SMA-BNC adapter (furnished with the 16452A) • Measurement cable (16048A or 16048G/H + 1250-2375) • 1.3 mm spacer for the SHORT compensation (furnished with the 16452A) • Shorting plate for the SHORT compensation (furnished with the 16452A) • A spacer (choose one of the furnished four spacers) •...
Preparation of Test Fixture for Use Before connecting the test fixture, you must connect the SMA-BNC adapters to the 16452A terminals. Also, the spacer and shorting plate must be set between the electrodes for the SHORT compensation. The 16452A can be separated into High and Low electrodes to make it possible to set the spacer and the shorting plate.
Separating the Test Fixture into High and Low Electrodes Cleaning and Drying the Electrodes To get a better measurement, the 16452A electrodes must be cleaned after using. If the 16452A’s electrodes are smeared, wash and dry them thoroughly before assembling. Any impurities deposited on the electrode will affect the measurement.
Operation Preparation of Test Fixture for Use Assembling the Test Fixture Set the 1.3 mm spacer (electrode distance is 0.3mm) and the shorting plate as required. Then assemble the 16452A as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 Assembling the Test Fixture for a SHORT compensation...
Operation Connecting the Test Fixture Connecting the Test Fixture Use a 4-terminal-pair BNC cable to connect the 16452A and your measurement instrument. Keysight Technologies recommends using the following cables: For the temperature range of 0 to +55ºC 16048A Test leads For the temperature range of -20 to +125ºC...
Operation Connecting the Test Fixture Fixture Stand Usage The fixture stand sets the test fixture stable and upright as required during the measurement. Figure 3-6 Fixture Stand Usage Keysight 16452A Liquid Test Fixture...
1. Check the connection of the test fixture and the measurement cable. Also, check the shorting plate connection. • Is the spacer width in the 16452A 1.3mm? • Does the shorting plate contact to both high and low electrodes? •...
Confirm that the 1.3 mm spacer and the shorting plate are set as specified in “Preparation of Test Fixture for Use” on page For the measurement setting, please refer to your measurement instrument. The OPEN and LOAD compensations are not required for the 16452A. Keysight 16452A Liquid Test Fixture...
Separating the Test Fixture into High and Low Electrodes 2. Remove the shorting plate and select the spacer that is to be used to measure the liquid. Then assemble the test fixture. Figure 3-8 Test Fixture Assemble for Measurement Keysight 16452A Liquid Test Fixture...

If the value is not correct, check the following: • Was the spacer correctly chosen and set? • Are the O-rings set correctly? Are the high and low electrodes put tightly together? • Then perform the measurement procedure again. Keysight 16452A Liquid Test Fixture...
To prevent any accidents, establish a strict process for the measurements. (For example, using appropriate ventilation, a gas mask, and gloves.) 1. Pour the liquid under test into the 16452A until the liquid fills tube Pour the liquid gently so that air does not get mixed in with the liquid.
