For example, if the calibration is performed at +20° C, the error-corrected temperature range is +19° to +21° C. It is then appropriate to perform measurements and performance verifications even though +19° is outside the operating temperature range of the calibration devices.

— Protrusion is the condition in which the center conductor extends beyond the outer conductor mating plane. — Recession is the condition in which the center conductor is set back from the outer conductor mating plane. Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide...
They are, however, important supplemental characteristics related to electrical performance. Keysight Technologies verifies the mechanical characteristics of the devices in this kit with special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the device connectors do not exhibit any center conductor protrusion and have proper pin depth when the kit leaves the factory.

Clean and inspect the connector again if it shows: — Deep scratches or dents — Particles clinging to the mating plane surfaces — Uneven wear Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide...
Inspection of connectors is particularly important when mating nonprecision to precision devices. Supplies and Equipment Needed The supplies and equipment needed to perform the cleaning procedure, and their Keysight Technologies part numbers are listed in Table 7-1, “ Replaceable Parts”, on page 2 and page 7-3...
Cleaning Connectors Supplies and Equipment Needed The supplies and equipment that are needed to perform the cleaning procedures, and their Keysight Technologies part numbers are listed in Table 7-1 on page 7-2 and page 7-3. Basic Cleaning Procedure 1. Use Compressed Air or Nitrogen Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF and microwave coaxial connections.

Good connections require a skilled operator. Instrument sensitivity and coaxial connector mechanical tolerances are such that slight errors in operator technique can have a significant effect on measurements and measurement uncertainties. The most common cause of measurement error is poor connections. Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide 3-11...
Use very light finger pressure (no more than 2 inch–pounds of torque). 7. Relieve any side pressure on the connection from long or heavy devices, or cables. This assures consistent torque (refer to “Using the Torque Wrench” on page 3-14). 3-12 Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide...
Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted. 1. Use an open-end wrench to prevent the device body from turning. Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide 3-13...
(180 degrees apart) will cause a lifting action (see Figure 3-9 on page 3-15). This lifting action can misalign, and stress the connections of the devices involved. This is especially true when several devices are connected together. 3-14 Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide...

3. Hold the torque wrench lightly, at the end of the handle only (beyond the groove). See Figure 3-10 on page 3-16. Wide separation of the wrenches produces a larger residual lateral force on the structure of connected devices. This can degrade connector repeatability.

Using the Torque Wrench 5. Tighten the connection just to the torque wrench break point. The wrench handle gives way at its internal pivot point. See Figure 3-11. Do not tighten the connection further. 3-16 Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide...

Do not twist the head of the wrench relative to the outer conductor mating plane. If you do, you apply more than the recommended torque. Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide 3-17...
— Do not set connectors contact-end down on a hard surface. The plating and the mating plane surfaces can be damaged if the interface comes in contact with any hard surface. 3-18 Keysight 85059V Operation and Service Guide...
Introduction The performance of your verification kit can only be verified by returning the kit to Keysight Technologies for recertification. The equipment required to verify the specifications of the devices in the kit has been specially manufactured and is not commercially available.
These two steps establish a traceable link to NIST for Keysight to the extent allowed by the institute’s calibration facility. The specifications data provided for the devices in the kit is traceable to NIST through Keysight Technologies. Recertification The following will be provided with a recertified kit: —...
