15 Maintenance, storage and disposal
The product does not require regular maintenance. It only requires occasional clean-
ing. It is however advisable to check the nominal data from time to time.
15.1 Cleaning
How to clean the product is described in "Cleaning the product" on page 20.
Do not use any liquids for cleaning. Cleaning agents, solvents, acids and bases can
damage the front panel labeling, plastic parts and display.
15.2 Storage
Protect the product against dust. Ensure that the environmental conditions, e.g. tem-
perature range and climatic load, meet the values specified in the data sheet.
15.3 Performing maintenance tasks
The R&S SMB100B is accurate due to integrated adjustment procedures. Internal
adjustments are integrated self-calibration routines, which you can execute directly on
the instrument.
Self-calibration routines that require additional equipment are performed at an author-
ized Rohde & Schwarz service center. For description, see R&S SMB100B service
manual.
When to start internal adjustments?
We recommend that you run internal adjustments in the following cases:
●
Before starting any application that requires a maximum of level accuracy.
●
When a long period of time has passed since the last adjustments.
●
If the ambient temperature of the instrument significantly differs from the one of the
last adjustments.
How to: See Chapter 15.3.1.3, "How to use the internal adjustments", on page 590.
