IS07012 Issue 1.0
(a) Locate the transmitter configuration
sheets that were included with the
Proof of Performance documents
shipped with the transmitter. Page # 1
of the configuration sheets includes
the location and values of the
capacitors that were installed at the
factory. The capacitance value of
each capacitor is stamped on the
capacitor.
(b) Using the Microsoft
®
Excel
®
spreadsheet, on the CD that was
included with this document, enter the
new carrier frequency and the site
altitude in the appropriate fields. The
spreadsheet will calculate the proper
capacitor values, inductor tap settings,
and spark gap setting for the new
frequency. Refer to Appendix A at the
end of this document for instructions
on using the spreadsheet.
(c) Carefully remove the capacitors from
the three capacitor banks and check
their stamped capacitance values (see
Figures 2 and 3 for capacitor
locations). Retain all hardware.
NOTE
When installing different sized capacitors
in one capacitor bank, you may need to
use spacer shims (Nautel Part # 202-6070
and/or 202-6070-01). Also note that M4
(4 mm), M6 (6 mm), and M8 (8 mm)
hardware is used to secure the different
size capacitors.
When using a spacer with a Nautel Part #
CS74 capacitor (200 pF), use the Nautel
Part # HMSH15 bolt.
(d) Using the spreadsheet’s calculated
results, arrange the capacitors
required for each of the three
capacitor banks using the capacitors
that were supplied with the frequency
change kit and the capacitors that
were removed from the transmitter.

CAUTION
When installing capacitors, do not
over-tighten securing hardware or
allow hardware to bottom out on the
capacitor body. Failure to observe this
caution can cause a mechanical failure
of the capacitor.
