  • Page 32: Make Good Connections

    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.
  • Page 33: Figure 3- 1 Wrench Positions

    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.
  • Page 34: Figure 3- 2 Using The Torque Wrench

    Service and Maintenance 4 Hold the torque wrench lightly, at the end of the handle only (beyond the groove). Refer to Figure 3- Torquing direction Stop when handle begins to yield Figure 3- 2 Using the Torque Wrench 5 Apply downward force perpendicular to the wrench handle. Refer to Figure 3- 2.
  • Page 35 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.
