Waveguide protection foam

Do not remove, displace, or damage the non-conductive foam installed in the

open end of the waveguide. This foam keeps small objects from entering the

waveguide.

Assure the mixer body is properly supported so it does not present any stress on

the waveguide connection. Instrument option 301 provides a jackstand that

allows a stable support and height adjustment.

Install the waveguide flange cap whenever the mixer is not connected to a device

under test. This will protect the waveguide flange mating surface.

Assure the shoulder of the mixer waveguide flange is properly aligned with the

flange of the device under test. To ensure proper mating, it is important to tighten

all screws equally. To do this, tighten opposed screws in pairs by a small amount

until all are snug. Final torque must not exceed 7 in pounds.
