SIGNAL SOURCE MODULES

REMOVE AND REPLACE

Step 2. Disconnect the semi-rigid coaxial lines from the RF INPUT connector and RF OUTPUT connector of the Down Con- verter assembly.

Step 3. Remove the two screws that fasten the Down Converter as- sembly to the source module chassis and lift the assembly from the Signal Source Module.

To replace the Down Converter assembly, perform the steps above in the reverse order.

YIG Oscillator Use the following procedure to remove/replace the YIG Oscillator as- Assembly sembly.

Procedure:

Step 1. Disconnect the YIG Oscillator assembly power cable from connector J3 of the A21A1 PCB. Pull up on the flexible cir- cuit connector “handle” to disconnect.

Step 2. Disconnect the semi-rigid coaxial line from the connector

J6 (top) of the Switched Filter assembly.

Step 3. Remove the four screws that fasten the YIG Oscillator as- sembly to the source module chassis and lift the assembly from the Signal Source Module.

Step 4. Disconnect the semi-rigid coaxial line from the output con- nector of the YIG Oscillator assembly. Put this coaxial line aside for re-use.

NOTE

When replacing the YIG Oscillator assembly, connect the semi-rigid coaxial line removed in Step 4 to the output connector of the YIG Oscillator before attaching it to the Signal Source Module.

To replace the YIG Oscillator assembly, perform the steps above in the reverse order.
