Connecting RF Power
After installing the load, the RF transmission line can be attached
using standard coaxial line coupling kits.
Connect the coaxial RF transmission line to the unit. For the
respective 8630 and 8630B Series models the connections are as
follows:
Model 8631 and
8631B
Model 8631 and 8631B - 3-1/8" EIA, 50 ohm, swivel flanged. Refer to
Figure 4 while following the instructions below.
1. Use 3-1/8" EIA Coupling Kit, Bird P/N 4600-020, which includes
six 3/8-16 x 1-1/2" bolt and nut sets, O-Ring, and insulated center
bullet.
2. Insert the center bullet, push into seat insulator in facing, and
install the O-Ring in the groove if required.
3. Connect the coaxial input in a straight line, push in carefully to
close. The swivel flange on the load makes connection independent
of a fixed flange on the coaxial input line.
4. Insert bolt sets around the flange connection, and tighten evenly.
Model 8635 and
8635B
Model 8635 and 8635B - 1-5/8" EIA Coupling Kit, Bird P/N 4712-020,
