Removal Procedure
Refer to Figure 7-19 for this procedure.
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove the outer cover. Refer to “Removing the Covers” on page 7-6 . Position the
analyzer bottom side up as shown. It may be convenient to raise the receiver deck to
provide better access. If necessary, refer to
“Raising and Removing the Receiver Deck”
on page 7-8 .
3. Identify the fixed attenuator to be removed.
4. Disconnect the two semirigid cables (item
①
) from the attenuator:
• Use a 1/4-inch open-end wrench, adjacent to the connector to be removed, to hold the
attenuator in a fixed position.
• Use a 5/16-inch torque wrench to loosen the cable connector.
• Repeat for the cable connector at the other end of the attenuator.
CAUTION Be careful not to damage the center pins of the semirigid cables. Some flexing
of the cables is necessary to remove the attenuator. Do not over-bend the
semirigid cables.
5. Cut the cable tie (item
②
), used to secure the attenuator, and remove the attenuator
from its holder. Observe the
CAUTION
above.
