Calibrating the Switch

No calibration is required.

Maintaining the Switch

Clean the connector ends with a lint-free tissue and alcohol before every mating. See the Cleaning Connectors section.

Clean the internal connectors and the panel-mounted connector bulkheads periodically or when high losses are suspected. The internal connectors can be accessed by removing the connector panel:

1.Remove the retaining screws of the connector panel.

2.Slowly pull the panel out to the full extent of its guide rails (Figure 13).

Figure 13: Removing the Connector Panel

3.Remove the connectors from the connector bulkheads.

4.Clean the connector ends and the bulkhead mating sleeves with a lint-free tissue and alcohol.

5.Reinstall the connectors into the bulkheads.
