ESD Sensitive Assemblies
T
est set assemblies are very sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge.
They may or may not continue to function if subjected to electrostatic
discharge. Their reliability, however, will be impaired. Handle the
instrument devices at static-safe work stations, only.
Observe the following normal precautions when handling and operating the
test set:
•
Do not exceed the input power levels listed below:
Table 1-7
Power Level
+17 dBm
+17 dBm
1
+30 dBm
1. This is the maximum input power allowed with HP 8517B Option 004, or
Option 004 "plus" Option 007, when the attenuator is set to 20 dB. Without
attenuation, the maximum input power allowed is +17 dBm.
•
Do not exceed +15 dBm into the test set with the source RF input.
•
Never apply a dc voltage to the source RF input of the test set.
•
Do not torque any connection at the test port connectors to more than
90 N-cm (8 in-lb). The wrench supplied with your accessory kit is
calibrated for 90 N-cm (8 in-lb) torque.
•
Do not torque any connection to more than 90 N-cm (8 in-lb) at the
source RF input or on the back of your test set.
The voltages inside this test set warrant normal caution for operator safety.
Nevertheless, service should be performed by qualified personnel, only.
Service strategy, troubleshooting procedures, replaceable parts, and other
information about the test set are provided in this manual or the HP 8510C
On-Site Service Manual.
