Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Making Connections
Separating Connections
To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, 
always support the devices and connections.
1. Use an open-end wrench or spanner wrench to prevent the device body 
from turning.
2. Use another open-end wrench or the torque wrench to loosen the 
connector nut.
3. Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connector nut.
4. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending.

a. Many older Keysight calibration module manuals list different torque tolerances for the various torque wrenches. The 
correct torque tolerance for Keysight torque wrenches is ±10% of the torque setting as listed in this table.
Do not turn the device body. Only turn the connector nut. Damage to the 
center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
