Procedure 2. Al Front Frame/A18 CRT

Removal

Warning The voltage potential at A6AlW3 is +9 kV. Disconnect at the CRT with caution! Failure to properly discharge A6AlW3 may result in severe electrical shoclc to personnel and damage to the instrument.

1.Remove the analyzer’s cover assembly as described in Procedure 1, “Analyzer Cover.”

2.Fold out the A2, A3, A4, and A5 assemblies as described in Procedure 5, “A2, A3, A4, and A5 Assemblies Removal,” steps 2 through 6.

3.Disconnect AlAlWl from A3J602.

4.Place the analyzer top-side-up on the work bench.

5.Connect the analyzer’s line-power cord to provide proper grounding while discharging the A6AlW3 post-accelerator cable. Make sure that the analyzer’s line-power switch is in the off position.

6.Connect a high-voltage probe (lOOO:l), such as the HP 34111A to a voltmeter with a 10 megohm input.

7.Connect the clip lead of the probe (ground) to the chassis of the spectrum analyzer.

8.Slip the tip of the high-voltage probe under the A6AlW3 post-accelarator cable’s rubber shround to obtain a reading on the voltmeter. See Figure 3-2.

9.Keep the high-voltage probe on the post-accelerator connector until the voltage has dropped to a voltmeter reading of less than 5 mV (less than 5 V at the connector). This normally takes about 30 seconds.

10.Disconnect the line-power cord from the spectrum analyzer.

11.Using a small screwdriver with the shank in contact with the CRT shield assembly, slip the tip of the screwdriver under the A6AlW3 post-accelerator cable’s rubber shroud and short the cable to ground on the CRT shield assembly. See Figure 3-2.

12.Pry out the black grommet protecting post-accelerator cable A6AlW3 from the CRT shield assembly.

13.Carefully unsnap the A6AlW3 post-accelerator cable from the CRT and discharge it by shorting the cable to chassis ground on the CRT shield assembly.

14.Place the analyzer on its right side frame with the front-frame assembly hanging over the front edge of the work bench.

15.Fold out the Al4 and Al5 assemblies as described in Procedure 9, “Al4 and Al5 Assemblies Removal,” steps 3 and 4.
