12.Remove S2 from MP14 module base by removing the two corner screws.

13.Unsolder the three control wires (1, 2, 5) from S2.

14.Remove the Spira Shield (RF "EMI" gasket situated in the module base lip) only if damaged, or replacement of MP14 module base.

40.RF Module Disassembly Procedure for Option 001, 011, & 021 Instruments

NOTE

When referring to switch ports: port # I is the far left (SMA) connector, port #2 is the second S M A connector, etc., when holding the switch (label u p ) with the SMA connectors facing you.

1.Disconnect W 12 (gray ribbon cable) at A 1J 1.

2.Remove MP16 module cover by removing the 10 cover screws.

3.Disconnect cables W7 and W8 using a 5/16 open-end wrench: W7 from U3 mixer and FL1 Filter, W8 from U2 IF Amp and S2 Switch, port #4.

4.Unsolder the orange and white/orange wires (3, 93) from U2. Unsolder the gray and white/orange wires (8, 93) from U 1.

5.Remove U2 and FL1 from MP16 by removing the two screws securing U2, then loosen the filter clamp screw and slide the assembly out.

6.Disconnect W9 from S1, port #1 and U1.

7.Disconnect the LO input semi-rigid coax cable (W4 in Option 001; W14 in Option 01 1; or W18 in Option 021) from S1, port #2, being careful not to bend, crimp, or kink the cable. The radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding grommet can be removed by slipping the grommet off of the cable via the cable access slit.

8.Disconnect W6 from S1, port #3 and U3.

9.Disconnect W5 from Sl, port #4 and U1 (power terminal side).

10.Unscrew the two Torxhead screws that secure the UlMP17 Amplifier mounting bracket to MP 14 module base. The U 1 amplifier and bracket can then be removed.

11.Unscrew the two Torxhead screws that secure the MP18 mixer mounting bracket to MP14 module base.

NOTE

Remember the order in which the stiffener bar and mixer bracket are assembled. The stiffener bar and mixer bracket assembly order is different between each brand of mixer used.

12.Disconnect U3 from the Attenuator (AT1). U3 Mixer and bracket can then be disassembled.
