Procedure

Disassembly/Assembly of Coil

Unless otherwise noted, the steps for reassembly are the reverse order of the steps described for disassembly.

  1. For disassembly, refer to the illustration below.

    Figure 1. Coil Disassembly

  2. To reassemble:

    1. Replace the cover on the posts and press on it till it snaps into place.

    2. Push the foam flap under the jacket.

    3. Carefully replace the fabric flap making sure that the Velcro® on the edges lines up with the Velcro on the jacket.

    4. Tuck the end of the flap under the jacket, and press over the Velcro while making sure that no edges are left open.

External Cable Replacement

  1. Disassemble the coil by referring to Figure 1. Unscrew the two nylon screws and remove the strain relief upper cover.

    • Avoid twisting the female SMA connector from the circuit board.

  2. Using two 8 mm wrenches (one on the circuit board female connector and one on the male cable connector), unscrew and remove the male SMA cable connector from the circuit board.

  3. Remove the external cable from the coil as shown below.

  4. Install the new cable.

    1. Stabilize the circuit board and the connector on the circuit board.

    2. Tighten until snug, but do not overtighten; too much torque (>2 kgf-cm) can result in damage.

  5. Replace the strain relief, and reassemble the coil per 2

  1. Refer to Replacement Parts for the FRU list.

  2. To replace the cover assembly, refer to Disassembly/Assembly of Coil.

  3. To replace the upper strain relief block and the two screws, refer to External Cable Replacement.

  4. If a plastic standoff breaks, it can be removed using needle-nose pliers. Insert a new standoff in its place while making sure that the flat end goes in first as shown below.
