Service and Calibration
None of the programmable attenuator models require any periodic service or calibration. The
only user service possible for the models is external cleaning of the case and connectors as
needed. Do not use any detergents or spray cleaning solutions to clean the attenuators. To
clean the connectors use an alcohol solution, and to clean the case a soft, damp cloth.
