Safety-2 PN: 10580-00251 Rev. B Spectrum Master User Guide

For Safety

Warning Always refer to the operation manual when working near locations at

which the alert mark, shown on the left, is attached. If the operation,

etc., is performed without heeding the advice in the operationmanual, there is a risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment

performance may be reduced. Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes

used with other marks and descriptions indicating other dangers.

Warning

When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory

3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded

3-pin outlet is not available, use a conversion adapter and ground thegreen wire, or connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the

equipment to ground. If power is supplied without grounding the

equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.

Warning

This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to

remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal

components. Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of

electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment.

There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of

severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained personnel. In

addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.

Caution

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive

circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices

are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instruments front

and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument

and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband.

Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static chargeby touching the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before

touching the instruments front and rear panel ports and connectors.

Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are

properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static

discharge.

Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostaticdischarge is not covered under warranty.

1-12 ESD Caution

The Spectr um Mast er, like oth er high perform an ce inst ru men ts, is susceptible to electr osta tic

discha rge ( ESD) dam age. Coaxial cables an d an ten na s often build up a sta tic cha rge, which

(if allowed to discha rge by conn ectin g directly to th e Spectrum Mast er with out discha rging

th e stat ic char ge) may damage th e Spectr um Master input circuitry. Spectru m Mast er

opera tors mu st be awar e of th e poten tial for E SD dam age and t ak e all necessary precaut ions.

Operat ors sh ould exercise practices out lined within indu str y sta nda rds such as J EDE C-625

(EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MI L-STD-1686, which per ta in t o ES D an d ES DS devices,

equipment , and pr actices. Becau se th ese apply to the Spectru m Ma ster , it is recomm ended

th at an y stat ic cha rges th at ma y be present be dissipated before conn ecting coaxial cables or

ant ennas to the Spectr um Master. This may be as simple as tem pora rily att aching a short or

load device to th e cable or a nt enna prior to at ta ching to the Spectr um Mast er. It is importa nt

to remember tha t t he operator ma y also carr y a sta tic char ge th at can cause dam age.

Following the pr actices out lined in th e above sta nda rds will ensur e a sa fe environm ent for

both personnel a nd equipment.

1-13 Battery Replacement

The bat ter y can be replaced without t he u se of tools. The bat ter y compa rt men t is locat ed on

th e lower left side of th e instr um ent (when you ar e facing the mea sur ement display). To

remove the bat tery:

1. Slide th e cat ch toward t he bott om of th e inst ru men t

2. Pu ll the top of th e door a way from t he un it

3. Lift out t he bat ter y door.

4. Remove the batt ery pack from t he instr umen t by grabbing the bat tery lanyard a ndpulling out .

Replacemen t is t he opposite of rem oval. The ba tt ery key side (slot below the cont acts) should

be facing the front on t he u nit a nd slide in first .

Note

When inserting the battery the battery label should face the back of the instrument

and the guide slot on the battery should be below the contacts. If the battery door

does not latch closed, the battery may be inserted incorrectly.
