Technologies sales office.
If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs
of stress, notify the carrier as well as your Agilent Technologies sales office.
Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection. The Agilent office
will arrange for replacement of the N1022A at Agilent’s option without
waiting for claim settlement.
Connecting the N1022A
CAUTION When using the N1022A, always work at a static-safe work station and wear a
wrist-strap or heel-strap. Refer to “Static-Safe Workstation” on page 8.
Electrical channel input circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Therefore, avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel input
connectors. Avoid touching the front-panel input connectors without first
touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure that the instrument is properly
earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge.
1 Connect the N1022A probe adapter to the module’s electrical input connector.
This requires holding the N1022A connector steady while turning the module’s
input connector. This action threads the module’s connector into the N1022A’s
connector. Torque the connection to 8 in-lbs. An 8 in-lbs torque wrench is
available from Agilent. Order part number 8710-1764.
CAUTION To ensure a good connection and to avoid damaging the connectors, tighten the
connection to 8 in-lbs of torque. After the adapter is connected, do not allow
the adapter to rotate on the front-panel connection. For more information on
caring for precision electrical connectors, refer to the online help that is
accessed from the 86100B Infiniium DCA’s menu bar.
2 Connect the probe adapter’s power connector to the module’s front-panel
Probe Power connector for the associated channel. Do not make the
connection to any Aux Power connector, if one is present on the module’s front
Using modules with 2.4 mm electrical input
The N1022A can be directly connected to any 86100-series or 83480-series with a
3.5 mm electrical channel input. You can also connect the probe adapter to a module
with 2.4 mm electrical input. However, in order to connect to a 2.4 mm input, you must
use a 2.4
mm(F) - 3.5 mm (M) adapter, Agilent part number 85130-60010.
