7.6 Reassembling the Transmitter Module
The circled numbers in this section refer to the items in Figure 7.5 on
page 104.
1. If the power connector has been replaced:
■ With the 25W board, use a Torx T10 torque-driver to tighten the
two screws
1! to 3lb·in (0.34N·m).
■ With the 50W/40W board, use a Torx T6 torque-driver to
tighten the two screws
1! to 1lb·in (0.11N·m).
2. The L-shaped gap pad
i and (with the 50W/40W board) the
rectangular gap pad
j must be replaced each time the board is
separated from the heatsink
1):
■ Remove any residue of the gap pad(s) from the underside of the
board and the heatsink.
■ Make sure that the heatsink and the heat plates are free of any dust.
■ Peel off the transparent film on one side of the L-shaped gap pad
i and evenly press the gap pad on the contact surfaces of the
heatsink.
Important With the 50W/40W board, the rectangular gap pad
j
must not overlap the edge of the tin-plated copper plate
(refer to Figure 7.6).
■ Peel off the transparent film on one side of the rectangular gap pad
and evenly press the gap pad on the contact surfaces of the board.
■ Peel off the transparent film on other of the gap pad(s).
