13.1
Cleaning
The R&S
QAR50 and its accessories are sensitive devices. Clean the R&S
QAR50 in
an appropriate manner to prevent the components from getting damaged.
Cleaning the R&S
QAR50
1. Clean the measurement electronics (cluster and calibration sphere) only if neces-
sary (visible dirt particles). If cleaning these parts becomes necessary, do so care-
fully with a dry, lint-free duster.
Do not use liquids to clean the measurement electronics. Using liquids can lead to
inaccurate measurements.
2. Clean the frame and rear side of the R&S
QAR50 with a lint
‑
free duster. For stub-
born dirt, you can also wipe the frame and rear side with a damp rag.
3. We recommend not to clean the absorbers, because they can break easily. If the
absorbers become too dirty, contact Rohde
&
Schwarz service to replace them with
new ones.
Cleaning the verification kit
► Clean the verification kit with a soft, lint-free dust cloth. If necessary, you can
dampen the cloth.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents or solvents like alcohol or cellulose lacquer
thinners.
