Removing a 25 kW Magnetron


Magnetron with callouts

The 25 kW magnetron in the GMR™ 2534/2536 xHD3 open array radar is secured by four screws.

The bottom right screw also secures the magnetron ground wire 1. A metal spacer 2 behind the magnetron acts as a grounding plate by contacting the electronics box housing. The spacer is secured to the waveguide with two screws.

  1. Using a 3 mm hex wrench, remove the four screws that secure the magnetron.
  2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the spacer to the waveguide.
