2. Check the equipment for completeness using the delivery note and the accessory
lists for the various items.
3. Remove the protective cap from the test port adapter at the front of the instrument.
4. Carefully inspect the frequency converter for any damages during shipment.
If you notice any damage, immediately contact the carrier who delivered the instru-
ment.
Risk of damaging waveguide flanges
The waveguide flanges of the converter and of the test port adapters must be protec-
ted against mechanical damage. Furthermore the waveguides must be shielded from
dust.
Protect the waveguide flange of the converter by leaving a test port adapter mounted.
When the converter is not in use, attach one of the included protective caps to the
adapter. Also attach protective caps to the second test port adapter.
Retain the wooden box and use it to store the converter and its accessories while not
in use. In particular, use the box if the converter needs to be transported or shipped,
e.g. if returned or sent in for repair.
2.4.2 Setting Up the Converter
The frequency converter is designed for use under laboratory conditions. 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 ventilation openings must be unobstructed.
Risk of instrument and DUT damage
To avoid damage of electronic components of the DUT and the frequency converter,
the operating site must be protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
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 front panel of the ana-
lyzer. For details, refer to the Getting Started guide of your analyzer.
2.4.3 Adjusting the Feet of the Instrument
For benchtop operation, the converter can be used with three or four feet attached to
the bottom side. Preferably use three feet: two in the front and one in the middle of the
