General Information

 

This chapter contains information about general maintenance, performance

 

tests, troubleshooting and repair of Agilent E-series E9300 power sensors.

 

Cleaning

 

Use a clean, damp cloth to clean the body of the Agilent E-series E9300 power

 

sensor.

 

Connector Cleaning

 

 

Caution

The RF connector beads deteriorate when contacted by hydrocarbon

 

compounds such as acetone, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride,

 

and benzene.

 

 

 

 

Caution

Clean the connector only at a static free workstation. Electrostatic

 

discharge to the center pin of the connector will render the power

 

sensor inoperative.

 

 

 

Keeping in mind its flammable nature; a solution of pure isopropyl or ethyl

 

alcohol can be used to clean the connector.

 

Clean the connector face using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. If

 

the swab is too big use a round wooden toothpick wrapped in a lint free cotton

 

cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Refer to Agilent Application Note 326,

 

Principles of Microwave Connector Care (5954-1566) or Microwave Connector

 

Care (08510-90064) for proper cleaning methods.
