External conduit service and terminal cabinet restoration

ESV-S02-SOP-02   Ground station   Simulation procedure



Rehearse replacement-position handling of an external conduit and its gland interfaces, preserving earthing and cabinet closure. Detect an interrupted-earth-path teaching fault and restore a complete service record.

Use this procedure to author and assess a controlled simulation with the Ground station model, version 3. This is a concept-model training exercise. It does not authorise real hardware work or establish flight qualification.

Before the exercise

The terminal is inert and its drives and transmission are disabled. The task owner supplies external conduit routes, supported stow poses, gland states, earthing-map evidence and any simulated continuity or weather-barrier test results. No hidden cabinet electronics are inferred.

1 Identify the external service route

Model labels: cabinet, conduit_upper, conduit_lower, conduit_aux

Select the cabinet and three visible conduits. Use the task card to distinguish the affected auxiliary route from the upper and lower routes that remain in serviceable baseline positions.

Check: Selecting the wrong conduit prevents the release sequence.

2 Confirm the isolated work package

Model labels: cabinet, drive_upper, drive_lower

Review the scenario isolation record for the cabinet, drives and RF function. Confirm the record identifies this exact terminal and task revision.

Check: No removal or reconnection can be completed under an unconfirmed isolation state.

3 Record the earth path

Model labels: earth_lead, earth_stud, earth_stud_lug, pedestal_earth_terminal

Trace the external earth route and capture its baseline endpoints. Match the visible identifiers to the supplied continuity record.

Check: A visual cable connection alone does not prove electrical continuity.

4 Open the cabinet access view

Model labels: cabinet_door, cabinet_hinge_upper, cabinet_hinge_lower

Use the defined maintenance-open pose for the door. Keep its hinge references and cabinet fixed while exposing the external gland area.

Check: Use an authored cover transform when actual hinge travel is not established.

5 Support and release the auxiliary conduit

Model labels: conduit_aux, conduit_aux_band, gland_lower

Set the conduit support state, release the authored band and gland attachment states, and identify the safe disconnected pose.

Check: Support and correct route identity must precede any release.

6 Move the conduit clear

Model labels: conduit_aux, gland_lower, conduit_lower

Move the affected conduit into its supported stow pose along the defined path. Preserve the lower conduit route and its band.

Check: Dragging the unaffected route or leaving the loose end inside the drive envelope fails the step.

7 Catch the interrupted earth route

Model labels: earth_lead, earth_stud_lug, pedestal_earth_terminal

Present a fault variant in which the earth-path status record no longer agrees with its accepted endpoints. Place a hold and retain the fault evidence.

Check: The learner must not accept a cosmetic reconnection as proof of a valid earth path.

8 Restore the reviewed earth configuration

Model labels: earth_lead, earth_stud, earth_stud_lug

Restore the specified endpoint and lug states using the reviewed correction. Link the replacement continuity teaching record to the same configuration.

Check: The hold remains active until endpoint identity and the required test evidence agree.

9 Refit the external conduit

Model labels: conduit_aux, gland_lower, conduit_aux_band

Return the affected conduit to its approved route, restore the gland interface and engage its retaining band. Compare the route with the saved baseline.

Check: A retained band does not compensate for a wrong gland or a route crossing the movement envelope.

10 Reconcile the other service routes

Model labels: conduit_upper, conduit_lower, conduit_upper_band, conduit_lower_band

Verify both unaffected conduits and their retention against the initial snapshot. Record any unintended movement as a discrepancy to resolve.

Check: All routes must have an explained final state before cabinet closure.

11 Restore the cabinet closure

Model labels: cabinet_door, cabinet_fastener_upper_right, cabinet_fastener_lower_right

Return the door and attachment groups to their accepted closed states. Review the supplied weather-barrier teaching evidence if required by the scenario.

Check: Closure is assessed geometrically; sealing performance requires its own evidence.

12 Submit the service handover

Model labels: cabinet, conduit_aux, earth_lead, earth_stud

Hand over the affected route, isolation record, earth fault and recovery, gland and band states, final closure and required test records.

Check: Completion requires a resolved earth hold and an accepted final external configuration.

Assessment and completion

Score route identification 20, supported handling and release order 20, earth-fault recovery 25, restoration 25 and evidence handover 10. Work before isolation, an unsupported loose conduit or unresolved earth-path evidence prevents completion.

Authoring and headless handoff

Keep the exercise on visible external equipment. Bind conduit, band, gland, earth-lug and door states to existing labels. Provide a recorded continuity result rather than generating an electrical measurement from appearance. The exercise must preserve the unaffected routes and avoid assumptions about cabinet internals.

Reuse the exact GLB and component identifiers above. Verify the supported Genesis import and binding path; the current Creator scene driver can generate a different model. This document and its JSON describe authoring intent, not completed interactions. Preserve one model revision and record actual lesson, job and review identifiers during execution.
