8 8495D/K Attenuators Operating And Service Manual
Installation
Installation
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or
cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the
shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been
checked mechanically and electrically. A procedure for checking electrical
performance is given under
“Performance Tests” on page 11
). If the contents of the shipment are
incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the instrument
does not pass the electrical performance test, notify the nearest Agilent
Technologies office. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning
material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as the Agilent
Technologies office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
The Agilent office will arrange for repair or replacement without waiting for
claim settlement.
Mating Connectors
The APC 3.5 connector is a 3.5-mm air line connector that will mate with
the SMA type connectors. The SWR performance of this hybrid connection
is similar to a mated pair of SMA connectors when used within the
frequency range of the SMA connector.
Option
The attenuators are configured with the APC 3.5 female connectors and are
designated as Option 004.
CAUTION
When installing the instrument, make sure that the connectors do not support
weight or bear torque. The preferred procedure is to set up all equipment in
position before connecting the instrument. Either connector may be used as
the input or output connector.
Installation
Instructions
The 8495K solenoid drive cable connector plug is connected by aligning the
plug (P1) with the jack (J1) on the attenuator, and then pushing the plug over
the jack. The plug is removed by grasping the ribbed sides of the plug and
squeezing them together while pulling back until the plug clears the jack.
