3-3 Opening the MS272xB Spectrum Master Case Removal and Replacement 3. If the instrument has Option 31 (GPS), then use a T1451 socket to remove the special decorative nut on the RF panel. 4. Separate the two halves by about two inches. Several cables must be disconnected before the two halves can be fully separated.
Removal and Replacement 3-4 Removal of the Spectrum Analyzer PCB Removal of the Spectrum Analyzer PCB The Main PCB assembly and the Spectrum Analyzer module are always replaced as a set. Refer to Note Table 1-3, “List of Replaceable Parts” on page 1-5 for the correct part number for the set.
Replaceable Parts” on page 1-5 for the replacement part number. Note that on newer model instruments, the RTC battery is soldered onto the mother board, and in this case, Anritsu Company recommends that the RTC battery NOT be replaced in the field.
