How to Separate a Connection

To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the devices and connections.

CAUTION Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.

1.Use an open-end wrench to prevent the device body from turning.

2.Use another open-end wrench to loosen the connector nut.

3.Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connector nut.

4.Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending either of the connectors.

Handling and Storage

•Install the protective end caps and store the calibration devices in the foam-lined storage case when not in use.

•Never store connectors loose in a box, desk, or bench drawer. This is the most common cause of connector damage during storage.

•Keep connectors clean.

•Do not touch mating plane surfaces. Natural skin oils and microscopic particles of dirt are easily transferred to a connector interface and are very difficult to remove.

•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.
