Maintenance
Introduction
This section provides the user with detailed instructions on the removal and replacement of modules and
assemblies. The transceiver’s front and rear panels are shown in
and the module interconnections
. When removing or refitting modules, observe antistatic handling precautions. Do not
change any potentiometer (or link) settings unless detailed in these instructions. Potentiometers have
been set using specialist equipment.
Molex KK Connectors
The transceiver uses the following Molex KK connectors:
CN2 on the PA Control module
CN7 and CN6 on the PSU Regulator module
CN3 on the Front Panel PCB.
To remove KK type connectors:
Free the locking mechanism on the connector by moving one side of the connector up, then move
the other side up (see the following diagram). The upward motion should only be as far as needed
to free the locking mechanism
DO NOT pull the cable to free the connector
Note that KK type connectors are designed to be removed in this manner to free the locking
mechanism. Do not use this procedure with non-KK type connectors as damage to the connector
may occur.
