3.1 Introduction
You must make a number of modifications to enable a T830 Series II PA to operate in aSeries I rack frame. These changes can be split into two groups, mechanical and electri-cal, as described below.
This procedure assumes you have already purchased the appropriate Series I conver-sion kit:
• T838 - T800-70-0038
• T839 - T800-70-0039.
If not, you should purchase one from your nearest Tait Dealer or Customer ServiceOrganisation before beginning the procedure.
Note: This procedure applies to the latest design T838/839 PAs which use RFpower modules and are identified by the Series II style product codeT83X-X0-0000.
It should take approximately 15-20 minutes per module to perform these steps.
Mechanical These changes involve putting on a new front panel because of thedifferences in height and width between a Series II and Series Ipanel.
Electrical These changes involve:
• inserting and removing components inside the module todisable cyclic keying;
• converting from rear RF input to front RF input.

3.2 Method
Step Action
1 Remove the Series II front panel from the PA as follows:
• remove the four screws using a Torx screwdriver;
• push the LEDs from the front of the panel to remove them fromtheir grommets.
2 Remove the side cover.
3 Follow the step for whichever module you are going to modify:
• T838 - go to Step 4;
• T839 - go to Step 5.
These modifications will disable the cyclic keying.
4 T838
Remove *L201 (330nH SMD inductor), as shown in Figure 3.1.
Caution: Do not use excessive heat to remove the inductor or itwill melt.
5 T839
Remove *L211 (330nH SMD inductor), as shown in Figure 3.1.
Caution: Do not use excessive heat to remove the inductor or itwill melt.

Step Action
6 Converting from rear panel RF input to front panel RF input.
Remove the rear panel BNC connector:
• unplug the RF input coax from the socket on the PCB;
• unscrew the BNC connector from the chassis;
• carefully withdraw the coax from the module through the holein the rear of the chassis;
• fit the blanking plate over the hole in the chassis from whichthe BNC connector has been removed.
Fit the front panel SMC connector:
• insert the coax fitted with the brass SMC connector through thehole in the front of the chassis and secure with the brass nutand washer;
• connect the coax from the SMC connector into *SK203 (T838) or*SK201 (T839) as shown in Figure 3.2.
7 Refit the side cover.
8 Fit all parts of the Series I front panel, following Step 1 in reverse order.
Note: If you have difficulty refitting the LEDs, try pushing thebody of the LED back into the grommet with a thin screw-driver or spike. Be very careful while doing this as the legsof the LED are very easy to break.
