Verify the current frequency plan configuration. To verify the plan, check the connections between the 
J connectors (located on the board and labeled 

J1

 and 

J2

) and the Chan connectors (located on the 

diplexer). The Chan connectors are labeled 

CH1

 and 

CH2

 for most TRACER 4205 systems. The 

following table outlines the connections for Plan A and B.

Using the torque wrench, disconnect both cables from the Chan connectors on the diplexer. Do not 
attempt to disconnect the J connectors (located on the board) as this will cause damage. Click

6.

Carefully flex the cables to swap the connections. Be careful with the RF cables, making sure that the 
minimum bend radius of the cable is greater than 0.75"; bends and loops smaller than a quarter will 
cause the RF cable to break. Use the wiring guidelines in Figure 3 for help with wire placement.

Allowing the RF cables to sit on the processor and radio boards (green) could cause 
damage to the boards; keep the RF cables off the boards while re-routing them. Click
