“Measurement Guides”.

1-8 General Description

The Site Master S331E/S361E is a hand held cable and antenna analyzer designed to make
Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, and Distance-To-Fault (DTF) measurements in the field.
The cable and antenna analyzer also includes 1-port phase and smith chart measurements.
The 2-port transmission measurement option includes two power levels and access to a
built-in 32 volt bias tee (Option 10).

The S332E/S362E is an integrated multi-functional test instrument that eliminates the need
to carry and learn multiple test sets. In addition to the cable & antenna measurements, the
S332E/S362E can be configured to include a Spectrum Analyzer, 2-port Transmission
Measurement, Interference Analyzer, Channel Scanner, CW Signal Generator, AM/FM/PM
Analyzer, Power Meter, and High Accuracy Power Meter. A GPS receiver can be added to
both the S331E/S361E and the S332E/S362E Site Master models.

The bright 8.4" TFT color display provides easy viewing in a variety of lighting conditions and
the combination of a touch screen and keypad enables users to navigate menus with the touch
screen and enter numbers with the keypad. All Site Master models are equipped with a
Li-Ion battery delivering more than four hours of battery life for the S331E/S361E and more
than three hours of battery life for the S332E/S362E Site Masters.

The internal memory is large enough to store approximately 2,000 traces or setups.
Measurements and setups can also be stored in a USB flash drive or transferred to a PC using
the included USB cable.

Master Software Tools (MST), a PC based software program, can be used to create reports,
view and organize data, analyze historical data, add markers and limit lines, rename traces
and trace analysis. Please see Chapter 8 for a brief overview of Ma ster Software Tools a nd the
Master Software Tools Users Guide (.pdf file is availabl e on the MST CD-ROM) for additional
information. (.DAT files can be opened with the legacy Handheld Software Tools (HHST)

Refer to the Site Master Technical Data Sheet (P/N 11410-00484) for general specifications,
detailed measurement specifications for all available measurement modes, ordering
information, power sensors, and available accessories. The data sheet is included with the
instrument and also available on the Master Software Tools CD-ROM. It is also available on
the Anritsu Website: http://us.anritsu.com.

1-10 Preventive Maintenance

Site Master preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and cleaning
the RF connectors on the instrument and all accessories. Clean the Site Master 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.

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.

1-11 Calibration Requirements

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.

1-12 Annual Verification

Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Site Master
and the OSL calibration components and InstaCal module by local Anritsu service centers.

The Site Master is self-calibrating and there are no field-ad justab le compon ents. The OS L
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.

General Information 1-13 ESD Caution

1-13 ESD Caution

The Site 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 Site Master without discharging the
static charge) may damage the Site Master input circuitry. Site Master 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 Site Master, it is recommended that any
static charges that may be present be dissipat ed before connecting coax ial cables or antennas
to the Site Master. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to
the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the Site 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.

1-14 Battery Replacement

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

Chapter 6 — GPS (Option 31)

GPS

6-1 Introduction

The Site Master is available with a built-in GPS receiver feature (Option 31) that can provide
latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC timing information. This option also enhances the
frequency reference oscillator accuracy in the spectrum analyzer mode (S332E/S362E). The
accuracy of the CW generator (Option 28) is also improved with the GPS option. Within three
minutes of satellite acquisition, the reference oscillator will have an accuracy of better than
50 ppb (parts per billion).

In order to acquire data from the GPS satellites, the user must have line-of-sight to the
satellites or the antenna must be placed outside without any obstructions. Anritsu GPS
antenna 2000-1528-R is required.

6-2 Chapter Overview

• Section 6-3 “Activating the GPS Feature” on page 6-1

• Section 6-4 “Saving and Recalling Traces with GPS Information” on page 6-3

• Section 6-5 “GP S Menu” on page 6-4

6-3 Activating the GPS Feature

Install the Anritsu GPS antenna onto the GPS Antenna connector on the Site Master.

1. Press the Shift key, then the System (8) key.

2. Press the GPS submenu key.

3. Press the GPS On/Off submenu key to toggle the GPS feature on or off. When GPS is

first turned on, a RED GPS icon will be appear at the top of the display.

Saving Traces with GPS Information

The GPS coordinates of a location can be saved along with a measurement trace. Refer to the

“Save Menu” on page 4-8 for more information. The current GPS coordinates will be saved

with the measurement traces whenever GPS is on and actively tracking satellites.

Recalling GPS Information

If the GPS coordinates were saved with a measurement, then when the measurement is
recalled, the coordinates that were saved are recalled as well. Refer to the “Recall Menu”

on page 4-11 for more information about recalling a saved trace.

GPS: Press this submenu key to turn GPS on or off.
GPS Info: Press this submenu key to display the current GPS information.

Tracked Satellites: Shows the number of tracked satellites (three are

required to retrieve latitude and longitude, four are required to resolve
altitude). Generally, the larger number of satellites tracked, the more
accurate the information.

Latitude and Longitude: Shows location in degrees, minutes, and
seconds.

Altitude: Shows altitude information in meters.
UTC: Universal Coordinated Ti me.
Fix Available: The cold start search sets are established to ensure

that at least three satellites are acquired within the first couple of
minutes. When three satellites are found, the receiver will compute an
initial fix (typically in less than two minutes). Fix Not Available means
that the initial position has not been established.

Almanac Complete: The system Almanac contains information
about the satellites in the constellation, ionospheric data, and special
system messages. In a cold start, the GPS receiver does not have any
navigation data so the receiver does not have a current almanac. A
complete system almanac is not required to achieve a first position fix.
The availability of the almanac, however, can significantly reduce the
time to first fix.

Antenna Status:

OK: Antenna is connected properly and antenna is working properly
Short/Open: A short or open exists between the antenna and the

connection. If this message is displayed, then remove and replace the
GPS antenna. If the message persists, then try another Anritsu GPS
antenna (part number 2000–1528-R). If the message persists, then
contact your nearest Anritsu Service Center.

Receiver Status: Current status of the receiver.

GPS Voltage: Press this submenu key to set the source vo lt age to be e ither

3.3 V or 5 V depending on the GPS receiver being used. GPS antenna
voltage is set to 3.3 V by default in order to prevent accidental damage to
lower-voltage GPS antennas.

Reset: The Reset key sets the tracked number of satellites to 0 and erases
any almanac data, along with saved coordinates. The process of searching
for and reacquiring satellites will begin again.

Back: Press this submenu key to return to the “System Menu” on page 5-3.

Option 10 provides a bias tee that is installed inside the instrument. The bias arm is
connected to a 12 VDC to 32 VDC power source that can be turned on as needed to place the
voltage on the center conductor of the instrument’s RF In port. This supply of bias implies it is
mostly useful when conducting two-port transmission measurements. This voltage can be
used to provide power to block down-converters in satellite receivers and can also be used to
power some tower-mounted amplifiers.

The bias can be turned on only when the instrument is in transmission measurement, return
loss, cable loss, VSWR, DTF, or spectrum analyzer mode. When bias is turned on, the bias
voltage and current are displayed in the lower left corner of the display. The 12 VDC to 32
VDC power supply is designed to continuously deliver a maximum of 6 watts.

The bias tee menu can be accessed from the applications options menu and in transmission
measurement, it can also be accessed from the Measure main menu.

Chapter 8 — Master Software Tools

8-1 Introduction

This chapter provides a brief overview of Master Software Tools (MST). For detailed
information, refer to the MST Manual.

8-2 MST Overview

Anritsu Master Software Tools is a Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP compatible
program for transferring and editing saved measurements, markers, and limit lines to a PC.
Master Software Tools will not function on earlier versions of the Microsoft Windows
operating system.

8-3 Feature Overview

Capturing or Retrieving Traces

MST includes a feature to capture the current screen and associated data from the test
instrument to the Master Software Tools Graphic Display Editor window. Saved files on the
test instrument can also be retrieved and displayed or edited with Master Software Tools.

Editing Graphs

MST can be used to change the scale, limit lines, and markers in a measurement through the
Edit Graph button in the workspace toolbar, or through the Context Menus.

Context Menus

Context Menus are accessed by right-clicking the mouse on an active measurement screen in
the Graphic Display Editor Window. Context Menu functions may include commands that are
also available on the pull down menus and toolbar buttons, or functions, commands, and
options specific to the active measurement window.

Overlaying Traces

Trace Math and Overlays allow for comparing multiple traces.

Folder Spectrogram

Folder Spectrogram provides a simulated three dimensional view of a large amount of data in
one set of graphs.
