2. Inspect both RF connectors carefully. Look for metal particles, contaminants
and defects.
If either RF connector is damaged, do not proceed, because the risk of dam-
aging the mating connector is too high.
3. Insert the RF connector straight into the RF output of your DUT. Take care not
to tilt it.

4. NOTICE! Risk of damaging the center pin of the RF connector. Only rotate the
hex nut of the RF connector. Never rotate the power sensor itself.
Tighten the RF connector manually.
5. Tighten the RF connector using a torque wrench with the nominal torque rec-
ommended in Chapter 4.1, "RF connector", on page 28 to ensure maximum
measurement accuracy.
To disconnect from the DUT
1. NOTICE! Risk of damaging the center pin of the RF connector. Only rotate the
hex nut of the RF connector. Never rotate the power sensor itself.
Carefully loosen the union nut at the front of the RF connector of the power
sensor.
2. Remove the power sensor.
