Replacing Fractured Resistor
Wash all the inside portions of the assembly (load housing sections, resistor cap assembly, flow tube, and water
chamber) thoroughly under clear running water. Rinse all of the components removed from the load. Reassemble
the load with a replacement resistor, see
"Reassembling the Unit" on page 12
.
Reassembling the Unit
Reverse the procedure detailed in
"Replacing a Resistive Element" on page 10
When replacing the resistor [13] in the resistor fitting [22], be sure it is a very snug fit and requires a moderate force
to push the resistor into the fitting. This fit must not be loose and yet not excessively tight.
If the resistor is loose in the fitting [22], performing the following:
1.
Press the slotted finger contacts of the fitting together slightly.
2.
Try the resistor again.
3.
Continue closing the ends of the resistor fitting until a snug even, fit is obtained.
4.
Bottom the resistor in the fitting with the resistor in place in the fitting [22].
5.
Install the assembly upright in the RF outer conductor [28] or [31].
6.
Replace the front housing [19] and continue with reassembly.
