Hint
Check for wear and tear:
All metal to metal surface subjected to movement will eventually show the
effects of wear and tear. In the case of PIM measurements the results appear as
an increase in PIM level. Check your accessories frequently to ensure that they
are working properly. Once you have determined that an accessory is no longer
performing as it should, replace it with a new device. When you received the
replacement, dispose of the old one to prevent accidental reuse. Check chapter
on Accessories for ordering information of spare and replacement accessories.
Accessories are key to accurate PIM measurements. Although properly
functioning, they are also wear and tear items and will need to be replaced.
