Keysight 16190B Performance Test Kit
Operation and Service Manual
2 Operation
This chapter provides operating information for theKeysight 16190B
Performance Test Kit.
Operating Precautions
There are several precautions that must be observed to protect the devices in
this kit and the instruments being tested.
Handling and Storage
Handle and store the devices in this kit with great care. Their continued
performance and accuracy depend on maintaining very precise mechanical
tolerances.
When not in use, place the airline center conductor in its tube, replace the
airline outer conductor and the termination’s protection caps, and store the
devices in the carrying case.
Connection Techniques
Extreme care should be taken when making connections or disconnections
with the performance test kit devices, because the mechanical tolerances and
electrical performance of their connectors are better than those of most other
7 mm connectors.
Checking Before Connection
Visual Inspection
Visually inspect and, if necessary, clean all connectors each time a connection
is made. Metal particles from the connector threads may find their way onto
the mating plane surfaces when a connection is disconnected. If the inspection
shows that the center collet needs to be replaced, use only precision 6-slot
