Preventing Test Port Connector Damage
• Keep connectors clean and protect using the plastic end
caps provided with each sensor.
• Inspect connectors regularly, and look for metal debris,
scratches or dents.
• Clean contact surface andthreads with clean& drycom-
pressed air.
• Alignconnectorsrstandonlyrotatetheconnectornut.
• Always follow MIL-C-39012standards for making a con-
nection
• AMIL-C-39012orprecisiontype“N”connectorisrecom-
mended for the RF line signal source connection
• Afterproperalignment,rotatetheconnectornutbyhand

a signal source or power meter.
• If “N” connector is not equipped with a hex, it is recom-
mendedtouseaspeciedmatingtorque.
• Do not over-tighten the connector by using the sensor
body for additional leverage
1) Only rotate the connector nut, DO NOT use the sensor body
or device to tighten the connector.
2) Do not use a torque wrench to tighten the connector.
3) Do not use a connector with deformed threads, or a bent or
broken conductor.
4) Do not touch mating-plane surfaces with oily, or wax-like
