Calibration and Verification

Anritsu recommends annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu 
service centers. The Cable and Antenna Analyzer mode requires calibration standards for 
OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD (OSL) or InstaCal module, which are sold separately. 

The Site Master is self-calibrating and there are no field-adjustable components. The OSL 
calibration components are crucial to the integrity of the calibration. As a result, they must be 
verified periodically to ensure performance conformity. This is especially important if the 
OSL calibration components have been accidentally dropped or over-torqued.
Contact information for Anritsu Service Centers is available at:
