1-5 Calibration and Verification

Anritsu recommends annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. The Cable and Antenna Analyzer mode requires calibration standards for OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD (OSL) or InstaCal module, which are sold separately.

Note

The Cell Master is self-calibrating and there are no field-adjustable components. The OSL calibration components are crucial to the integrity of the calibration. As a result, they must be verified periodically to ensure performance conformity. This is especially important if the OSL calibration components have been accidentally dropped or over-torqued.

Contact information for Anritsu Service Centers is available at: www.anritsu.com/contact-us.

Cell Master UG PN: 10580-00250 Rev. AA 1-5

Anritsu recommends allowing the instrument to warm up to typical operation temperature (approximately 15 minutes) before calibrating.

1-6 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance General Information

1-6 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Instrument care and preventive maintenance consist of cleaning the unit and inspecting and cleaning the RF connectors and all accessories. 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.

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.

Connecting Procedure

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

2. 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.

General Information 1-6 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

ESD Caution

The Cell Master, 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 Cell Master 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 Cell Master, 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 Cell Master. 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.

RF Input Warning

The Anritsu Cell Master is a sensitive measuring instrument designed to measure low power levels. Avoid damaging this sensitive circuitry by observing the maximum input levels printed on the instrument connector labeling and specified in the product technical data sheet.

Typical maximum input is +33 dBm (±50 VDC) and could be less if additional features, such as a preamplifier, are in use. Be sure to review the product technical data sheet or Anritsu website for recommended components and accessories that can help you protect your instrument. These include a variety of adapters, attenuators, filters, and RF detection accessories.

Battery Replacement

The battery can be replaced without the use of tools. The battery compartment door is located on the lower left side of the instrument (when you are facing the measurement display). To remove the battery:

1. Slide the catch toward the bottom of the instrument.

2. Pull the top of the door away from the unit.

3. Lift out the battery door.

4. Pull straight out on the lanyard to remove the battery pack from the instrument.

When inserting the battery, the battery label should face the back of the instrument

If the touch screen is not functioning, you can use Arrow Navigation to simulate pressing the touch screen main menu keys and submenu keys. From the touch screen calibration message box (see Figure 2-10), press 1 to display the arrow navigation message box, illustrated in

Figure 2-11. Press 1 again to enter the arrow navigation mode, or press Esc to cancel.

Figure 2-11. Arrow Navigation Message Box

In arrow navigation mode, a red border highlights the currently selected key (see Figure 2-12

on page 2-12). Use the arrow keys to move the red selection box, then press the Menu key to

activate the highlighted key. Only the main menu keys and submenu keys can be activated using Arrow Navigation. This feature does not move the red selection box into other areas of the touch screen, like the display title bar, sweep window, or the instrument settings area on the left.

2-4 Interface Screen Instrument Overview

To save a measurement in arrow navigation mode, press Shift then File (7). Use the arrow keys to move the red selection box to the Save Measurement As submenu key. This submenu key must be used because the arrow navigation mode cannot be used to change data in popup windows in the measurement display. File names are determined by the current setting of the Save Measurement As submenu key. Refer to “Save Measurement As” on page 4-10.

You can save a JPEG image of the current display screen by pressing Shift, followed by Decimal, then +/–. The JEPG image shows screen data, but does not contain the additional measurement information that accompanies a saved measurement in a *.spa measurement file.

To return to normal touch entry mode, reboot the instrument (turn power Off, then On). If your touch screen has been damaged, refer to “Contacting Anritsu for Sales and Service”

on page 1-3.

2-5 Data Entry Instrument Overview

2-5 Data Entry

User input can be in the form of numeric values for instrument or measurement settings, selected values from a preset list, or alphanumeric text when entering file names, for example. To view or change a parameter value, access the appropriate submenu by pressing one of the five main menu keys along the bottom of the interface screen, then navigating through the touch screen submenus.

Other instrument functions are accessible from the numeric keypad, when used in combination with the Shift key. Refer to “Numeric Keypad” on page 2-3. Some of the parameter settings displayed on the left of the interface screen or under the title bar are touch screen shortcuts to related submenus.

Depending on the measurement mode, refer to the associated Measurement Guide listed in

Appendix A for a description of available menus and submenus.

Numeric Values

To modify a numeric parameter setting that is displayed on a submenu touch screen key, press the key to make it active. The display color of the currently set value changes to red. Use the rotary knob, arrow keys, or the numeric keypad to change the value. When entering a value from the keypad, the submenu typically shows the selectable units. Press the desired unit or press Enter to complete the entry.

Selection Lists

Some parameters and instrument functions are selectable from a pop-up list. These list boxes display the available selections, and value limits if applicable. Use the arrow keys or the rotary knob to scroll through the list and highlight the desired entry. You can also use the touch screen to make your selection.

To apply the selection, press Enter. To exit the selection list without making a change, press the Escape (Esc) key.
