Connections
3. Release pressure on the center conductor and mate the outer conductor of the sliding
load with the outer conductor of the cable/test port connector. Torque the connection
with a 3/4 inch torque wrench to approximately 135 N-cm (12 in-lb). Refer to “Final
Connection Using a Torque Wrench” on page 3-16 for additional information.
4. Retighten the center conductor pull-back nut. It will “click” when it is tight.

How to Separate a Connection
To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the
devices and connections.
CAUTION Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center
conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
1. Use an open-end wrench to prevent the device body from turning.
2. Use another open-end wrench to loosen the connector nut.
3. Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connector nut.
4. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending either of the
connectors.
