Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance.
WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do
not replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test
equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties,
always remove power.
WARNING
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present.
WARNING
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the
purpose of service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of
someone who is capable of rendering aid.
WARNING
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main
power source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two
conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death
can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied.
WARNING
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern
methods of resuscitation.
WARNING
Remove Power
Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with the
power on.

Chapter 4 Fault Location Mode

Fault location identifies the position of impedance discontinuities (reflections) within the antenna system. The measurement results are displayed on an x-y graph. Distance from the SiteHawk Analyzer is shown on the x-axis, while rela­tive magnitude of the discontinuity is shown on the y-axis.
Before making a fault location measurement, ensure that the following items and information are present:
Calibration Combination (Cal Combo) calibration unit All necessary cables and adapters of the correct size and connector type The velocity of propagation for the cable type being measured (obtain
from the cable manufacturer)
Number of data points to use in making the distance to fault measure-
ment (user choice)

Selecting Fault Location Mode

1. Select Mode.
2. Select one of the following:
DTF_SWR DTF_RL
Note: When making a Cable Loss measurement, select units for the Y
(vertical) scale: DTF_SWR for standing wave ratio or DTF_RL for return loss in dB.

Setting the Frequency Span and Max Distance

Frequency Span

Frequency span and the relative propagation rate determines the maximum dis­tance testing fault location test. The following will introduce the related system parameters set.
Narrowing the frequency span increases the measurable distance.
Note: Changing the frequency span or the max distance will auto-
matically turn calibration off. Always set the frequency span or max distance before calibrating the unit.

Max Distance

When specifying a frequency span, the SiteHawk calculates the maximum mea­surable distance. If the maximum distance being measured is known, it can be entered instead of the frequency span; the SiteHawk calculates the frequency span. If a maximum distance is manually entered, select the data points before entering the max distance
Note: If a maximum distance less than the total length of the cable
system is selected, the trace might show a spike that is not really a fault, but rather an echo from the portion of the cable that is beyond the maximum length. Such a spike is known as an alias. To avoid alias­ing, always set the maximum distance to a value that is a few feet or meters greater than the entire length of the cable system.

Data Points

Increasing the number of data points increases the measurable distance (475 points results in twice the distance of 238 points, and 949 points results in four times the distance of 238 points). When changing the number of data points measured, the software automatically recomputes the new maximum measur­able distance. If a maximum distance is entered manually, be sure to select the data points before entering the max distance. Changing data points does not turn calibration off.
Note: Changing data points will turn calibration off.

Setting the Distance and Units

The trace can display the entire length (distance) of the cable system being measured or a smaller portion of the length for better detail.
If it is suspected that there might be a fault at a known distance along a cable, set the display to show only that area by using the start and stop points. Think of this as zooming in on a section of the cable. Both the start point (where to begin the trace display) and the stop point (where to end the trace display) can be set.

Page 34

Interpreting the Fault Location Measurement

The graph below shows a typical Fault Location measurement for an antenna system. The table lists typical component return losses.
Figure 13 Fault Location Measurement Screen
Typical Component Return Loss
Antenna at Resonance -14 dB
Connector -25 dB Jumper -35 dB Lightning Protector -25 dB
Transmission Line -30 dB
Each connector or jumper will show as a spike. If it is larger than the typical value, check the connector for damage.
Spikes where there are no components represent faults. Note the distance and check the line at that point for damage.
The largest spike is usually due to the antenna. Typically the trace after the antenna can be ignored.
If a selected cable length that is less than the total length of the cable system, the trace might show a spike that is not really a fault, but rather an echo from the remaining portion of the cable that is beyond the length chosen. Such a spike is known as an alias.
Note: To avoid aliasing, always set the measurement distance to a7
value that is a few feet or meters greater than the entire length of the cable system.
A large spike (fault) near the SiteHawk Analyzer will mask other faults farther away. When a large spike near the Site Analyzer is found, fix it and then repeat the Fault Location measurement.

Markers

Up to six markers can be used and activated to visually indicate the trace value at specific frequency points. All markers follow the current trace only. The Site­Hawk analyzer displays the frequency and signal value for each marker at the bottom of the screen. Each marker is displayed as a triangle pointer or a vertical line through the trace. The difference (delta) in frequency between two markers can also be displayed. Markers indicate SWR to 0.01, and Return Loss or Cable Loss to 0.1 dB.
When both a recalled trace and the current measurement trace are displayed at the same time, there is an additional marker option, single mode and dual mode.
In single mode, the markers function normally (indicating the frequency and value at the marker).
In dual marker mode, select a marker using the Mark softkey.
At the bottom of the screen, the site analyzer will display the marker number, the frequency, and the value of the current trace at the marker.
Note: The difference in frequency and value between the current
trace and the recalled trace is also displayed. The difference in fre­quency is always 0.00 (zero). Only the first three markers (M1, M2, M3) are available in dual mode.
