1.5 Recommended Tools
It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every tool that a service
technician should carry. However, the tools specifically required for
servicing TB8100 equipment are listed in the table below. You can also
obtain the TBA0ST2 tool kit from your nearest Tait Dealer or Customer
Service Organisation. It contains the basic tools needed to install, tune and
service TB8100 equipment.
Important We strongly recommend that you use the TB8100 card
remover (as shown in Figure 15.1 on page 263) for remov-
ing the plug-in cards in the PMU. The card remover is
included in the TBA0ST2 tool kit, and is also available sep-
arately as part number 220-02034-01.
