4. Carefully unthread the cardboard cover at the front that protects the unit handles
and remove it.
5. Check the unit for damage. If you notice any damage, immediately contact the car-
rier who delivered the unit. In this case, make sure not to discard the box and pack-
ing material.
Packing material
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 protect the control elements and con-
nectors.
3.4.2 Instrument Setup
The extension unit 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 extension unit, the
operating site must be protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is most
likely to occur when you connect or disconnect the extension unit's test ports.
To prevent ESD damage use the wrist strap and grounding cord supplied with the net-
work analyzer and connect yourself to the GND connector at the analyzer's front panel.
For additional information refer to the "Instructions for Electrostatic Discharge Protec-
tion" on the analyzer's documentation CD-ROM.
3.4.3 Bench Top Operation
If the extension unit is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat.
Stacked Mounting
The R&S ZVAX-TRM is intended to be mounted underneath a R&S ZVA/ZVT. For this
reason the extension unit is delivered with adapters for mechanical fixation, including
longer screws (with washers). The adapters requires mounted front handles on both
the R&S
ZVA/ZVT and the R&S ZVAX-TRM.
