b . Functional ground:
c . Equipotential:
11 ) Install the device where the outlet which the power plug is inserted into is easily
accessible during use. In addition, ensure that the power plug can be disconnected
without the use of a tool.
Otherwise, it may interfere with disconnection of the device from the input power
source in case of abnormality.
5 . Adjustment precautions
1 ) Confirm that the following conditions are met before installation.
a . A place which is level and stable without vibration and shock
b . No exposure to direct sunlight or ultraviolet rays
c . A place with minimal external light sources
d . No exposure to water
e . A place where temperature and humidity meet the specifications for use
f . Dust-free and smoke-free
2 ) Never use the adjustment jigs for purposes other than those intended.
6 . Caution after repair
1 ) Confirm that the instrument operates properly after repair.
