Maintenance
This chapter covers routine tasks that a Service Technician can perform on
the SDA instruments.
Visual, Physical, and Mechanical Inspection
Make sure all hardware is properly installed and tightened.
RF Connector Replacement
The RF connector attaches the unit to the cable system, and over time this
frequent usage causes wear on the connectors and they should be replaced.
To replace the connector:
1. Carefully unscrew the connector from the unit using a 7/16-inch
wrench.
2. Screw the short end of the new connector into the unit. A longer
connector could cause internal damage to the unit. Remember to
use a lockwasher.
3. Torque the connector to not more than 5.0 - 6.0 IN.-LBS.
