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.
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.

1-6 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance General Information
1-6 PN: 10580-00250 Rev. AA Cell Master UG
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.
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.
Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
General Information 1-6 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance
Cell Master UG PN: 10580-00250 Rev. AA 1-7
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.
Note
When inserting the battery, the battery label should face the back of the instrument
and the end where the battery contacts are located slides in first. If the battery
door does not latch closed, the battery may be inserted incorrectly.

Touch Screen Calibration
Calibration optimizes the response of touch input. It is recommended if the instrument does
not respond as expected when you press the touch screen.
The Calibrate Touch Screen submenu key is in the “System Menu” on page 5-3. When pressed,
a message box is displayed with instructions for calibration. See Figure 2-10. Press Enter to
begin calibration, or press Esc to cancel. Alternatively, you can press 1 while the message box
is displayed to use the arrow keys for navigation. Refer to “Disable Touch Screen to Use
Arrow Navigation”.
During calibration, press the crosshairs in sequence as they appear on the screen. The
process takes less than one minute.
Calibrate Touch Screen Shortcut
Another way to access touch screen calibration is to press Shift, then 0 (zero). This displays
the touch screen calibration message box shown in Figure 2-10. The shortcut can be used if
your touch inputs do not correspond to the appropriate locations on the screen to such an
extent that you cannot access the Calibrate Touch Screen submenu key.
Disable Touch Screen to Use Arrow Navigation
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.
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.

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.
