Antenna: Testing and Inspection

GLASS PRINTED ANTENNA INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTE:
- When cleaning the glass, use soft dry cloth, and wipe the glass in the direction of the wire.
Take care not to damage the wires.
- Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive ingredients.





NOTE: In order not to damage the glass printed antenna, wrap up the tip of the tester stick with aluminum foil as shown in the illustration and check by holding the aluminum foil with a finger.




By placing and moving the tester stick along the glass printed antenna, check if continuity exists.





HINT: Matching module is built in the bus bar of the glass printed antenna (main terminal side) of CAMRY and no continuity exists between the terminal and the antenna. Therefore, for the continuity checking of the glass printed antenna on the main antenna side of CAMRY, place one probe of the tester on the position beside the bus bar (position shown in the illustration) and check by making the other probe of the tester move along.
