Hardware Lock-link Installation (U3021-60004)

Hard ware Lock-link Installation (U3021-60004)

If your system is to be rack mounted, this installation procedure does not have to be performed.

The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose the user to

dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources before

being opened.

Locking the Test Set to the PNA-L

1. The lock-link kit (U3021-60004) includes:

• 0515-1619 - Screw T20 M4x0.7 25 mm

(x2)

, Analyzer

• 0515-2317 - Screw T15 M3.5x0.6 12 mm

(x2)

, Test Set

• N5242-20208 - Right Lock-link, Test Set
• N5242-20209 - Left Lock-link, Test Set
• N5242-20210 - Right Lock-link, Analyzer
• N5242-20211 - Left Lock-link, Analyzer

2. Remove the feet from the bottom of the analyzer.
3. Remove the 2 lower standoffs from the rear panel on the analyzer using a T20 torx driver.
