GENERAL PRECAUTIONS.

The following are general precautions that are not related to any specific procedure and, therefore, do not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are precautions that personnel must understand and apply during various phases of instrument operation or service.

WARNING

•

Potentially lethal voltages are present in this instrument. Serious shock hazards from voltages above 70 volts may exist in any connector, chassis, or circuit board. Observe the following precautions:

•

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis must be connected to an electrical ground. Using the supplied three-conductor power cable ensures that the instrument can be firmly connected to the ac power source and electrical ground at a grounded power outlet. If using a 3-2 wire adapter be sure to connect the ground lead to earth ground.

•

Use the buddy system any time work involving active high voltage components is required. Turn

OFF the power before making/breaking any electrical connection. Regard any exposed connector, terminal board, or circuit board as a possible shock hazard. DO NOT replace any component or module with power applied.

•

If test conditions to live equipment are required, ground the test equipment before probing the voltage or signal to be tested.

•

Personnel working with or near high voltage should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.

•

DO NOT wear jewelry (rings, bracelets, metal watches, and/or neck chains) while working on exposed equipment. Be very cautious about using hand tools near exposed backplanes, bus bars, and/or power supply terminals. Use properly insulated tools. When making test connections to the power supply terminals and bus bars, use only insulated probe tips.

•

Verify that the instrument is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is installed.

•

DO NOT install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to this instrument.

Contact Weinschel Corporation to acquire any information on replacement parts or returning the instrument for repair. Unauthorized modification can cause injury to personnel and/or destruction of the instrument.

•

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement or adjustments

MUST BE performed by qualified service personnel.

•

DO NOT operate the instrument near or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

DETAILED PRECAUTIONS.

The following WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES appear throughout the text of this manual and are repeated here for emphasis.

SAFETY SUMMARY

CAUTION

•

All procedures and/or steps identified as must be followed exactly as written and according to industry accepted ESDS device handling procedures. Failure to comply WILL

RESULT in ESDS damage.

•

DO NOT use a nylon bristle brush in the solvent as the bristles may dissolve and cause damage to the circuit card or component.

•

DO NOT use ultrasonic cleaning on parts or assemblies containing electrical or electronic components.

•

DO NOT bend pins of electrical connectors when using fiber-bristle brush.

•

1. GENERAL INFORMATION:

IM-289A

1-1 PURPOSE: This manual contains setup and operation information for the Aeroflex / Weinschel’s 8310 Series of

Programmable Attenuator Units. The manual also provides component location, reference designators, part numbers, and nomenclature to identify all the assemblies and sub-assemblies of the Attenuator Unit.

1-2 SCOPE: This manual is to be used in conjunction with the operation and maintenance of a 8310 Series

Programmable Attenuator Unit. The manual also provides a description of each assembly; assembly parts list; block diagrams: and general maintenance procedures to maintain the instrument.

1-3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: Aeroflex / Weinschel’s 8310 Series Programmable

Attenuator Units represents a new concept in programmable attenuation for bench test and subsystem applications. Standard Model 8310 designs house and control various

Aeroflex / Weinschel Programmable Attenuator Models (3200T, 150T, and 4200 Series) via front panel controls or standard communications interfaces including GPIB (IEEE-

488) and RS-232/RS-422/RS485. Special configurations also exist where the RF section is designed to specific customer requirements which can contain to multiple programmable attenuations used in-conjunction with other coaxial devices such as switches, power combiners, directional couplers, and filters creating single or multichannel subsystems.

1-4 USING THE 8310: The 8310 Series provides front-panel and computer control for up to four channels of attenuation, RF switching, or other functions. The 8310 combines the features of the Aeroflex / Weinschel 8210A

Device Controller with a front panel user interface to form a flexible, easy to use solution. Most 8310 Series are single channel configurations where RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted Ports A & B connector

(Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear) to a single or multiple Aeroflex / Weinschel programmable attenuators thus creating CH1 (Channel 1). Note that when a Port is in use the Port indicator will be illuminated. Dual channel units typically use Ports A and B for CH1 and Ports C and D for CH2 (Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear for CH1 and

Ports B-B for CH2). Multi-channel (3-4) units are generally routed front to rear and configured as follows:

CH1 Port A (Front) to Port A (Rear)

CH2 Port B (Front) to Port B (Rear)

CH3 Port C (Front) to Port C (Rear)

CH4 Port D (Front) to Port D (Rear)

For specialized configurations refer to supplemental information in the front of this manual for details.

Typically Aeroflex / Weinschel digital attenuators are bi-directional and the RF signal can be applied to either Port connector. Channels can be selected by toggling the front panel CHAN button until the desired CH1-CH4 indicator is illuminated. Repeated depressions of the CHAN key will select the next available channel. The main display will show the current attenuation setting of the channel. A new attenuation setting in dB may be entered using the INCR/DECR or ENTRY keys. The front panel STEP key allows the user to define the attenuation step size used by the INCR and

DECR keys. Remember that the attenuation step size (resolution) is limited to the physical size of the internal attenuator cells. For example a 0-70 unit with 10 dB steps can only be adjusted in 10 dB increments but larger increments such as 20, 30, 40 dB can be set using this key.

The REL key allows the user to set relative mode for attenuators. When turned on, the currently displayed attenuation value is used as a reference value from which the attenuation may be set. In this mode, attenuation values may be positive or negative from the reference setting. When REL is turned off, the display returns to the actual attenuation setting for the channel. Refer to Section 5 for more detailed information about the front panel keys and indicators. All 8310

Series functions can also be controlled via standard communications interfaces including GPIB (IEEE-488) and RS-232/RS-422 /RS485. Refer to Section 6 for bus setup and operating instructions when using the 8310 Series in the remote mode.

Setup the IEEE-488 bus address or RS-232/422 Communications options for your application using paragraphs 5-2. If using the RS-422 serial configure the selectable signal pair terminations using paragraph 5-4.

Aeroflex / Weinschel 10

Model 8310 IM-289A

3-3 INPUT/OUTPUT OPTIONS: The following paragraphs provide a description of the connections that can be made to the 8310 Series Attenuator Unit. Figure 1 shows the location of these connectors and switches.

WARNING

Sufficient power levels are present at the Power Input Assembly to cause personal injury.

Ensure that the instrument power cord is DISCONNECTED before attempting to change fuses.

Figure 1. Front & Rear Panel Connectors

3-3.1 POWER ENTRY MODULE ASSEMBLY: The Power Entry Module Assembly located on the rear panel contains a three-prong ac power input connector and a fuse drawer assembly (Figure 1). The Fuse Drawer Assembly contains the line voltage fuse (Weinschel P/N 052-1-1.5). The Model 8310 uses a T 1.5A, 250 Vac fuse which is 5 x

20 mm in size. Refer to paragraph 8-4.1 for replacement of the fuse.

The AC Power Connector, located on the left side of XF1 (Figure 1), is a plug-type, prong insert connector with three conductors for connection of the power cord (P/N 068-21) to the Power Supply Assembly located within the Attenuator

Unit. This connector also grounds the chassis of the Attenuator Unit when the ac power cord is connected to a grounded wall outlet. If necessary, use a three prong to two prong adapter and connect the adapter’s ground lead to the outlet plate retaining screw.

The Power ON/OFF Switch is located on the rear panel and in part of the Power Entry Module Assembly. Placing the

POWER ON/OFF switch in the ON position applies power to the instrument.

CAUTION

When applying an RF signal to the RF INPUT connector, DO NOT exceed the maximum allowable power level specifications of the Model 8310.

3-3.2. PORTS A-D CONNECTORS: A typical 8310 Series Attenuator Unit contains 4 four standard D holes on the front and rear panel allowing for single or multi-channel configurations. Standard Model 8310’s are supplied with two PLANAR CROWN

Type N connectors that can be mounted on the front or rear panel.

These connectors provide a input and output port where various types of RF signals can be applied to the devices internally mounted in the Model 8310 (Connector location specified by customer when ordering).

Some special configurations could contain Aeroflex / Weinschel’s Model 1568 SMA Panel Adapters or other types of crowns (see accessories for other types).

Aeroflex / Weinschel 11

Model 8310 IM-289A

NOTE

The use of the PLANAR CROWN

connectors provide the user with easy exchange of connector types, which eliminates the need for adapters and other devices that would create additional insertion loss. This type of connector also provides quick removal and replacement of defective connectors.

For more information about the PLANAR CROWN

connectors contact the Sales Department at

Aeroflex / Weinschel.

4. FRONT PANEL CONTROLS & INDICATORS:

The following paragraphs provide setup and general guidelines for operating the 8310 Series Programmable

Attenuator Unit and its different bus configurations. Also provided is a general description of the internal circuitry of the

8310.

Figure 2. 8310 Series Front Panel

ENTRY keys: The numeric entry keys allow the user to directly enter numeric values. When using the keypad, values are not updated until the ENT (enter) key is pressed. The Minus (-) and CE (clear entry) functions may be accessed via first depressing the SHIFT key.

INCR & DECR : The INCR and DECR keys allow settings to be scrolled from their current value.

Unlike the ENTRY keys, the new setting is updated immediately without the use of the ENT key.

CHAN: Allows the selection of the current channel, as indicated by the CH1-CH4 indicators.

Repeated depressions of the CHAN key will select the next available channel. The main display will show the current setting of the channel.

REL: This key control allows the use of a relative mode for attenuators, as indicated by the REL mode indicator. When turned on, the currently displayed attenuation value is used as a reference value from which the attenuation may be set. In this mode, attenuation values may be positive or negative from the reference setting. When REL is turned off, the display returns to the actual attenuation setting for the channel.

STEP: This key allows the user to change the attenuation step size used by the INCR and DECR keys. When turned on, as, indicated by the STEP indicator, the current step size is displayed in the main display, and a new value may be entered using the INCR/DECR or ENTRY keys. The step size may be set to any multiple of the intrinsic step size for the currently selected channel.

MENU: Invokes the menu functions. Menu selections may be made via the INCR and DECR keys.

(NOTE: menu functions are currently not implemented as of 3/8/99)

AUX1/AUX2: The function of these keys is user-programmable via remote operation. They invoke any currently defined AUX1 and AUX2 macros. Refer to the macro programming section for information on creating macro definitions.

LOCAL: This key places the 8310 in local operation mode, unless the key function has been overridden via an IEEE-488.2 local lockout or execution of the LOCKOUT command.

ADDR: This key displays the current IEEE-488.2 address. The address may be changed from the front-panel, however, the initial setting at power on is derived from the rear-panel address switch.

5-3. IEEE-488 (GPIB) Bus Operation

The internal functions of Model 8310 are controlled via an IEEE-488 bus and an external controller. The front panel LSN and RMT indicators (Figure 2) are used as status indicators for the Model 8310 Programmable Interface’s

IEEE-488 bus operation. During bus operation a flashing LSN indicates that the Model 8310 is receiving. The RMT indicator is illuminated when the Model 8310 is in the remote state.

The GPIB interface of the 8310 is IEEE-488.2 compliant. The 8310 recognizes instructions and data sent via the GPIB interface in the form of program messages comprised of ASCII characters. A program message is comprised of a sequence of program message units separated by semicolons and terminated by a line terminator

(LINE END). A line terminator takes the form of an ASCII LF character (0AH), or an EOI signal asserted with the last data byte, or both. The 8310 program message units may be divided into two syntax groups: commands and queries.

Refer to the section on command syntax for more information.

Aeroflex / Weinschel 15

Model 8310 IM-289A

5-4. Serial Operation: The serial interface (RS232/RS422) provides a means of remotely programming the 8310 via external computer. The 8310 provides for user-selectable communications parameters via a DIP switch (SW1), including baud rate, data format, and handshaking method. LED indicators are provided for transmit (TX) and receive

(RX) activity. Selection between RS232/RS422 mode is controlled via an internal 4 position DIP switch SW2, which also provides for user-selectable 120 ohm terminations for the RS422 receiver lines. The RS422 mode transceivers are electrically compatible with RS485.

SW2 RS232 RS422

RS485

Description

Select On = Termination

Off = No Termination

Select On = Termination

Off = No Termination

On = RS232

Off = RS422

The data format includes a start bit, eight data bits, and one stop bit (N81). The Baud Rate may be set to

2400, 9600, 19200, or 34800. Parity selections include settings for None, Even, or Odd parity. Handshaking may be enabled, if desired, and the method may be set to either hardware (RTS/CTS) or software (XON/XOFF). For interactive terminal use, echoing may be enabled, in which the 8210A will echo all characters received back to the terminal.

All data and commands are encoded using the ASCII character set. The syntax for commands is the same as for GPIB operation, and uses the syntax structure defined by IEEE 488.2, with the exception of the command termination rules. Commands sent to the 8210A may be terminated with either an ASCII CR (0x0D) or ASCII LF

(0x0A) character. By default, all responses from the 8210A are terminated in an ASCII CR/LF sequence (0x0D followed by 0x0A).

Software handshaking uses the XON/XOFF scheme in which an ASCII DC3 (0x13) character is transmitted by the receiver to indicate that data transmission should be halted (XOFF), and an ASCII DC1 (0x11) character is transmitted to indicate that data transmission may continue (XON). Hardware handshaking utilizes the RTS and CTS lines. When the RTS output signal is asserted true, the unit is ready for data. This signal should be connected to the external computer's CTS input signal, so that when the receiver is ready, the transmitter may send data. When the unit is not ready for data, it unasserts the RTS signal, halting data transmission. Likewise, the unit monitors the CTS input signal during data transmission, halting transmission if the external computer unasserts it's RTS signal. In addition, the 8310 unasserts the RTS signal while command execution is in progress.

For those systems incorporating local front panel controls, the serial port can lockout local users, providing a Remote/

Local function similar to that of GPIB operation.

5-5. Status Reporting

The 8310A implements the 488.2 Status Reporting Structure, which utilizes the IEEE488.1 status byte with additional data structures and rules. The Status Byte Register can be read with either a serial poll (IEEE-488 operation only) or the *STB? common query command. The Service Request Enable Register (SRE) allows the user to select which bits in the Status Byte Register may cause service requests. A bit value of one indicates that the corresponding event is enabled, while a bit value of zero disables an event. The Service Request Enable Register may be accessed with the *SRE and *SRE? common commands. The Status Byte Register may be cleared with the

*CLS common command, with the exception of the MAV bit, which is controlled by the operation of the Output Queue.

The Status Reporting Registers may be used for serial communications, with certain limitations. The Status

Byte Register can only be read via the *STB? query command, as the comm port does not provide for a serial poll operation. Also, as data in the Output Queue is sent automatically during serial operation, the MAV message available bit in the STB serves no purpose.

5-6. GENERAL SYNTAX STRUCTURE: The following paragraphs outline the general syntax and command structure for the Model 8310. This structure is common to all bus flavors of the Model 8310.

NOTE

In the descriptions that follow, the term whitespace is used to define a sequence of one or more combinations of ASCII Space (20h), Carriage return (0Dh), or

Tab (09h) characters.

5-6.1 SYNTAX OF QUERIES: A query message unit is made up of a query header ending in an ASCII question mark character ’?’ (3FH), followed by optional whitespace, and ended by a program message terminator. To form a multiple query, separate the individual program message units with a semicolon.

Examples : "ATTN?"

"ASSIGN?" b. Multiple Query Commands:

"ATTN?; ASSIGN?"

5-6.2 SYNTAX OF COMMANDS: A command message unit is made up of a command header, optionally followed by an argument and units, and ended by a program message terminator. If multiple commands are made on the same program line, separate the individual command messages with a semicolon.

Arguments - The 8310 supports a variety of argument types that can be used in program commands.

These types are:

•

Character Program Data

•

Integer Numeric Program Data

•

Real Numeric Program Data

Each data type has its own rules of syntax. The following paragraphs provide the syntax rules for each of the argument types listed above.

Character Program Data-This data type is comprised of the set of printable ASCII characters (excluding those used as delimiters). Character program data represents alpha or alphanumeric strings. The use of alpha characters is case-insensitive. If the first character of the string is not an alpha character, then the string must be delimited with either the ASCII single-quote (’) or double-quote (") character in order to distinguish the string from a numeric data type.

Examples: ATTEN1

"150T"

Integer Numeric Program Data-This data type is used to represent integer, binary, or hexidecimal numeric information, all of which may be used interchangeably. Integer data is comprised of the numeric digits ’0’-’9’, binary data is comprised of the digits ’0’ and ’1’ preceded by the characters ’#B’, and hexidecimal data is comprised of the digits ’0’-’9’, and the letters ’A’-’F’, preceded by the characters ’#H’ or the C language style prefix ’0x’.

Examples: 123 (integer)

#H55 (hex)

0xAA (hex)

#B1010 (binary)

Aeroflex / Weinschel 20

Model 8310 IM-289A

Real Numeric Program Data-This data type includes decimal numbers containing a sign, decimal point, and/or an exponent. The format is as follows: [sign]digits[.[digits][E[sign]digits]]

Examples: 2

2.5

-35.25E+2

In the command descriptions that follow, argument types are also described using the following additional conventions to indicate the relative size of the parameter: byte word int8 int16 int32 string

- used to indicate an 8-bit unsigned integer

- used to indicate a 16-bit unsigned integer

- 8-bit integer

- 16-bit integer

- 32-bit integer

- character data, including the max number of characters allowable.

(i.e., string8 has a max of 8 chars)

5-6.3 OUTPUT DATA FORMAT: Output data from the Model 8310 consists of a series of ASCII digits and message strings, terminated with an ASCII Line-Feed character (0AH), in response to a program message that contains one or more query commands. In the case of multiple query commands in the same program message, the data resulting from each of the individual message units will be separated by an ASCII comma (2CH) character.

5-6.4 NOTATIONAL CONVENTION.

[ ] Brackets indicate optional arguments or parameters.

{ } One and only one of the enclosed entries must be selected unless the field is also surrounded by brackets, in which case it is optional.

... Ellipses indicate that the preceding argument or parameter may be repeated.

[,...] The preceding item may be repeated, but each repetition must be separated by a comma.

6. GENERAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

IM-289A

This section contains general descriptions and systematic explanation of the Model 8310’s design and internal circuitry. Standard 8310 Series Programmable Attenuator Units contain internal circuitry to control a variety of

Aeroflex / Weinschel programmable attenuators (3200T, 150T, and 4200 Series) via front panel controls or standard communications interfaces including GPIB (IEEE-488) and RS-232/RS-422 /RS485. Figure 5 provides a simplified block diagram of the 8310’s internal circuitry.

Figure 5. 8310 Series Simplified Block Diagram

6-1. POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY: The Model 8310 contains a high-efficiency switching type Power Supply

Assembly (A3) which will operate with a 100 to 240 Vac input power source. The input power source is routed thru the

Power Entry Module Assembly (XF1) before being applied to the Power Supply Assembly. The Power Entry Module

Assembly allows the user to select between the two operational voltage ranges that can be accepted by the Power

Supply Assembly. This Switching Power Supply provides the Model 8310 with +15 ±0.25 V @ 3.3 A outputs. These outputs are then routed to the Programmable Interface Assembly for distribution to the other assemblies located in the

Model 8310. Drawing 193-8040 & 193-8087 shows the actual power distribution for all assemblies and modules located in the 8310.

6-2. STATUS DISPLAYS AND SWITCH CONTROL ASSEMBLY. This assembly located behind the front panel contains a group of LED’s that indicates the status of bus operation and channel/port selection . The Switch/LED

Status PCB Assembly contains control switches which are used to set the GPIB address information, selected desired port/channel, select the mode of operation (Local or Remote) and manually control and enter parameters for devices installed in the Model 8310. These control switches operate in a toggle fashion, i.e., push for ON and push for OFF.

Refer to Section 5 for an operational description of each LED and switch located on the front panel.

6-3. DIGITAL INTERFACE ASSEMBLY: This assembly is responsible for programming and control of the Driver PCB

Assembly, GPIB bus operation, and front panel Switch/LED control. The Digital Interface Assembly provides a highlevel interface from a standard communications interface including GPIB (IEEE-488) and RS-232/RS-422/RS485, to the 8310’s serial Driver Interface Bus. The Device Interface Bus (DIB) is a system for connecting a number of relatively low-speed I/O devices to a host, providing a simple, uniform, and inexpensive way to control a variety of devices via a single port. The DIB is based on the two-wire I 2 C serial bus and several software protocol layers that allow the Programmable Interface Assembly to address the internal devices, with serial data rates of up to 100 KHz.

The DIB may also be used to supply DC power to other devices that may be installed in custom applications, resulting in a simple, low-cost interconnection system.

Aeroflex / Weinschel 26

Model 8310 IM-289A

6-4. RF SECTION: Most Standard 8310 Series are single channel configurations where RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted Ports A & B connector (Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear) to a single or multiple Weinschel programmable attenuators (3200T, 150T, or 4200 Series) thus creating CH1 (Channel 1). Note that when a Port is in use the Port indicator will be illuminated. Dual channel units typically use Ports A and B for CH1 and Ports C and D for CH2 (Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear for CH1 and Ports B-B for CH2). Multi-channel

(3-4) units are generally routed front to rear and configured as follows:

CH1 Port A (Front) to Port A (Rear)

CH2 Port B (Front) to Port B (Rear)

CH3 Port C (Front) to Port C (Rear)

CH4 Port D (Front) to Port D (Rear)

For specialized configurations refer to supplemental information in the front of this manual for details.

Typically Aeroflex / Weinschel programmable attenuators are bi-directional and the RF signal can be applied to either Port connector. Refer to the individual data sheets located in the Appendix C for detailed and specific specifications pertaining to the internal mounted attenuators. Refer to the replaceable parts list for actual programmable attenuator part/model number.

Special configurations exist where the RF section is designed to specific customer requirements which can contain signal programmable attenuators with custom attenuation ranges and step sizes to multiple programmables used in conjunction with other coaxial devices such as switches, power combiners, directional couplers, and filters creating single or multi-channel subsystems. All specialized 8310 series units will contain a supplement located in the front of this manual that outlines detailed configuration, operation and parts list for these Attenuator Units.

7. MAINTENANCE:

IM-289A

The following paragraphs provide general inspection and maintenance guide lines for the 8310 Series

Programmable Attenuator Units.

7-1. INSPECTION: Perform a visual inspection in conjunction with the maintenance activities schedule when a malfunction is suspected, or whenever an assembly is removed or replaced.

7-2. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: While the 8310 requires very little preventive maintenance, it should not be subjected to physical abuse, severe mechanical shock, high humidity, or operating temperatures outside the specification range. The instrument should be kept free of excessive dirt and dust, since these can interfere with connector functions and with normal heat dissipation. For cleaning instructions refer to paragraph 7-3 (special cleaning instructions). The following paragraphs provide the preventive maintenance that is to be performed on the

Unit.

Care should be taken to prevent strain on the interconnecting cables, since damage here may not always be apparent. Occasionally check the external cables and connectors for signs of cracked insulation and/or bent or worn pins. Tests show that connectors must be clean for accuracy and stability. This requires an inspection and cleaning of each connector immediately before use. For connector cleaning instructions, refer to paragraph 4-3. When cleaning precautions are observed regularly, connectors can maintain their stability for over several thousand connection cycles. Refer to Appendix A for more information about cables and connectors.

7-3. SPECIAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: The cleaning procedures for 8310 are divided into five general groups: microwave coaxial cable assemblies, circuit card and modules; machined surfaces and hardware, chassis cleaning, and connector cleaning.

7-3.1. MICROWAVE COAXIAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES: Appendix A (located at the end of this manual) provides all the necessary procedures for care, cleaning, and handling of microwave coaxial cable assemblies.

7-3.2 CIRCUIT CARDS AND MODULES: A protective coating is applied to circuit cards for protection from moisture, arcing, short-circuiting, and abrasion. To remove light dirt from circuit cards and modules proceed as follows:

CAUTION

• DO NOT use a nylon bristle brush in the solvent as the bristles may dissolve and cause damage to the circuit card or component.

• DO NOT use ultrasonic cleaning on parts or assemblies containing electrical or electronic components.

• DO NOT bend pins of electrical connectors when using fiber-bristle brush. a. Briskly brush isopropyl alcohol onto area to be cleaned with fiber-bristle brush. b. Carefully remove residue with a clean lint-free cloth and repeat step "a" as a rinse.

WARNING

Compressed air used for cleaning and/or drying can create airborne particles that may enter the eye. Goggles/ faceshields should be worn. DO NOT direct air stream towards self or other personnel. Pressure should be restricted to a maximum 15 psi to avoid personal injury. c. When parts are thoroughly clean, dry parts using 5 psi of clean moisture free compressed air or preferably dry nitrogen (pressurized spray will work well).

Aeroflex / Weinschel 28

Model 8310 IM-289A

7-3.3 MACHINED SURFACES AND HARDWARE: To remove light dirt and dust from mechanical parts such as castings, covers and other hardware proceed as follows:

WARNING

CAUTION

• Under no circumstances use a wire brush, steel wool, or abrasive compound. Using these items will cause extensive damage to the instrument's surface.

• DO NOT use a nylon bristle brush in solvent as the bristles may dissolve and cause damage to the circuit card or component. a. Use 5 psi of clean, moisture-free compressed air or preferably dry nitrogen to blow loose dirt and dust from surface of item. b. Briskly brush isopropyl alcohol onto area to be cleaned with a fiber-bristle brush. c. Remove residue with lint-free cloth and repeat step "b" as a rinse. d. When parts are thoroughly clean, dry parts using 5 psi of clean, moisture-free compressed air or preferably dry nitrogen. e. Clean smaller mechanical parts or hardware by dipping into a container of isopropyl alcohol. Remove dirt by brushing with fiber-bristle brush after parts have been immersed for several hours. f. Remove parts from isopropyl alcohol and rinse by immersing into a different container of isopropyl alcohol. g. When parts are thoroughly cleaned, dry parts using 5 psi of clean, moisture-free compressed air or preferably dry nitrogen.

7-3.4 CHASSIS CLEANING: Clean chassis using a lint-free cloth moistened with water and mild detergent. For harder to clean areas, such as inside corners of chassis, use a vacuum cleaner.

7-3.5 CONNECTOR CLEANING: Where small amounts of rust, corrosion, and/or oxide deposits are present on connectors, clean externally with a soft-bristle brush, aluminum wool, or internally with an acid brush; then wash with a non-corrosive solvent. MIL-C-83112 is recommended. Exercise care to ensure no metal filing or residue remains inside the connector and the connector is thoroughly dry. Where rust, corrosion, and/or oxide deposits are present in large quantities, replace the connector.

APPENDIX A

CARE AND HANDLING OF MICROWAVE COAXIAL

CABLE ASSEMBLIES

A-1 CARE AND HANDLING OF ASSEMBLIES.

To en su re accur ate measu remen ts an d op timal performance of Weinschel products, the microwave coaxial cable assemblies used in system and test setups must be properly used and maintained. Proper connections, routine inspection of all cables, and cleaning of the connectors are extremely important procedures which can prolong the longevity and accuracy of equipment.

A-2 CABLE INSPECTION.

Routinely check external cables for signs of cracked insulation, dents, twists, flattening, signs of jacket abrasion, or other signs of abuse. Wrinkles in the jacket indicate that the minimum bend radius has been exceeded. Most often, this occurs near the marker tubes and connectors.

Also inspect the connector interfaces for the following:

•

Bent pins (male).

•

Bent or missing tines (female).

•

Worn or chipped plating.

•

Damaged or displaced dielectric inserts.

•

Thread damage.

•

Folded or mushroomed outer interface rims.

•

Mushroomed pin shoulders (male) or tine ends

(female).

•

Score lines on pins and outer interface rims visible to the unaided eye.

•

Recessed or protruding pins.

It is advisable to clean the connectors prior to inspection to make subtle damage more apparent. If any of the above is noted, replace the assembly before its further use results in equipment damage. Also inspect the mating connectors for similar damage.

Inspect the connector interface for signs of debris. Debris may be in the form of:

•

Plating chips or other metal particles.

•

Dust or dirt.

•

Oily films.

•

Other miscellaneous foreign particles.

If signs of debris are present, clean the connector interface as directed in Paragraph A-6.

A-3 MAKING INITIAL CONNECTIONS.

Exercise caution when mating cables. Poor connections lead to poor system performance. They can also damage not only the cable assembly, but more significantly, front or rear panel connectors on the equipment itself which may be more difficult to repair.

A-3.1

ALIGNING CONNECTORS.

Align the center lines of two connectors before actual mating. Male retaining nuts contain a small amount of necessary play which may make it possible to mate the threads without the pins being properly aligned. Pin misalignment can damage pins and dielectric inserts.

A-3.2

MATING CONNECTORS.

Gen t ly mate th e connectors by hand, taking care not to force the coupling nut at the slightest resistance. It is often possible to feel whether or not the pins are mated. If the coupling nut is difficult to turn, either the pins are not mated, the coupling nut is cross-threaded, or one of the connectors has been damaged by excess torque.

Never hold a male connector coupling nut stationary while screwing a female connector into it. This rotation can erode the plating and damage both the outer interface rim as well as the pin. If the pins become locked, serious damage can result to both the equipment and the cable assembly.

A-4 ENSURING PROPER CONNECTOR TORQUE.

A-4.1

OVERTORQUING.

Once connectors have been properly mated, apply only the proper amount of torque.

Overtorquing damages both connectors involved. Also, a connector which has been damaged by overtorquing, in turn, damages every connector to which it is subsequently mated.

It usually leads to poor system performance as well.

Overtorque can cause:

•

Bent pins.

•

Recessed or protruding pins.

•

Recessed or protruding dielectrics.

•

Chipped plating.

•

Damaged coupling threads.

•

Coupling nut retaining ring damage.

•

Mushroomed outer interface shells.

•

Mushroomed pin shoulders.

also causes overtorque.

A-4.3

KNURLED NUTS.

T ig h ten co nn ector s with knurled nuts by hand. If this does not provide sufficient tightness use a hex-nut connector and torque wrench instead.

Never use pliers to tighten a connector. Table A-1 recommends torque specifications for the various types of connectors.

To mate a connector of the hex-nut type, always use a torque wrench set to the correct torque value. Tighten the connector slowly until the wrench snaps. Tightening too quickly can cause the wrench to exceed its set limit. Do not snap the wrench more than once as this

A-5 PROPER CABLE HANDLING.

Never exceed the minimum bend radius specified for a cable. Guard against tight bends at the end of connector strain relief tubing, or at the ends of marker tubing where they may be less noticeable. Although cable bend may seem slight, the actual radius of the bend at the point of angular departure may be far smaller than the acceptable radius.

Never pinch, crush or drop objects on cable assemblies.

Also, do not drag a cable over sharp edges as this will pinch it and cause it to exceed the minimum bend radius.

Never use a cable assembly to pull a piece of equipment.

Cables and connectors are not designed to support or move equipment.

A-5.1

SECURING CABLES.

Use toothed, rubber-lined

"P-clamps" to hold cables in place. If it is necessary to use tie-wraps, use the widest possible wrap and the lowest setting on the gun to ensure the minimum pressure on the cable.

A-5.2

STORING CABLES.

W he n st or ing cab les, minimize cable "set" by coiling them in large diameters (1 or

2 feet). Unroll the cable properly when it is ready to be used; do not pull the loops out hastily. Similarly, re-roll them when storing them away again.

A-6 CLEANING CONNECTOR INTERFACES.

Use the following guidelines in cleaning connector interfaces: a. Do not use chlorinated solvents including common tap water. These solvents are extremely penetrating and sometimes ruin otherwise good devices and assemblies.

b. Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Roll the swab on a paper towel to remove excess. c. Use the moistened cotton swab to wipe away debris.

Do not try to dissolve the debris by overwetting the swab.

d. Repeat the cleaning process using additional swabs as necessary. If metallic particles are embedded in the dielectric, use an eyeglass and a sharp pick in an attempt to dislodge them. Swab again. e. When satisfied that the interfaces are clean, blow them dry with dry compressed air, or preferably dry nitrogen

(pressurized spray cans work well). Do not use breath. f. Clean the mating connectors. These may be the source of the debris.
