85059G 1.0 mm Connector Gage
Operation
Operation
Operating Environment
Device dimensions change with temperature. Therefore, the temperature of the
gages and all connectors must be stable (within ±l °C) before calibration.
The operating environment for the connector gage should be within the
following limits.
Operating Precautions
Connector wear eventually degrades performance. To prolong the life of your
gages:
1.
Clean all surfaces that come in contact during calibration.
2.
Do not measure a damaged connector; doing so could damage the gage.
Replace damaged connectors.
3.
Keep the protector caps on the gages and masters when not in use to
prevent contamination.
4.
Turn only the connector nut, not the gage itself, nor the connected device
(i.e., set master, adapter, or calibration standard) when making
connection to avoid damage to the connector and gage.
Temperature
+
20° to 26 °C (
+
68 to
+
79 °F) ± 1°C
Relative Humidity
less than 80% at 26 °C dry bulb
Altitude
less than 4550 meters (15,000 ft)
Your fingers are a heat source; handle the devices as little as possible
during calibration.
To protect the sensitive microcircuits that may be connected to the
connectors you are gauging, always wear an electrostatic
discharge-grounding strap connected to a conductive bench mat when
working near sensitive equipment.
Do not use hydrocarbons such as acetone, trichlorethylene, carbon
tetrachloride or benzene to clean connector or Gage surfaces. (See
"Inspecting and Cleaning the Gages" on the next page.)
Do not spray any liquid solvent directly onto connector or gage surfaces.
