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.
17.1 Cleaning
How to clean the product is described in "Cleaning the product" on page 21.
Do not use any liquids for cleaning. Cleaning agents, solvents (thinners, acetone),
acids and bases can damage the front panel labeling, plastic parts and display.
17.2 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.
17.3 Performing Maintenance Tasks
The R&S SMW is accurate due to integrated adjustment procedures and the following
additional capabilities that assure correct functioning:
●
Internal adjustments
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
authorized Rohde & Schwarz service center. For description, see R&S SMW ser-
vice manual.
●
Self-test
A self-test is provided for service purposes.
●
Test points
If necessary for service purposes, internal test points can be queried. For descrip-
tion, see R&S SMW service manual.
When to start internal adjustments?
We recommend that you perform 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.
