NOTICE! Risk of instrument damage and connector damage. Excessive tightening
can damage the cables and the connectors. However, if you do not tighten the con-
nectors enough, the measurement results can be inaccurate.
To connect the cable with the connector, proceed as follows:
a) Carefully align the connector of the cable and the connector along a common
axis.
b) Mate the connectors along the common axis until the male pin of the inner con-
nector engages with the female socket of the outer connector.
c) Turn the nut of the outer connector until the connectors are firmly coupled.
d) Torque the nut to the specified limit using a calibrated torque wrench. Hold the
opposite connector part stationary with a spanner.
For torque limits of the most relevant connector types, see Table 3-1.
3. Torque the nut to the specified limit using a calibrated torque wrench. Hold the
opposite connector part stationary with a spanner.
For more information, see chapter "Handling" of the application note 1MA99.
If your instrument is equipped with a test port adapter, see the application note
1MA100.
The connector types listed in this table represent the common connectors provided by
Rohde & Schwarz. It is considered as general information and therefore can contain
connector types that do not apply to your instrument.
See "RF A/RF B" on page 43.

To prevent RF output switch-off
►
NOTICE! If you set a too high output level without a load connected to the instru-
ment, the reverse power can exceed a limit forcing the R&S SMW to switch off the
RF output.
Connect a load with sufficient return loss as given in the data sheet.
