1-2 Instrument Description General Information

1-2 Instrument Description

The MS2090A Field Master Pro is a synthesizer-based handheld signal analyzer that provides quick and accurate measurement results. The instrument is designed for monitoring, measuring, and analyzing signal environments. Measurements can easily be made by using the main instrument functions: frequency, span, amplitude, and bandwidth. A 10.1" capacitive touchscreen enables fast, easy data entry.

Typical measurements include in-band interference and transmit spectrum analysis, plus cell site and

802.11a/b/g interference testing. Options are available for RF, advanced demodulation, and over-the-air (OTA) measurement. A full range of marker capabilities (such as peak, center, and delta functions) are provided for faster, more comprehensive analysis of displayed signals. Upper and lower multi-segmented limit lines are available to create quick, simple pass/fail measurements.

Time and date stamping of measurement data is automatic. The internal memory provides for the storage and recall of up to 1000 measurement setups and up to 1000 traces. Measurements and setups can be stored internally on the instrument or on a USB flash drive for later recall.

Note

Not all after-market USB drives are compatible with Field Master Pro. The USB drive must contain a single partition using FAT32 format.

1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance General Information

1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Instrument care and preventive maintenance consist of proper operation in a suitable environment, occasional cleaning of the instrument, and inspecting and cleaning the RF connectors and all accessories before use. Clean the instrument with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.

Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Ventilation and Cooling

The Field Master Pro provides active cooling of the internal components to prevent damage from overheating. The airflow vents on the edges and bottom of the instrument must be kept clear and unobstructed while the instrument is powered on. When using the Field Master Pro on a desktop or bench, the tilt bail can be used or the instrument can be placed flat on its back to facilitate increased airflow.

Caution

Do not operate or store the Field Master Pro in extreme environments. Refer to the instrument Technical Data Sheet for the specified operating and storage conditions.

Connector Care

Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf · in to 15 lbf· in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N · m). Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.

Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument. Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can damage the connector, the instrument, or both.

General Information 1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Connecting Procedure

1. Carefully align the connectors. The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers of the female connector.

2. Align and push connectors straight together. Do not twist or screw them together. A slight resistance can usually be felt as the center conductors mate.

3. To tighten, turn the connector nut, not the connector body. Major damage can occur to the center conductor and to the outer conductor if the connector body is twisted.

4. If you use a torque wrench, initially tighten by hand so that approximately 1/8 turn or 45 degrees of rotation remains for the final tightening with the torque wrench.

Relieve any side pressure on the connection (such as from long or heavy cables) in order to assure consistent torque. Use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while tightening with the torque wrench.

Do not over-torque the connector.

Disconnecting Procedure

1. If a wrench is needed, use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while loosening with a second wrench.

2. Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.

3. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.

1-5 Calibration and Verification General Information

ESD Caution

The Field Master Pro, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge by connecting directly to the instrument without discharging the static charge) may damage the Field Master Pro input circuitry. Instrument operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions.

Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices. Because these apply to the Field Master Pro, it is recommended that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the instrument. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the Field Master Pro. It is important to remember that the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.

1-5 Calibration and Verification

The Field Master Pro comes fully calibrated from the factory and there are no field-adjustable components. Anritsu recommends annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. Accredited calibration to ISO17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 are available and can include a calibration certificate, test report, and uncertainty data. Contact Anritsu sales and service centers for more information.
