Permanent Link Interface Adapters
(DSP-4000PL/4300)
Caution
To avoid damaging the adapter and to ensure
maximum accuracy of test results, never
pinch, kink, or crush the adapter’s cable.
Never use the cable as a handle to pick up
the DSP test tool. Follow the handling
guidelines given in Figures 3 and 4.
For the best accuracy, keep the adapter’s
cable as straight as possible during testing.
To avoid latent or immediate damage due to
electrostatic discharge:
• Before handling a module or an adapter with
no module attached, ground yourself when
possible by touching a grounded, conductive
surface.
• Always remove the adapter from the DSP test
tool before changing the personality module.
• Always keep a personality module attached
to the adapter cable.
• Tighten the screw snugly with your fingers
only. Do not overtighten. Doing so can
damage the module or the end of the cable.
• Always store the personality module in its
original, static protection bag when not in
use.
