4.0 GTEM! Uncrating Instructions

Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate


to the task you are performing, such as gloves, safety glasses,
and steel-toed boots.

The uncrating process will expose sharp nails and fasteners.


Wear appropriate PPE and use caution when handling these
items.

Some of the components and assemblies are heavy. Obtain


assistance in handling heavy items, and always handle all
components and assemblies with care.

Inventory Uncrated Components

You must inventory each component when unpacking it from the crate. Follow
these guidelines to properly unpack and inventory components:

1. Unpack each crate as indicated in the next section,


Uncrate Components.

2. Carefully place each component in a safe and protected location. Keep


items together so that an accurate inventory can be performed, and so
each component can be located when assembling the Model 5407
Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM!) Cell.

3. Use the Audit Checklist on page 19 to inventory each component


received and unpacked.

The Audit Checklist of items and quantities shipped is organized by

PCB Installation

REFERENCE

Figure 7 on page 51

Figure 8 on page 52

41. Remove access panel (part # 106263) located on the rear wall of the Model 5407 to
access the PCB card assembly area. Discard the screws.

The rear access panel has the minimal amount of temporary screws to fasten it
to the wall of the Model 5407 and to provide easy access. A complete set of
replacement screws are included in the hardware kit.

42. Check the shielding strip located between the upper and lower transitions
(part # 106254, 106255) at the rear of the septum to make sure the shielding strips
are not damaged or obstructed.

43. Behind the panel are four aluminum adjustment brackets, consisting of
contact angles (part # 106256), PCB clamps (part # 106253), and thumbscrews
(part # 106364). You can raise or lower these brackets by loosening the 16 screws
directly below the access panel opening.

Using a screwdriver, loosen the four contact angle bracket screws and lower them.

Do not completely remove the screws. Complete removal of the screws may
cause the PCB card to fall, and may only be retrieved by removing and
replacing the entire rear wall.

44. The PCB clamps are mounted to the contact angles with four thumbscrews each.
Remove all 16 thumbscrews, plus the four PCB clamps from the four contact angles.

45. Insert one PCB card assembly (part # 106153), component side up, with either end
through the rear opening. Placement order is not critical. Position the PCB card
assembly parallel to the top of the contact angle.

38 | GTEM! Assembly Instructions


46. This step requires one person inside the Model 5407 to align the PCB card assembly
between the upper and lower transitions at the rear of the septum, and one person
outside to keep the PCB card assembly and the contact angle aligned.

With the PCB card assembly aligned with the septum and the contact angle, the
person on the outside must slowly insert the end of the PCB card assembly into the
end of the septum between the upper and lower transitions.

Insert the PCB assembly firmly into the septum transition channel all the way
(approximately 0.6 in).

47. Repeat the two-person process in step 46 for all four PCB card assemblies.

48. Replace the PCB clamps onto the contact angle and card assemblies. Fasten with
the 16 thumbscrews removed in step 44.

49. Adjust the height of the PCB card assemblies using the adjustment brackets as
described in step 43.

50. Re-secure the contact angles by tightening the 16 screws directly below the opening.

51. Inspect inside surface of the rear access panel to make sure shielding strip
(part # 890259) fingers face inward. See Figure 12 on page 56.

52. Firmly secure the rear access panel to the rear wall using M4 x 8 Phillips pan-head
screws (part # 930414).

53. Have the crewmember inside the Model 5407 move to the rear wall and push the
stuffer absorbers (part # 106397) into the vacant openings along the outside of the
outer two PCB assemblies, and along the outer right and left edges of the rear wall
absorbers.

You may need to cut the stuffers. Make sure that neither the absorbers nor stuffers
make contact with the PCB assemblies.

54. Remove one of the two nuts from the fiber optic wavelength feedthrough assembly
(part # 102049).

55. Fit the threaded body into the wall of the Model 5407, making sure approximately
1/8 in of the body is inside the Model 5407, and the remainder of the body is outside.

56. Screw the brass nut on from inside the Model 5407. Fasten securely using channel
lock pliers or a crescent wrench.

57. For the Type N feedthrough (part # 514016), place the rubber grommet supplied with
the packaging over the threaded end, and then fit into the recessed lip.

58. Fit the threaded body into the wall of the Model 5407, and then screw the nut on from
the outside. Fasten securely using the appropriate 5/8-in wrench or socket. Do not
over torque, or you may damage the rubber grommet.

Verify Performance

62. Completely wipe the Model 5407 with clean, dry towels. Use isopropyl alcohol on all
bare metal surfaces.

Use only a clean and dry or damp cloth to remove dust, dirt,
and other debris from any painted surface of the Model 5407.

63. See the Model 5400 Series Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM!) Cell
Operation Manual for VSWR testing specifications.

Raising the septum will lower the TDR value of the Model 5407, and lowering the
septum will increase the TDR.
