sliding load body and torque the sliding load nut to 12 in-lb. (136 N-cm) using the torque wrench
provided. Do not let the sliding load body rotate when torquing the nut.
Disconnecting the Sliding Load
Reverse the previous procedure leaving the lock nut tight. Support the sliding load at both ends at
all times.
Replace the protective plastic cap over the connector end. This cap provides protection without
requiring that the center conductor be withdrawn from the measurement plane. It also keeps the
center conductor tip from coming out of the connector.

How to Separate a Connection

To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the devices
and connections.
CAUTION Do not turn the device body. Only turn the connector nut. Damage to the center
conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
Use an open-end wrench to prevent the device body from turning.

2. Use the torque wrench to loosen the connecting nut.
3. Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connecting nut.
4. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending either of the connectors.
