Installation at a Glance
Installation at a Glance
The procedures in this book provide step-by-step instructions for installing
the HP 8702D.
Be sure to verify the HP 8702D’s performance
Chapter 2, “Automated Verification”, Chapter 3, “Manual Verification”, and
Chapter 4, “Performance Tests” provide verification procedures and perfor-
mance tests. Verification procedures are intended to provide a high level of
confidence that the instrument is operating properly. Two versions of verification procedures are provided: automated and manual. The performance tests,
along with the verification tests, provide the same quality of performance testing that is done at the factory. Chapter 5, “Automated Verification – Option
011” and Chapter 6, “Performance Tests – Option 011” provide verification
procedures and performance tests for the HP 8702D Option 011.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you verify your analyzer measurement system every six months. Hewlett-Packard also suggests that you get your verification kit recertified annually. Refer to
Operating and Service Manual
HP 85029B 7 mm Verification Kit
for more information.
These system verification procedures do not apply to analyzers with Option 075 (75 ohm
analyzers).

WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the
product is likely to make the product dangerous. Intentional
interruption is prohibited.
This product has autoranging line voltage input. Be sure the supply voltage is
within the specified range.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the 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.
This product is designed for use in INSTALLATION CATEGORY II and
POLLUTION DEGREE 2, per IEC 1010 and 664 respectively.

Step 1. Inspect the Shipment
Step 1. Inspect the Shipment
1
Verify that all components ordered have arrived by comparing the shipping
forms to the original purchase order. Inspect all shipping containers.
If your shipment is damaged or incomplete, save the packing materials and notify both the shipping carrier and the nearest Hewlett-Packard sales and service office. HP will arrange for repair or replacement of damaged or incomplete
shipments without waiting for a settlement from the transportation company.
Notify the HP customer engineer of any problems.
WARNING
The HP 8702D weighs approximately 75 pounds (34 kilograms). Use
correct lifting techniques.
The PORT 1 connector moves.
This is
accessories can be more easily connected to the instrument.

Step 2. Set up Static-Safe Workstation
Step 2. Set up Static-Safe Workstation
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy the input circuits of the
HP 8702D. ESD can also damage or destroy electronic components that you
are measuring. All work should be performed at a static-safe work station. The
following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station (without the
instrument) using two types of ESD protection:
• Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
• Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination.
1-5
Installing the HP 8702D
Step 2. Set up Static-Safe Workstation
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection.
Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate
ESD protection when used alone.
To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of
isolation from ground. Refer to Table 1-1 for information on ordering staticsafe accessories.
WARNING
These techniques for a static-safe work station should not be used
when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500
volts.
Reducing ESD Damage
The following suggestions may help reduce ESD damage that occurs during
testing and servicing operations.
• Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before removing any assembly from the unit.
• Be sure all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent a buildup of
static charge.

1
Locate the line-input connector on the instrument’s rear panel.
2
Disconnect the line-power cable if it is connected.
3
Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to open the pull-out fuse drawer.
WARNING
The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain
live for 10 seconds after you disconnect the cord from the power
supply.
Figure 1-3. Line Fuse Removal and Replacement
4
Verify that the value of the line-voltage fuse in the pull-out drawer is correct.
The recommended fuse is an IEC 127 5×20 mm, 3A, 250 V, HP part number
2110-0780.
Notice that an extra fuse is provided in a drawer located on the fuse holder.

For continued protection against fire hazard, replace line fuse only
with same type and ratings, (type T 3A/250V for 100/240V operation).
The use of other fuses or materials is prohibited.

Step 14. Copy the EEPROM Disk
The HP 8702D is shipped from the factory with an EEPROM backup disk
which is unique to each instrument. The backup disk contains a copy of correction constants which were stored in the instrument’s internal memory at
the factory. If your HP 8702D should ever be damaged, these correction constants may need to be reinstalled from the disk. Use the following procedure
to create a backup copy of the disk.
The disks can be ordered as HP 92192A (box of 10).

“EEPROM Backup Disk”.
Whenever the HP 8702D is returned to Hewlett-Packard for servicing and/or
