Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or ship-
ped at a later date, you can use the material to prevent control elements and connec-
tors from being damaged.
1.3.2 Setting up the Analyzer
The network analyzer is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a
bench top or in a rack. The general ambient conditions required at the operating site
are as follows:
●
The ambient temperature must be in the ranges specified for operation and for
compliance with specifications (see data sheet).
●
All fan openings including the rear panel perforations must be unobstructed. The
distance to the wall should be at least 10 cm.
Electrostatic discharge
To avoid damage of electronic components of the DUT and the analyzer, the operating
site must be protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is most likely to
occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT or test fixture to the analyzer's test ports.
To prevent ESD damage use the wrist strap and grounding cord supplied with the
instrument and connect yourself to the GND connector at the front panel.
1.3.3 Bench Top Operation
If the analyzer is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat. The instrument
can be used in horizontal position, standing on its feet.
1.3.4 Operation in a 19" Rack
Using the adapter R&S ZZA-611 (order number 1096.3302.00) the instrument can be
mounted in 19" racks according to the mounting instructions supplied with the rack
adapter.
Avoid overheating
●
Allow for sufficient air supply in the rack.
●
Make sure that there is sufficient space between the ventilation holes and the rack
casing.
