Replacement

Removing and Replacing Battery
Remove OneExpert CATV cloth case and locate the 6 flat-head screws marked with
the battery icon
Loosen each screw with a standard slotted screwdriver until they disengage from the
MAINFRAME portion of the unit
Note that these 6 screws are designed to remain captive with the MODULE.
Removing the Module will expose a backplane connector that extends from the
Mainframe. There is risk of damaging this backplane connector if the unit is pulled
apart without exercising the proper caution.
A single screw hold the battery compartment lid in place

OneExpert CATV RF Ports F-81 Adapter Barrel Style
Connector The ONX-CATV has two RF ports with field
replaceable barrel style connectors. The ONX ships
with two F- 81 splice style adapters rated to 3 GHz.
These F-81 adapters are 1.2 in (307mm) long with
a 0.5 in (132mm) distance between either end and
the tightening nut. They are shipped installed into
the RF ports to the recommended torque
specification of 20 in-lbs. (1.6 ft-lbs.).
After some use these F-81 adapters may need to
be replaced. When replacing these adapters, an F-
81 adapter with similar dimensions and
specifications is recommended.

Reason for RF Port Aluminum Collars and F-81
Considerations
Since early 2017 all ONX models are built with aluminum collars around the RF port F-81 barrel-connectors. These collars
were added to provide additional mechanical protection from lateral forces which could break the F connector and/or the RF
port on the ONX. These collars work by reinforcing the base of the connector and help distribute forces over a bigger area.
The height of the collar accommodates the F-81 barrel-connector that was originally shipped with the ONX, but has some
margin to accommodate other, similarly sized and rated, F-81 barrel-connectors.
It is important to ensure that ONX RF port F-81 barrel-connector replacements have enough length to pass through the
aluminum collar and screw in far enough to close any gaps. Seating the connector properly into the ONX RF port prevents off-
air signals from leaking around the F-81 barrel-connector.Also, the F-81 barrel-connector used should not be so long that
when tightened it leaves a loose collar. The reinforcing strength provided by the collar requires the collar to be firmly held in
place by the F-81 barrel-connector inserted into the ONX’s RF ports. A loose collar will not properly strengthen the F-81
barrel-connector, making it more susceptible to breaking when stressed.

17© 2020 VIAVI Solutions Inc.viavisolutions.com
Replacing the F Connector
Start by removing the current F-81 adapter and
collar (if present). If needed use a 7/16 wrench, turn
the F connector counterclockwise until the adapter
is completely out of the ONX RF port. Retain the
collars if not replacing them with new ones.
Place the new F-81 adapter through the collar and
screw the adapter into the ONX RF Port by turning
clockwise. Make sure the collar is between the
ONX and the F connector nut, as shown in the
picture below. Tightening the F-81 adapter into the
RF port to the torque specification of 20 in-lbs. (1.6
ft-lbs.) is recommended, which is about hand tight
plus another quarter turn.
WARNING: Do NOT overtighten the F-81 adapter into the ONX’s RF port, this
can lead to permanently broken RF ports. Also, it is not recommended to use
power tools when removing or replacing the F-81 adapters.
