HP 85130F Adapter Kit

To obtain optimum performance from this adapter kit, observe these simple precautions:

l

Make connections carefully to avoid misalignment and connector damage, which will result in
inaccurate measurements.

l

Keep the connectors free of dirt and any particles.

l

When you clean the connectors, try compressed air first. Do not use abrasives. With a clean foam
swab, apply

l

For more information, refer to the Microwave Connector Care manual.

The HP 85130F adapter kit consists of two NMD-2.4 mm to 3.5 mm adapters and a spanner wrench.
The test set end of the adapters has a NMD-2.4 mm connector while the Device Under Test (DUT) end
has a precision connector. The NMD-2.4 mm to NMD-3.5 mm (m) adapter is used when a male test
port is required. The NMD-3.5 mm to PSC-3.5
female test port is required.

Using an HP 8510 Network Analyzer perform the following test on your adapters as soon as you
receive them, and periodically repeat the test to determine if their performance meets the electrical
specifications stated above or if they need to be replaced. An initial period of one year between
performance tests is recommended.
