MiMOMax Tornado Duplexers in Chassis
There are 3 sub-bands of duplexer to cover the entire 400-470MHz switching range. The sub-bands are 400 - 430MHz, 420
- 450MHz and 440 - 470MHz.
The chassis will need to be opened to gain access to the duplexer. The front panel will need to be removed first. The front
panel is fixed to the chassis with two screws. A T8 Torx driver will be required to remove the screws. The eight screws in the
chassis can then be removed using a T20 Torx driver. Water sealing within the chassis will need to be preserved. There is a
main seal (not shown) that fits within the two halves of the chassis and two rubber O-rings that sit on pillars within the unit as
shown above.
