“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)
application.)

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
