Frame or Chassis Terminal

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter contains important safety instructions that you must follow during operation and storage. Read the following before any operation to ensure your safety and to keep the instrument in the best possible condition.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the instrument.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Guideline

CAUTION

 Do not place any heavy object on the

instrument.

 Avoid severe impact or rough handling that

leads to damaging the instrument.

 Do not discharge static electricity to the

instrument.

 Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

 Ensure signals to the RF input do not exceed

+30dBm.

 Ensure reverse power to the TG output terminal

does not exceed +30dBm.

 Do not supply any input signals to the TG

output.

 Do not block the cooling fan opening.  Do not disassemble the instrument unless you

are qualified.

(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The instrument falls under category II.

 Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the

source of low-voltage installation.

 Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the

building installation.

 Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the

circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.

 Measurement category I is for measurements performed on

circuits not directly connected to Mains.

Power Supply

WARNING

 AC Input voltage range: 100V~240V  Frequency: 50/60Hz  To avoid electrical shock connect the protective

grounding conductor of the AC power cord to an earth ground.

Safety Guidelines

GSP-9300B Quick Start Guide

Battery

CAUTION

 Rating: 11.1V, 6 cell Li-ion battery  Turn off the power and remove the power cord

before installing or removing the battery.

Cleaning

 Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.  Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

 Do not use chemicals containing harsh material

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation Environment

 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

 Temperature: 5°C to 45°C  Humidity: <90%

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The instrument falls under degree 2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or

gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.

 Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

 Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution

occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

 Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.

Storage environment

 Location: Indoor  Temperature: -20°C to 70°C  Humidity: <90%

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased. Please make sure discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the instrument in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol

or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.

This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.

Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

Steps

1. Ensure the power is off and the AC power is

disconnected.

2. Remove the battery cover.

3. Insert the battery as shown in the diagram

below.

4. Replace the battery cover.

GSP-9300B Quick Start Guide

Power Down

Description

The GSP-9300B has two methods to power down: Normal and Forced Power Down.

The normal power down method will save the system state and end any running processes. The state is saved for the next time the instrument is turned back on.

The forced power down method only does a minimum state save.

Normal Power Down

Press the power button. The system will automatically handle the power down procedure in the following order:

 The system state is saved.  Outstanding processes are closed in

sequence.

 The LCD backlight is turned off.  The system enters standby mode (the

power key changes from orange to blue).

Note

The process takes ~10 seconds.

Forced Power Down

Press and hold the power button for ~4 seconds until the system turns off and the power button turns blue.

Note

The forced power down mode might cause the GSP-9300B to perform a longer system check the next time it is powered up.

Description

This section will describe how to activate and move a normal marker. The noise marker function will also be used to show how to make a basic marker measurement.

Operation

1. Use the procedure described in the previous

section to display a signal from the REF out terminal.

2. Press

Marker

> Select Marker[F1] and select

marker number 1.

3. Press [F2] and turn the marker 1 on.

4. Press Normal[F3] and set the marker position to

12 MHz using either the keypad, scroll wheel or arrow keys.

5. Press Function[F5]>Marker Noise[F2] and turn

the marker noise function on. The noise marker function calculates the average noise level over a bandwidth of 1Hz, referenced from the marker position.

Background

The LAN interface is used for remote control over a network. The spectrum analyzer supports DHCP connections so the instrument can be automatically connected to an existing network. Alternatively, network settings can also be manually configured.

LAN configuration Settings

IP Address

Default Gateway

Subnet Mask

DNS Server

DHCP on/off

Connection

Connect an Ethernet cable from the network to the rear panel LAN port.

Interface Configuration

The GSP-9300B supports USB, RS-232, GPIB (optional), WLAN and LAN based LXI interfaces for remote control. This Quick Start Guide only details how to connect to a LAN to access the LXI browser interface for remote control and configuration. Please see the programming manual or user manual on the accompanying User Manual CD for further details.

Configure the LAN and LXI Interface

The GSP-9300B is a class C LXI compliant instrument. The LXI specification allows instrumentation to be configured for basic remote control or monitoring over a LAN or WLAN. The GSP9300B also supports HiSlip. HiSlip (High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) is an advanced LAN based standard for 488.2 communications.

For details on the LXI specification, compliance classes and HiSLIP, please see the LXI website @ http://www.lxistandard.org.
