Reinstalling the Magnetron

  1. 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.

  2. Bend a cable tie and carefully insert it into the electronics box slot above the magnetron power cable connector.
  3. 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.
  4. Connect the magnetron ground wire from the electronics box to the magnetron ground screw.
  5. Connect the magnetron power cable to the electronics box.
  6. 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.
