Safety Earth This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing terminal). An uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the Ground main power source to the product input wiring terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord set. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the product must be made inoperative and secured against any unintended operation. Before Applying Power Verify that the product is configured to match the available main

Overview Description Agilent 281 adapters provide a convenient means of coupling between waveguide and coaxial systems. Power can be transmitted in either direction, and each adapter covers the full frequency range of its waveguide size with an SWR of less than 1.30. The flanges are lapped to a slight, controlled convexity to assure minimum leakage at the waveguide joint. A probe transforms the waveguide impedance to the 50-ohm impedance of coaxial line. Complete specifications for the ada

Inspection and Shipping Inspection and Shipping Inspection Mechanical Check If external damage to the shipping carton is evident, the carrier’s agent should be present when the adapter is unpacked. Check the adapter for external damage. If damage is evident, refer to Claims, below, for recommended claim procedure. If the shipping carton is not damaged, check the packaging material for signs of stress that indicate rough handling in transit. If the adapter appears undamaged, perform the elec

Inspection and Shipping 3. Use enough shock-absorbing material (3 to 4-inch layer) around all sides of the adapter to provide firm cushion and prevent movement inside the container. 4. Seal the shipping container securely 5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to assure careful handling. 4 281A/B Adapters Operating and Service Manual

Operation Operation Protest Flanges Care should be taken to protect the face of the flange from any damage that would prevent close surface-to-surface contact. Any burring, denting, or scratching will increases RF leakage and the reflection coefficient of the joint. The supplied plastic cover should be used to protect the flange when the adapter is not in use. Assemble Carefully When connecting an adapter to a waveguide. 1. Make sure the rectangular ports are oriented the same way (i.e., not

Operation Precision 7 mm Connectors Except for Option 13, the 281B model adapter has a APC-7 precision 7-mm coaxial connector. These connectors rely on uniform end-to end contact of both conductors for electrical continuity. Consequently, the condition of the contacting surfaces is critical: they should be kept clean and smooth. To prevent damage when the adapter is not in use, the connector’s threaded sleeve should be fully extended. Performance Test The maximum SWR for the Adapters are l

Replaceable Parts Replaceable Parts The 281A may be disassembled for part replacement, but the 281B should be returned to Agilent because liquid nitrogen and special wrenches and gauges are needed for assembly. The exploded view of Figure 3 gives information for ordering replacement parts and can be used as an assembly guide. To obtain a replacement part give the adapter’s full model number and the part number from Table 2, and address the order to the nearest Agilent Technologies office. F
