Keysight Second Source, Combiner, and Mechanical Swithces Upgrade Kit
Keysight Kit Number: N5242-60102
Installation Note

Description of the Upgrade

This upgrade converts your Option 219 2-port analyzer (with configurable test

set, extended power range, and bias tees) to an Option 224 analyzer by

adding:

— a second source
— source outputs routed to the front panel
— source outputs routed to the rear panel
— a mechanical switch to each source port channel
— a source combiner to the port 1 channel
— rear-panel test set inputs

This upgrade kit is only for analyzers with serial numbers prefixed

MY/SG/US5150 and below. If the serial number prefix of your analyzer is

above this number, do NOT proceed with the upgrade. Analyzers with

serial numbers prefixed MY/SG/US5150 and below were manufactured

prior to February 2012, and have a older chassis style that requires older

synthesizer boards (included in this kit) without screw tabs. For more

information on part numbers, refer to Chapter 6 in the Service Guide. See

“Downloading the Online PNA Service Guide” on page 6
