General Information
This chapter contains information about general maintenance, performance tests,
troubleshooting and repair of Keysight E-Series E9300 power sensors.
Cleaning
Use a clean, damp cloth to clean the body of the Keysight E-Series E9300 power
sensor.
Connector cleaning
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 Keysight Application Note 326, Principles of
Microwave Connector Care (5954-1566) or Microwave Connector Care
(08510-90064) for proper cleaning methods.
The RF connector beads deteriorate when contacted by hydrocarbon
compounds such as acetone, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and
benzene.
Clean the connector only at a static free workstation. Electrostatic discharge
to the center pin of the connector will render the power sensor inoperative.
