Safety-2 PN: 10580-00252 Rev. B Site Master User Guide

For Safety

Warning Always refer to the operation manual when working near locations at

which the alert mark, shown on the left, is attached. If the operation,

etc., is performed without heeding the advice in the operationmanual, there is a risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment

performance may be reduced. Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes

used with other marks and descriptions indicating other dangers.

Warning

When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory

3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded

3-pin outlet is not available, use a conversion adapter and ground thegreen wire, or connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the

equipment to ground. If power is supplied without grounding the

equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.

Warning

This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to

remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal

components. Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of

electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment.

There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of

severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained personnel. In

addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.

Caution

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive

circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices

are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instruments front

and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument

and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband.

Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static chargeby touching the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before

touching the instruments front and rear panel ports and connectors.

Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are

properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static

discharge.

Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostaticdischarge is not covered under warranty.

1-10 Preventive Maintenance

Site Mast er prevent ive main ten an ce consists of cleaning th e unit a nd inspecting and cleanin g

th e RF conn ectors on th e instr um ent a nd all accessories. Clean th e Site Master with a soft,

lint-free cloth dam pened with wat er or wat er an d a m ild cleaning solut ion.

Clean the RF connectors a nd cent er pins with a cotton swab dam pened with denatu red

alcohol. Visua lly ins pect t he conn ectors. Th e finger s of th e N(f) connectors a nd t he pin s of t he

N(m) conn ectors sh ould be unbr oken a nd u niform in appea ra nce. If you a re u nsu re whet her

th e conn ectors ar e unda ma ged, gauge th e conn ectors to confirm th at th e dimensions a re

correct.

Visually inspect th e test port cable(s). The t est port cable should be uniform in appea ra nce,

an d not str etched, kinked, dented, or broken.

1-11 Calibration Requirements

Anr itsu recomm ends a nn ua l calibrat ion a nd per form an ce verificat ion by local Anritsuservice cent ers. The Cable and Antenn a Analyzer mode requir es calibrat ion sta nda rds for

OPE N, SHORT, an d LOAD (OSL) or I nst aCa l module, which a re sold separa tely.

1-12 Annual Verification

Anr itsu r ecomm ends a n a nn ua l calibrat ion a nd perform an ce verificat ion of th e Site Mast er

an d th e OSL calibrat ion component s an d Inst aCa l module by local Anritsu service cent ers.

The Site Ma ster is self-calibrat ing an d th ere a re n o field-adjust able component s. The OSL

calibrat ion component s ar e cru cial to the int egrity of the calibra tion. As a result , they mu st be

verified per iodically to ensu re per form an ce conformit y. This is especially import an t if theOSL calibration components have been accidentally dropped or over-torqued.

General Information 1-13 ESD Caution


1-13 ESD Caution

The Site Mast er, like oth er high perform an ce instr um ent s, is susceptible to electr osta tic

discha rge ( ES D) dam age. Coaxial cables an d an ten na s often build up a st at ic cha rge, which

(if allowed to discha rge by conn ecting directly to the Site Ma ster without discha rging th e

stat ic char ge) may dama ge the Site Master input circuitry. Site Master operat ors m ust be

awa re of th e poten tial for E SD dama ge an d ta ke all necessar y precau tions.

Operat ors should exercise practices out lined within indu str y sta nda rds su ch as J EDE C-625

(EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MI L-STD-1686, which per ta in t o ES D an d ESDS devices,

equipment , an d practices. Becau se these apply to th e Site Master, it is recomm ended th at an y

sta tic cha rges th at ma y be present be dissipat ed before conn ecting coaxial cables or a nt enna s

to the Site Mas ter . This may be as simple as tem pora rily att aching a short or load device to

the cable or a nt enna prior t o atta ching to the Site Master. It is importa nt to remember tha t

th e opera tor ma y also car ry a st at ic cha rge th at can cau se dama ge. Following the pra ctices

out lined in t he above sta nda rds will ensu re a sa fe environm ent for both personnel an d

equipment.

1-14 Battery Replacement

The bat ter y can be replaced without t he u se of tools. The bat ter y compa rt ment is locat ed on

measurement display is turned on, files will be saved as Filename_1 and

Filename_2.

and only supports 137, 275, 551 data points. 1102 and 2204 data points are not

supported in the .DAT file format. Use the .VNA file format if these resolutions are

required.

.DAT files cannot be recalled to the instrument for viewing. If this is required, use
