Ribbon Cable Connections
RTV adhesive may be present on some or all ribbon cable connectors in the Model 1140A to
prevent disconnection during shipment. In the repair procedures below, when disconnecting a
ribbon cable note whether this adhesive is present. If necessary, cut it with a small, sharp blade to
free the connector.
When reconnecting any ribbon cable, RTV adhesive may be applied to prevent accidental
loosening of the connection in future handling or shipment.
