1. If the R&S
SMCV100B is switched on, deactivate the RF output, before con-
necting an RF cable to the "RF 50
Ω
" connector.
In the block diagram, select the block "RF" > "RF Level" > "RF ON > Off".
2. Use a high-quality RF cable that matches the RF connector type.

► To connect the RF cable with the ""RF 50
Ω
"" connector, proceed as follows:
a) Carefully align the connector of the cable and the ""RF 50
Ω
"" connector
along a common axis.
b) Mate the connectors along the common axis until the male pin of the con-
nector of the cable engages with the female socket of the ""RF 50
Ω
"" con-
nector.
Preventing RF output switch-off
►
NOTICE!
If you set a too high output level, the reverse power can exceed a
limit forcing the R&S
SMCV100B to switch off the RF output.
Set an RF output level that is not higher than the maximum permissible RF
power as given in the data sheet.
