2.9. Service and Calibration
The programmable attenuators do not require any periodic service or calibration.
The only user-performed service possible for attenuator modules is external cleaning of the case and connectors as needed. Do
not use any detergents or spray cleaning solutions. The case can be cleaned with a soft, slightly dampened cloth and the
connectors with an alcohol solution. Do not allow any liquid ingress into the case or connectors.
2.10. Safety & Precautions
Mini-Circuits’ programmable attenuators contain no user serviceable parts and should not be opened. Discontinue use and
contact Mini-Circuits in the event of visible damage to any parts.
Please observe the following safety precautions at all times when using Mini-Circuits’ attenuator modules:
Caution:
• Do not input to the device signals of greater power than the attenuator is rated for in its datasheet.
• Safe power input degrades below specified frequency range. Do not input signals below the specified frequency
range.
Warning:
• Properly ground all equipment to reduce the risk of accidental electrical shock.
