Performance Test
The performance test is a series of tests based on the published 1-year
specifications for the Instrument. Environmental and warm up conditions required
for performing the performance test are:
• Ambient temperature of the test environment is 23 ±1 °C.
• Warmup time (continuous operation) for the Instrument, with all covers in
place, is 1 hour (24 hours for testing the accuracy of the Reference
Frequency and Output Frequency).
Each test lists of the equipment required to perform the test and a figure detailing
the equipment connections for the test. Do the tests in sequence and ensure that
all prior equipment connections have been removed prior to starting a new test.
Fluke Calibration recommends that optional tests indicated be performed after
repair, but are not essential for routine verification. For some tests, the
uncertainty of the recommended equipment is significant and must be taken into
account to determine compliance with published specifications. Use the
Performance Test Record, provided at the end of this manual, to facilitate the
recording of results, and where necessary, account for the uncertainty of the
measurement equipment. Fluke Calibration recommends the use of a photocopy
of the Performance Test Record pages (see Appendix A) to record results as the
tests are performed.
 Caution
To prevent damage to the Leveling Head assembly and
adapters, make sure the dimensions of the connectors match
prior to mating. The center conductor (pin diameter) of 75 Ω
connectors differs significantly from those of 50 Ω connectors.
Mating a 50 Ω male with a 75 Ω female will DESTROY the female
contact, causing costly damage to the Leveling Head assembly
as well as the adapters, while mating a 75 Ω male with a 50 Ω
female will result in a poor electrical connection.
 Caution
Tighten/loosen all RF Connectors by turning the collar, not the
body. Rotating the connector body will damage the center pin,
causing costly damage, as well as seriously deteriorating
measurement results.
Note
Use extreme care during all connect/disconnect operations of the RF
Connectors. Fluke Calibration recommends that a properly set
torque wrench be used to secure all RF connections, where
possible. For Type-N Connectors, use a torque value of 1 Nm
(9 in-lb). For 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm Connectors, use a torque value of
0.45 Nm (4 in-lb).
