failed

power sensor. If no error message is displayed, but a problem occurs

when making a measurement, try replacing the cable from the power meter to
the power sensor. If the problem still exists, try using a different power sensor
to determine if the problem is in the power meter or in the power sensor.

Repair of Defective Sensor

There are no serviceable parts inside the E44XX- Series sensors. If the sensor
is defective, replace the entire “module” with the appropriate “Restored
sensor Module.” See

Table 6

Cleaning

Cleaning Solutions

Keeping in mind its flammable nature; a solution of pure isopropyl or ethyl
alcohol can be used to clean the connector.

Connector Cleaning

C A U T I O N

Electrostatic discharge will render the power sensor inoperative. Do not, under any
circumstances, open the power sensor unless you and the power sensor are in a static
free environment.

C A U T I O N

The RF connector beads deteriorate when contacted by hydrocarbon compounds such
as acetone, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and benzene.

C A U T I O N

Clean the connector only at a static free workstation. Electrostatic discharge to the
center pin of the connector will render the power sensor inoperative.
