Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting information is intended to first isolate the power sensor, the
cable, or the power meter as the defective component. When the power sensor is
isolated, a “Restored Sensor Module” must be used for repair. See Table 1-7.
If error message
241 or 310 is indicated on the power meter, suspect failed power
sensor. If no error message is displayed, but a problem occurs when making a
measurement, try replacing the cable from the power meter to the power sensor.
If the problem still exists, try using a different power sensor to determine if the
problem is in the power meter or in the power sensor.
The maximum measurable power of a power sensor varies depending on the
sensor model. Incidentally, Keysight Technologies’ service centers receive a high
number of power sensor that have been damaged due to overpowering of the
sensor bulkhead, resulting in the damage of the internal thin film circuit.
Subjecting a power sensor module above its maximum allowable power rating is
considered a misuse or self-abuse and is excluded from Keysight Technologies’
standard warranty coverage.

Repair of defective sensor
There are no serviceable parts inside the E44XX-Series sensors. If the sensor is
defective, replace the entire “module” with the appropriate “Restored sensor
Module.” See Table 1-7.
Electrostatic discharge will render the power sensor inoperative. Do not,
under any circumstances, open the power sensor unless you and the power
sensor are in a static free environment.
