PRE-OPERATION OVERVIEW
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual contains information for R8100 Series Communications System Analyzer. The R8100
incorporates many devices and functions, permitting a technician to completely monitor and service radio
communications equipment in the shop and in the field.
1.2 SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and
repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or warnings violates safety standards
of design, manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Freedom Communication Technologies
assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
The safety precautions and warnings listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Freedom
Communication Technologies is aware. You as the user of the product should follow these warnings and
all other safety precautions necessary for the safe operation of the equipment in your operating
environment.
1.2.1 Analyzer Grounding
The R8100 is powered by a provided AC to DC converter connected to a grounded 3 wire AC outlet. The
negative (or “-“) output of the converter is internally connected to AC ground. Since the R8100 uses the
converter’s DC negative as system ground the analyzer is also connected to AC ground at the power outlet.
As a result most of the external connectors on the R8100 chassis are also at AC ground potential.
Warning: To minimize shock hazard it is critical to operate the R8100 with the provided converter and
three wire AC power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical
outlet.
If the unit is not operated from a properly grounded AC power source, any voltage potential
between it and earth ground may cause an electrical shock.
1.2.2 Unit is Live When Plugged In or when Battery is Installed
Internal circuits are live when the DC power cable is plugged in even when the R8100 has been placed in
a non-operating mode using the front panel Power switch. To completely remove power from the analyzer
internal circuits disconnect the DC power plug and remove the battery. Do not position the equipment
such that it is difficult to remove the DC power plug.
1.2.3 Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory and Authorized Service Personnel
may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly, component replacement, or any internal
adjustment. Disconnect Analyzer from all voltage sources before removing covers for adjustments,
maintenance or repairs. Capacitors inside may still be charged even if the Analyzer is disconnected from
the voltage source.
1.2.4 Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
