General Information
Specifications
Specifications for the 11970 Series Mixers are listed in Table 1-1. These are the performance
standards against which the mixers are tested (performance tests are provided in
Chapter
3 ,“Performance Tests,”
). Typical or nominal operating values are listed in Table 1-2.
NOTE Supplemental characteristics are included only as additional information;
they are not specifications.
Equipment Supplied
Waveguide Connector Screws
Five hex-head screws are supplied with each mixer. Four are required to make the mixer-to-waveguide
connection, one is a spare. Use ONLY the screws supplied to attach the mixer to the waveguide. Because
of slight differences in the way the mixers couple with the waveguide, the square-flange mixers (11970K
and 11970A) and the round-flange mixer (1970Q, 11970U, 11970V and 11970W) require different
screws.
If your mixer has a square waveguide flange, use four hex-head screws with Part Number
3030-0221. If it has a round waveguide flange, use four hex-head captive screws with Part
Number 1390-0671. The special balldriver hex screwdriver available in the Option 009
Mixer Connector Kit simplifies installation of the waveguide connector screws.
NOTE See Chapter 4 ,“Service,” for a list of replacement parts.
