Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Instrument care and preventive maintenance consist of cleaning the unit and inspecting and
cleaning the RF connectors and all accessories. Clean the instrument with a soft, lint-free
cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.
Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Connector Care

Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured
alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the
N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether
the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are
correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in
appearance, and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.
To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the
Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf·in to 15 lbf·in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N·m).
Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can
damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.
Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or
connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can
limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument.
Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can
damage the connector, the instrument, or both.
