RF Spectrum Analyzers
INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
1.DC POWER
DC power to operate and/or recharge the instrument is connected via a 1.3mm power socket .
INPUT*
CAUTION
The adaptor/charger supplied has a universal input voltage rating of 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. It
is a Class II (double insulated) device, fully approved to EN 60950-1 and UL 60950-1 (UL listing E245390).
Use ONLY the power-supply/charger provided by Aim-TTi with the unit. Use of any other power source
will void the warranty.
2.RF SIGNAL
The signal to be measured is connected via a standard N connector. The input impedance is 50 Ohms.
INPUT
CAUTION
PSA3605/6005- The maximum useable signal input is +20dBm or +127 dBuV. The absolute
maximum signal input level is +25dBm or +132dBuV of RF power (approximately 4 volts RMS), or 50V DC.
PSA1303/2703- The maximum useable signal input is +10dBm or +117 dBuV. The absolute maximum
signal input level is +23dBm or +130dBuV of RF power or 50V DC. Applying a signal above this level could
damage the unit and such damage would not be covered by the product warranty.
3.DEMODULATED
Demodulated audio (when in Zero Span Mode) is available via the built-in speaker, the signal is also
AUDIO OUTPUT
provided via a 3.5mm stereo jack socket. Maximum power output is 30 milliwatts into 32 Ohms.
4.USB HOST
For USB Flash Memory.
5.USB MINI-B
For connection to a PC.
6.TRIGGER
A 3.5mm mono jack socket is mounted at the top of the instrument for trigger signals.
INPUT/OUTPUT
This has no function unless option U01/U02 is fitted. An adaptor is provided
that converts from the jack socket to a standard BNC connector.
BATTERY OPERATION
NOTE
As supplied, the internal battery is likely to be partially charged. The instrument should
therefore be plugged into its charger for at least two hours before first use.
