FFE Feederline Equalizers

539924-001 Rev B

Changing the Plug-in Equalizer

Refer to Table 1 for the correct match of FFE* and plug in equalizer board, model SFE*. If you

need to adjust tilt, change the SFE* value. For optimum performance, use the equalizers that

match the system frequency.

To replace the existing equalizer:

1. Remove the bottom plate assembly by loosening the four captive bolts and

separating it from the housing.

2. Carefully push the SFE* retaining clips aside and remove the existing SFE*.

4. Snap the retaining clips in place

5. Replace the bottom plate on the housing and tighten the captive bolts to a maximum

torque of 30 to 35 in/lbs.
