Reinstalling the Magnetron
-
Follow the steps for removing a
magnetron in reverse order (Removing the Magnetron).
NOTICE
You must make sure the grounding bracket (models GMR™ 434/436 xHD3 and GMR 1234/1236 xHD3 radars) or the conductive mesh and foam on the bottom of the magnetron spacer (GMR 2534/2536 xHD3 radars) make direct contact with the electronics box housing. Installing the magnetron without ensuring proper grounding may lead to product damage.
- Bend a cable tie and carefully insert it into the electronics box slot above the magnetron power cable connector.
- Feed the end of the cable tie out of the electronics box through the other slot, using a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it out of the electronics box, if necessary.
- Connect the magnetron ground wire from the electronics box to the magnetron ground screw.
- Connect the magnetron power cable to the electronics box.
-
Secure the magnetron cable ferrite bead to the electronics box, using the cable tie you inserted into the electronics box.
NOTICE
You must secure the ferrite bead tightly with a cable tie to prevent the magnetron power cable working itself loose over time.
