Removal Procedure
Opening the Case:
1. Open the case as described in Section 6-16 “Opening the Instrument Case” on page 6-24.
Removing Power Monitor PCB, Option 5:
2. If the Power Monitor PCB (Option 5) is NOT installed, then skip ahead to Step 3. If the Power Monitor
PCB is installed, then perform the following sub steps.
a. Refer to Figure 6-13 on page 6-27 for Power Monitor PCB connectors and orientation. Pry out the
flex cable that is attached to the Detector connector from the Power Monitor PCB.
b. Remove the three Phillips-head screws from the Power Monitor PCB.
c. Using the Tool T1451 socket, remove the BNC Connector Dress Nut from the Ext Trig Input
connector. Leave the Ext Trig Input connector and its attached coaxial cable loosely in place in the
top connector panel.
d. Holding the Ext Trig Input connector flex cable away from the Power Monitor PCB, gently lever
up the PCB out of its header socket.
e. If the Header Pins stay on the VNA PCB Assembly, then remove the pins and reinstall them on
the Power Monitor PCB.
f. Set aside the Power Monitor PCB assembly with header pins.
g. Removing the Power Monitor PCB provides access to the Ext Trig Input BNC connector and a
VNA PCB Assembly mounting screw. Refer to Step 5.
