5.6.1.1
Isolation Board Removal
a.
There are 2 ribbon cables connecting to each Isolation assembly. The cables
should be disconnected from the RFI filter boards. They can be removed from the
Isolation Board once it is removed from the transmitter. It does make a difference
where these re-connect. The cables and connectors are labeled so proper connec-
tion can be verified on the Overall System Block Diagram.
b.
Remove the 4 hex standoffs near the corners of the assembly. There are 4 round
standoffs very close to the corners of the assembly which are merely guide pins
and do not need to be removed.
c.
Once the hex standoffs are removed, the Isolation board can be pulled straight out
from the Z-Plane until the connection pins are disengaged.
!
CAUTION:
THERE ARE 10 SMALL PINS WHICH CONNECT THE ISOLATION RESISTORS
TO THE Z-PLANE. THESE ARE EASILY BENT IF THE ASSEMBLY IS NOT
PULLED STRAIGHT OUT. IF BENT, THEY WILL HAVE TO BE STRAIGHTENED
BEFORE IT WILL BE ABLE TO BE RE-INSTALLED. IF BENT TOO FAR, THE
PINS MAY BREAK OFF WHEN STRAIGHTENED.
d.
The Isolation assemblies for Z-Planes A and D (the 2 nearest the sides of the
transmitter) can be taken out the front of the transmitter. The 2 in the middle,
from Z-Planes B and C, must be taken out the rear of the transmitter. The 2 Isola-
tion Boards in the Middle of the transmitter will also require the harmonic filter
to be raised up to get it out of the way, see "5.7 Removing the Harmonic Filter"
on page 5-11.
NOTE:
Each Isolation Board is jumper programmed for a specific Z-Plane. Therefore, if
more than one Isolation assembly is removed at one time, mark each one as to its
proper location. The programming is a simple jumper selection on the PC board.
The jumper chart is printed on the PC Board next to the jumpers and can also be
found on the Isolation Board schematic if verification is required.
5.6.1.2
Inspection
All of the isolation resistors have a thermistor attached to them with a special epoxy.
Verify that all of the thermistors are firmly attached and that the epoxy has not cracked
as this will give incorrect temperature readings.
