- Page 7 Mounting the FFE* CAUTION ARRIS equalizers are designed for an operating environment of -40°C to +60°C. The Mil Spec Hdbk 217 states that a 9°C increase in device operating environments will reduce the product’s reliability (and projected lifetime) by 50%.
- Page 8 Changing the Plug-in Equalizer Refer to Table 1 for the correct match of FFE* and plug in equalizer board, model SFE*. If you need to adjust tilt, change the SFE* value. For optimum performance, use the equalizers that match the system frequency. To replace the existing equalizer: Remove the bottom plate assembly by loosening the four captive bolts and separating it from the housing.
