1
Disconnect the instrument from the Power Line before
commencing this cleaning procedure.
2
Apply some isopropyl alcohol to a piece of the clean lint-free
cloth and clean the outer threads of SMA bulkhead
connectors taking care not to introduce cleaning fluid into
center connection.
3
Where a unit has SMA semi-rigid links carefully remove ONE
of these using an appropriate spanner, taking note of
position and orientation. Clean the bulkhead connectors as
in step 2 and clean the inside threads of the SMA link taking
care not to bend/damage the center connector pin.
4
Carefully refit the link taking care not to mis-thread or
overtighten, as damage could result in an expensive repair.
Always use a torque spanner to refit and set to 0.9 Nm.
5
Repeat for other SMA links and also any SMA cables used in
the test configuration to avoid subsequent contamination of
instrument connectors.
C A U T I O N
Do not insert any tool or object into the SMA connector ports to avoid
damage.
