Warning
Warning
Always refer to the operation manual when working near locations at which
the alert mark, shown on the left, is attached. If the operation, etc., is
performed without heeding the advice in the operation manual, there is a
risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment performance may be
reduced.
Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes used with other marks and
descriptions indicating other dangers.
When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory 3-pin
power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded 3-pin outlet is
not available, use a conversion adapter and ground the green wire, or
connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the equipment to ground. If
power is supplied without grounding the equipment, there is a risk of
receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to
remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal components.
Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of electrical fire and
shock hazards should service this equipment. There are high-voltage parts
in this equipment presenting a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock to
untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision
components.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive circuits in
the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices are being

connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front and rear panel
ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument and test devices by
wearing a static-discharge wristband. Alternatively, you can ground
yourself to discharge any static charge by touching the outer chassis of the
grounded instrument before touching the instrument’s front and rear panel
ports and connectors. Avoid touching the test port center conductors
unless you are properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of
static discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic discharge is
not covered under warranty.
This equipment is supplied with a rechargeable battery that could
potentially leak hazardous compounds into the environment. These
hazardous compounds present a risk of injury or loss due to exposure.
Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for long-term storage
of the instrument and storing the battery in a leak-proof, plastic container.
Follow the environmental storage requirements specified in the product
data sheet.

Chapter 1 — General Information
1-1Introduction
This manual provides maintenance instructions for the Site Master Model S810D/S820D Broadband
Microwave Transmission Line and Antenna Analyzer. It describes the product and provides performance
verification procedures, parts replacement procedures, and a replaceable parts list.
1-2Description
The Site Master S810D, covering 25 MHz to 10.5, and the S820D, covering 25 MHz to 20.0 GHz, are the most
accurate, reliable and convenient one port microwave transmission line and antenna analyzers available for
installation, verification, troubleshooting, and repair of microwave communication systems.
Measurement capabilities includes return loss, SWR, cable loss, and distance-to-fault (DTF) analysis. Patented
RF interference rejection enables accurate measurements in the presence of high RF activity. Data Analysis
software enables assessment of system trends, problems, and performance in addition to professional report
generation. An optional power monitor is available to make power measurements quickly and easily. A built-in
GPS receiver (optional) provides location information for each trace and saved with archived data.
The Site Master Models S810D and S820D use vector error correction, solving the most common and the most
difficult accuracy problems of field test equipment operation, while improving system quality and reducing
maintenance expenses. Difficult test specifications are easy to verify with the Site Master Models S810D and
S820D. Vector error correction and a simple, friendly user interface within the unit further improve the quality
and convenience of measurements compared to traditional scalar techniques. Vector error correction also
improves the quality of Distance-To-Fault data. Not only is the reflection magnitude more accurate, the
waveguide dispersion correction for fault distance (different frequencies travel at different speeds) is also more
accurate and repeatable.
