RF Load Resistor Assembly
To replace the load resistor assembly, proceed as follows:
1.
Stand load vertically, connector end up.
2.
Loosen clamp screw until clamping band is released.
3.
Lift load resistor assembly straight up out of the cylinder, allowing the
coolant to drip back into cylinder.
4.
Inspect the O-Ring seal which is located just inside
the mounting flange of the
resistor assembly.
Note:
DO NOT reuse the O-Ring if it is no longer pliable
or shows signs
of surface cracks.
Assembly
RF Input Connector
Reverse the procedure in the RF Input Connector Replacement paragraph to
install a new connector. Be sure that the projecting center contact pin on the
connector is carefully engaged and properly seated with the mating socket of
the load resistor input.
Diaphragm and Coolant Oil
To reassemble, reverse the procedure in the Diaphragm and Coolant oil
paragraph.

To replace the load assembly, reverse the procedure in the RF Load Resistor
Assembly paragraph.
Storage
No special preparations for storage are necessary other than
covering the load to keep
it dust free. Store in a dry and dust-free environment. Keeping the ambient
temperature within the -40C to +45C (-40F to +113F) working range is
preferable.
