27

Front Panel Power Switch

If the equipment is in the standby state, the front power switch of this equipment turns
on the power when it is pressed.
If the switch is pressed continuously for about 1 second in the power off state, the
equipment enters the standby state to prevent malfunction caused by accidental
touching.

In the power on state, if the power plug is removed from the outlet, then reinserted, the
power will not be turned on. Also, if the line is disconnected due to momentary power
supply interruption or power failure, the power will not be turned on even when power is
restored.

This is to prevent incorrect data from being acquired when the line is disconnected and
reconnected.

For example, if the sweep is 1,000 seconds and data acquisition requires a long time,
momentary power supply interruption (power failure) might occur during measurement
and the line could be recovered automatically to power on. In such a case, the
equipment may mistake incorrect data for correct data without recognizing the
momentary power supply interruption.

If this equipment enters the standby state due to momentary power supply interruption or
power failure, check the state of the measuring system and press the front power switch
to restore power to this equipment.

Further, if this equipment is built into a system and the system power has to be
disconnected then reconnected, the power for this equipment must also be restored by
pressing the front power switch.

SECTION 2 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE

Replacing Fuse

WARNING

 If the fuses are replaced while power is supplied, there is a serious risk of electric

shock. Before replacing the fuses, set the power switch to OFF and remove the power
cord from the power outlet.

 If power is supplied without protective grounding, there is a risk of accidental electric

shock. In addition, if the AC power supply voltage is excessive, there is a risk of the
internal circuits of the equipment being damaged by the abnormal voltage. Before
supplying power again after changing the fuses, check that the protective grounding
described previously in still connected, and checks that the AC power supply voltage
is suitable. Then, set the power switch to ON.

CAUTION

When there are no supplied spare fuses, the replacement fuses must have the same
voltage and current rating as specified.

 If the replacement fuses are not of the same type, they may not fit correctly, there

may be a faulty connection, or the time for the fuses to blow may be too long.

 If the voltage and current rating of the fuses is incorrect, the fuse may not blow

causing damage to the equipment.

Occupied Bandwidth Measurement

Locate the occupied bandwidth of the signal being displayed on the screen.

The results are shown in the marker display area for the occupied bandwidth (OBW), the

occupied band carrier frequency (Fc), and the band center frequency.

The equipment has an OBW function that can be calculated from the measurement data

displayed on the screen. It works by finding the frequency band that contains a specified

percentage of the total power. The default value is 98%, and measurement range between

5% and 100% can be specified.

OBW Measurement Procedure

(1) Set the center frequency & normal marker to the known carrier frequency and set the

frequency, span, resolution bandwidth (RBW), and sweep time to AUTO.

(2) Calculate the Occupied Bandwidth by performing the following key operations :
