Service and Maintenance Keep isopropyl alcohol away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store it in a tightly WARNING closed container. It is extremely flammable. In case of fire, use alcohol foam, dry chemicals, or carbon dioxide; water may be ineffective. Use isopropyl alcohol with adequate ventilation and avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Service and Maintenance Make good connections Good connections require a skilled operator. The most common cause of measurement error is bad connections. The following procedures explain how to make good connections. Make a preliminary connection 1 Ground yourself and all devices. Wear a grounded wrist strap and work on a grounded, conductive table mat.
Service and Maintenance Make the final connection using a torque wrench 1 Use a torque wrench to make the final connection. The table below provides information about the torque wrench. Using the torque wrench guarantees that the connection is not too tight, preventing possible connector damage. It also ensures that all connections are equally tight each time.
Service and Maintenance 4 Hold the torque wrench lightly, at the end of the handle only (beyond the groove). Refer to Figure 2-2 below. Torquing direction Stop when handle begins to yield Figure 2-2 Using the torque wrench 5 Apply downward force perpendicular to the wrench handle. Refer to Figure 2-2.
Page 37
Service and Maintenance Separate a connection To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surface, always support the devices and connections. Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center CAUTION conductor can occur if the device is twisted. 1 Use an open-end wrench to prevent the device body from turning.
