Install the New A27, A28, A29, and A30 First Converters (Mixers)

1. Remove all four mixers from the previously removed mixer bracket by removing three 

screws (item 

①

) from each mixer. Retain the screws.

2. Remove the mixer bias board by removing the four attachment screws (item 

②

). Retain the 

screws.

3. Install the new mixer bias board onto the bracket by 

loosely

 installing the attachment 

screws (item 

②

) from the old mixer bias board. Do not tighten the screws at this time.

4. Using a T-10 TORX driver, install the four new mixers onto the bracket using the screws 

(item 

①

) from the previously removed mixers. Be sure to orient the mixers as shown, and 

be sure that the DC feed-through pins align properly with the mixer bias board. 

5. Using a T-10 TORX driver, tighten the mixer bias board attachment screws (item 

②

).

6. The mixer bracket with new mixers attached is now ready to be installed in the analyzer.
