EX72SF

The EX7SF enclosure , shown in Figure 1-2,can accommodate a large number and various types of Agilent latching switch modules. The upper six switch mounting locations, designated SW1 to SW6, are designed for SPDT switches. The lower six switch mounting locations, designated SW7 to SW12, are designed for SP4T, SP6T, and transfer switches.

The following table provides the switch model choices for these sections:

	TABLE 3-2: EX72SF SWITCH MODULES
	The SPDT switches are mounted on special carriers for installation into the EX72SF and are
	delivered this way if ordered separately from the factory. The SP4T and SP6T switches mount
	directly in the lower openings and do not require any special carriers. The transfer switches do not
	have the same square mounting plate as the multi-throw switches so they require a special carrier
	for mounting in the lower round openings.
NOTE	Before proceeding with the removal and/or installation of any microwave switch modules in an
	EX7000, turn the ac power switch to the OFF position and remove the ac power cord.
	To remove a SPDT switch from the enclosure, simply remove the two pan head Philips screws
	from each side of the individual switch faceplate. Remove the faceplate and slide the switch
	forward until it is away from the enclosure and far enough out to expose the white plastic 8-pin in-
	line connector. Firmly grasp each end of the white plastic body, squeezing the release tab on the
	enclosure side and pull until the two parts separate.
NOTE	The new switch modules must have the cable assembly with the white plastic multi-pin connector
	installed in order for it to interface with the internal control circuitry. All replacement or add-on
	relays supplied by VTI Microwave will have this cable in place. Contact VTI Microwave
	immediately if your switch module arrives without this cable assembly as well as the universal
	mounting carrier installed.
