Connecting the Converter to the DC Supply

An external DC power supply and several plug adapters are provided with the instru-
ment. Select the appropriate adapter and attach it to the power supply. To remove a
mounted adapter, press the small button next to the adapter and push the adapter
away from the button.

Connect the power supply to the "9 V / MAX. 1.1 A DC" input on the rear panel (see

Chapter 2.3.2, "Power Supply Connector"

on page 9) and to a power outlet. The

power supply supports input AC voltages between 100 V and 240 V and frequencies
between 47 Hz and 63 Hz.

A lit LED next to the standby switch indicates that the power supply operates appropri-
ately. If neither of the two LEDs is lit, check the fuse of the instrument (see 

Chap-

ter 2.4.9, "Replacing Fuses"

on page 16).

R&S

 

ZVA-Z500 converters

The external DC power supply units of R&S

 

ZVA-Z500 converters support higher out-

put powers; the DC input connector at the rear panel is labeled "9 V / MAX 1.6 A".
Always use the DC power supply delivered with your frequency converter.

2.4.7

 

Switching On the Instrument

The standby toggle switch is at the rear panel (see 

Chapter 2.3.1, "Standby Switch"

,

on page 8). To switch the instrument to ready state, press the key. The green LED next
to the switch must be lit now.
