Installation
The instructions in this chapter show you how to i nst all the 86030A 50 GHz
LCA. For overseas sales, the product is shipped without an ac power connector. You should have a local electrician provide and install an ac connector that
meets the stand ards for the region. Al so, be sure to set all i nstruments to use
the local line vo ltage.
WARNI NG This system is a Safety Class I Product (provided with a protective
earthing ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall
only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any int erruption of the protective conduc tor inside or
outside of the produc t is likely to make the product dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
WARNI NG To prevent electric shoc k, disconnect the system fro m mains before
cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean
the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
WARNI NG HP/Agilent 86032A: No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not
remove covers.
WARNI NG HP/Agilent 86032A: For continued protection against fire hazard,
replace line fuse only with same type and ratings. Use a 6.3A 250V fuse.
The use of other fuses or materials is prohibited.
WARNI NG HP/Agilent 86032A and HP/Agile nt 86030A: If the syst em and t est set
products are not use d as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. These products must be use d i n a
normal condition (in w hich all means for protectio n are intact) only.
CAUTION Do not load any software on the 86030A system computer.

CAUTION HP/Agilent 86032A and HP/Ag i lent 86030A: This system and test set are
designed for use in INSTALLA TION CATEGORY II and POLLUTION DEGREE
2, per IEC 1010 and 664 respectively.
CAUTION HP/Agilent 86030A: Ventilation Requirements. When instal li ng the produ c t in
a cabinet, the con v ection into and out of t he product must not be restricted.
The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the
maximum operating temperature of the product by 4°C for every 100 watts
dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater
than 800 watts, then forced convection must be used.
CAUTION The warranty and ca l ibration will be voided on systems wh ere the individual
instruments, including fiber-optic cables, RF cables, or GPIB cables are
removed by the customer. The system should only be disassembled by an
Agilent Customer Engineer. Instruments should not be swapped or removed by
non-Agilent personnel.

Step 1. Prepare the Site
Step 1. Prepare the Site
Your site should accommodate the dimensions, weight s, and powe r cons umption limits shown in the following fig ure.
WARNI NG This system weighs approximately 600 lbs (270 kg). To avoid inj uries,
use proper moving equipment and use extreme car e when installing.
WARNI NG Install the system so the power cords are readily identifiable and are
easily reached by the operator. The power cords are the disconnecting
device. They disconnect the mains circuits from the mains supply

Installation
Step 1. Prepare the Site
before other parts of the system. Alternately, an externally installed
switch or circuit breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily
reached by the operator) may be used as a disconnecting device.
CAUTION HP/Agilent 86030A and HP/Agi le nt 86032A: Install the system and tes t se t
according to the enclosure protection provided. This system and test set do not
protect against the ingre s s of water. The system and test set protects against
finger access to hazardous parts within the enclosure.
CAUTION Before switching on this system, make sure the line voltage selector switch on
the HP/Agilent 86032A lightwave test set’s rear panel is se t to the voltage o f the
mains supply, that the correc t fuse is instal led, and t hat the s upply v oltage is in
the specified range.

System Overview
Calibrated Measurements
One of the key benefits of the 50 GHz lightwave component analyzer is its ability to perform calibrated measurements of optical component s. The system
contains an O/E receiver that has been factory calibrated in magnit ude , and
characterized in phase. The ability to make calibrated measure men ts assures
accuracy , reliability, and confidence in the components being measured. Additionally, the laser source, optical modulator, and calibrated O/E receiver are
temperature stabilized which also improves the accuracy and repeatability of
measurements.
Verification Device
A verification device is included with the N1012A Lightwave Verification Kit.
The device is an O/E photodetector and includes associated amplitude and
phase data. You can use this verification device at any time to verify the measurement integrity of your system. The 86030A system provides a guided verification routine that measures the verific ati on de vice , and displ ays a graph of
its response versus acceptable tolerances. The verif icat ion device allows yo u
to periodically monitor system calibration, and detect when the optical test set
needs to be recalibrated. You can also use the device to resolve uncertainty if
unexpected results are obtained from a test device. This verification capability
provides confi dence in the measurem ent integrity of the sy stem.
Measurement Software
Guided measurement software provides an easy-to-use operator interface. It
provides pictorial diagrams of interconnections for configuration, calibration,
and measurements. On-screen prompts also guide you through the entire
measurement pr oc ess, from the calibra tion to the measure m ent.
Data Management
Display, analysis, and archiving of data is easy and straightforward with the
system. The measured data is displayed on the Agilent 8510C network analyzer. Full use of the analyzer’s func tions such as markers , data formats, and
data scaling features are available. Data can be archived to disk in either ASCII
text or Microsoft
1
Excel formats. The included Excel software allows data to
be displayed and analyzed using standard Excel features and formats. Data
connectivity to a local area network (LAN) is provided via a LAN card in the
system’s PC.

Fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty or damaged cables
and accessories. The 86030A’s front-panel SOURCE OUTPUT and RECEIVER INPUT con-
nectors, 86032A Laser Output and External Laser Input are no exception. When you use
improper cleaning and handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument repairs, damaged cables, and compromised measurements. Before you connect any electrical cable
to the 86030A, refer to “Electrostatic Discharge Information” on page 7-19.
