Maintenance
Do not make repairs to the probe assembly. If the sampler malfunc-
tions, we recommend returning the unit to the Bird Service Center for
repair. To replace the probe assembly, follow these instructions:
1. Access the probe by unscrewing the four 8-32 flat head screws that
secure the back cover.
2. Grasp the back cover by the side tabs behind the line connectors
and pull straight backward to remove it.
3. Remove the small coupling control knob on the front of the
wattmeter with a 1/16 hex socket wrench.
4. Remove the two 8-32 x 1/4” screws fastening the guide and plate
assembly to the back of the line section.
5. Put the control knob back on the shaft, then turn it counterclock-
wise until the collar is free of the shaft.
6. Remove the control knob.
7. Pull the probe plate straight out of the pin and guide bushing.
8. Unscrew the 5/8 hex nut on the BNC connector and pull the
sampler connector into the case. The probe plate assembly, P/N
4431-003, is now released and may be replaced.
Note:
The sampler cable (RG-58/U) center conductor is sol-
dered to the probe’s rear stub. The cable is secured to the side
sleeve of the probe with the same screw used in the dc connector
plug assembly, P/N 7500-076. It may be removed by unscrewing
the 3/8 hex screw, unsoldering the lead tip and pulling out the
cable. The probe assembly is formed into the socket and is not
replaceable.
9. Replace by carefully reversing the above procedure.
Note:
When inserting the control bushing, be sure the
alignment pin is properly positioned.
