Keysight 85051B 7 mm Verification Kit This manual applies directly to 85051B Verification Kits that have serial number prefix 2815A. The verification devices in this kit are individually serialized. User's and Service Guide...
General Information Verification Kit Overview The Keysight 85051B 7 mm verification kit provides a set of standards with known characteristics, traceable to a reference (golden) standard in Keysight Technologies calibration lab. This set of standards is used to verify your measurement calibration and also to verify that your PNA system is operating within its specifications.
“Contacting Keysight” on page Calibration Definitions The 85051B verification kit is intended to be used with the 85050B/C/D 7 mm calibration kits. Prior to performing a calibration with your PNA, the calibration kit must be selected and the calibration definitions for the devices in the kit installed in the PNA.

Keysight 85051B 7 mm Verification Kit User’s and Service Guide Specifications Environmental Requirements Samples of this product have been type-tested in accordance with the Keysight Environmental Test Manual and verified to be robust against the environmental stresses of storage, transportation and end-use; those stresses include but are not limited to temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, altitude and power-line conditions.
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 improper pin depth when the kit leaves the factory.
The center and outer conductors of the airlines in this kit have been mechanically measured and matched. Do not use the center or outer conductors provided in this kit with a center or outer conductor from any other airline. Damage to the airline or attaching connector may result. 85051B...

Keysight 85051B 7 mm Verification Kit User’s and Service Guide Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Electrostatic Discharge Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or cleaning connectors attached to a static-sensitive circuit (such as those found in test sets).
Look especially for deep scratches or dents, and for dirt and metal particles on the connector mating plane surfaces. Also look for signs of damage due to excessive or uneven wear or misalignment. 85051B...
Page 20
Other small defects and cosmetic imperfections are also normal. None of these affect electrical or mechanical performance. If a connector shows deep scratches or dents, particles clinging to the mating plane surfaces, or uneven wear, clean and inspect it again. 85051B...
Refer to Table 6-3 on page 4 a part number for cleaning swabs. a. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free cleaning swab. b. Clean the connector threads. 85051B...

Always completely dry a connector before you reassemble or use it. 4. Inspect Inspect the connector to make sure that no particles or residue remain. Refer to “Visual Inspection” on page 85051B...
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors Gaging Connectors The gages available from Keysight Technologies are intended for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting purposes only. They are effective in detecting excessive center conductor protrusion or recession, and conductor damage on DUTs, test accessories, and the calibration kit devices. Do not use the gages for precise pin depth measurements.
If the center conductor protrudes, the indicator will move clockwise to indicate the amount of protrusion, which is read as a positive value. Figure 3-2 Reading the Connector Gage 85051B...
Read the gage indicator dial. If the needle has moved clockwise, the center conductor is protruding by an amount indicated by the black numbers. If the needle has moved counterclockwise, the center conductor is recessed by an amount indicated by the red numbers. 85051B...

Replace the other plastic cap on the outer conductor and store the center and outer conductors in the foam lined storage case. 85051B 3-13...
Very light finger pressure is enough to accomplish this. 10.Make sure the connectors are properly supported. Relieve any side pressure on the connection from long or heavy devices or cables. 3-14 85051B...

10.Mate the outer conductors of the port 2 cable connector and airline finger tight. 11.Torque the cable connectors as shown in Figure 3-11 on page 20. To keep the airline from turning, either hold its plastic insulation or use an open end wrench while you torque the connection. 85051B 3-19...
If disconnecting an airline and the airline center conductor does not disengage from the device center conductor, gently pull the center conductors apart and then push the airline center conductor back inside the outer conductor of the airline. 3-20 85051B...
— 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. 85051B 3-21...
