Preparation for Use
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the 16117B Low Noise T
est Lead. The topics covered
include initial inspection, ambient environmental considerations, connecting the adapter for
use
, and repackaging the adapter for shipment.
Initial Inspection
The adapter has been carefully inspected electrically and mechanically before being shipped
from the factory
.It should be in perfect physical condition, no scratches
,dents or the like
,and
it should be in perfect electrical condition. V
erify this by carefully performing an incoming
inspection to check the adapter for signs of physical damage and missing contents
.If any
discrepancy is found, notify the carrier and Agilent T
echnologies .Y
our Agilent T
echnologies
sales oce will arrange for repair and replacement without waiting for the claim to be settled.
1. Inspect the shipping container for damage
,and keep the shipping materials until the
incoming inspection is completed.
2. V
erify that the shipping container contains everything shown in Figure 2-1 and listed in
T
able 2-1.
3. Inspect the exterior of the 16117B for any signs of damage
.
