Replacing Modules

TB9100 Installation and Operation Manual

© Tait Electronics Limited May 2006

If you want to disconnect the power before working on the TB9100, carry 
out the instructions in 

“Disconnect the Power” on page 76

.

Important

Before removing a PA, disconnect the DC input and RF 
input first, followed by the RF output (and DC output on 
the 12V PA). After refitting the PA, reconnect the RF out-
put (and DC output on the 12 V PA) first, followed by the 
RF input, and then the DC input.
