General Safety Considerations
Safety Earth Ground
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside of the instrument, will make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
The Mains wiring and connectors shall be compatible with the connector used in the premise electrical system. Failure, to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using the correct components may cause product damage, and serious injury.
Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with this product. Failure to ensure adequate grounding by not using this cord may cause product damage.
Before Applying Power
This product has been designed and tested in accordance with
accepted industry standards, and has been supplied in a safe
condition. The documentation contains information and warnings
that must be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to
maintain the product in a safe condition.
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.
If an instrument handle is damaged, you should replace it immediately. Damaged handles can break while you are moving or lifting the instrument and cause personal injury or damage to the instrument.
Supply voltages which oscillate between the two normal input
ranges of the autoranging line voltage input will damage the power
supply. In rare cases, this damage has become a user safety
concern. If unstable power levels are expected, the analyzer input
power must be buffered by a line conditioner.

Safety and Regulatory Information
General Safety Considerations
Safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution Degree 2 per IEC standards.
Before switching on this instrument, make sure
— the correct rating service breaker.
— the supply voltage is in the specified range
This instrument has auto-ranging line voltage input, be sure the supply voltage is within the specified range and voltage fluctuations do not to exceed 10 percent of the nominal supply voltage.
Do not operate the analyzer with the outer cover removed for more than 30 minutes, as this could cause the analyzer to overheat which could result in costly damage.
Servicing
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum
operating temperature of the instrument by 4 °C for every 100 watts
dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is
greater than 800 watts, then forced convection must be used.
All of the service information for the banded and non-LFE broadband millimeter self-configurations can be found in the Service Guide. Refer to

Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
This is important. If not properly protected against, electrostatic discharge can seriously damage your analyzer, resulting in costly repair.
Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while removing
assemblies from or connecting cables to the network analyzer. Static
electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive internal
circuit elements when discharged. Static discharges too small to be felt can
cause permanent damage. To prevent damage to the instrument:
— always have a grounded, conductive table mat in front of your test
equipment.
— always wear a grounded wrist strap, connected to a grounded conductive
table mat, having a 1 MΩ resistor in series with it, when handling
components and assemblies or when making connections.
— always wear a heel strap when working in an area with a conductive floor. If
you are uncertain about the conductivity of your floor, wear a heel strap.
— always ground yourself before you clean, inspect, or make a connection to
a static-sensitive device or test port. You can, for example, grasp the
grounded outer shell of the test port or cable connector briefly.
— always ground the center conductor of a test cable before making a
connection to the analyzer test port or other static-sensitive device. This

Accuracy-enhanced (error-corrected) measurements require the ambient temperature of the millimeter-wave system to be maintained within ± 1 °C of the ambient temperature at calibration.
Site Preparation
Install the instrument so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable
and is easily reached by the operator. An externally installed switch or circuit
breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator)
should be used as the disconnecting device.The detachable power cord can
also be used to disconnect the mains circuits from the mains supply before
other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby switch
and is not a LINE switch.
Power Requirements
Before installing the system, be sure that the required ac power is available at all necessary locations.
— Three-wire power cables (which provide a safety ground) must be used with
all instruments.
— Air-conditioning equipment (or other motor-operated equipment) should
not be placed on the same ac line that powers the system.
— The table below lists the maximum VA ratings and BTU/hour ratings for all
instruments in the system. This table can be used to determine both the
electrical requirements and the air conditioning requirements of the system.

Non-LFE broadband millimeter-wave capability is only available with the
N5293/5A millimeter-wave modules and operates from 10 MHz to
110/120 GHz. For banded systems, the frequency range will vary from
60 GHz to 1.5 THz depending on the OML/VDI millimeter-wave heads
used in the system.
IMPORTANT! Only PNAs and PNA-X network analyzers with a frequency range equal to greater than 20 GHz are compatible with the N5292A test set controller.
IMPORTANT! For additional information on the OML/VDL heads, refer to
“OML/VDI and N5293A/5A Test Heads – Banded Configuration Calibration (Only)” on page 3-21.
Introduction
This section of this document describes system installation and operation for a
banded or non-LFE broadband millimeter-wave system using an N5292A
Millimeter Head Controller. Banded and non-LFE broadband millimeter-wave
systems are made up of three types of major components: a PNA or PNA-X, a
N5292A controller test set, and millimeter-wave heads. These components are
generally purchased separately and assembled by the customer into a system
at the customer's site. This section of the document focuses on receiving the
controller with accessories and then on system installation and operation.
IMPORTANT! For banded systems that are using the OML modules that require DC bias, a separate N5260AK91 power supply and adapter is required. See also, Table 2-9 on page 2-19. And, for VDI modules that require DC bias, use the VDI-175 power supply.
Each OML/VDI module requires a N5290A304 cable adapter to connect to the N5292A test set. See also Table 2-9 on page 2-19.
For additional information on the OML/VDL heads, refer to “OML/VDI and
N5293A/5A Test Heads – Banded Configuration Calibration (Only)” on
page 3-21.
Table 2-3 and Table 2 -4 list compatible PNA and PNA-X models with required
options. Figure 2-10 on page 22 and Figure 2-11 on page 23 list available millimeter-wave modules. Typical system configurations are pictured in Figure
2-1 on page 5, Figure 2-2 on page 5, Figure 2-3 on page 6, and Figure 2-4 on
page 7.
