2.3 Exchanging the transmission module
The SuperXpander/Xpander is supplied with either a Triax or a Fiber transmission module,
depending on the base station and camera connector type you are using. You can exchange
the transmission module easily to use the SuperXpander/Xpander with a different transmission
system or connector type. To exchange the transmission module proceed as follows:
Caution
Make sure that power is switched off and both the mains power lead and the Triax or Fiber
cable are disconnected from the SuperXpander/Xpander.
1. At the left side of the SuperXpander/Xpander locate the currently installed transmission
module.
2. Unplug the flying lead from the camera adapter side.
3. Unscrew the four captive screws of the transmission module using a Torx-10 screwdriver.
4. Pull the transmission module out of its bay. Note that the flying lead is attached to the
module. Store the module at a safe place. The module can also be stored in the optional
LDK 6986/01 Transport case.
5. Insert the new transmission module into the empty bay and slide it in until the front of the
module is aligned with the outside of the SuperXpander/Xpander.
6. Secure the transmission module using the four captive screws.
7. Plug the flying lead into the camera adapter.
