Maintenance—Type P6042
Probe Cable Replacement
If the probe cable becomes defective, it may be replaced
as follows:
1. Remove the probe from the cable as described pre­
viously under “Probe Disassembly”. (Unsolder the two con­
nections to the bottom half of the probe assembly.)
2. Remove the amplifier cabinet and unsolder the cable
connections to the DEGAUSS switch and the decoupling
board.
3. Loosen the cable clamp on the back of the front sub­
panel and straighten the cable.
4. Pull the cable through the front-panel grommet and
remove the probe strain relief boot from the cable.
To replace the cable, reverse the above procedure. The
probe strain relief boot must be placed on the new cable
before the cable is reconnected to the amplifier, due to the
size of the transformer receptacle on the probe end of the
cable. Refer to Fig. 4-3 for color code of decoupling board
connections.
