diately contact the carrier who delivered the instrument. Make sure not to discard the
box and packing material.
Packing material
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or shipped later, you can use the material to protect the control elements and connectors.
Risk of instrument damage during transportation and shipment
Insufficient protection against mechanical and electrostatic effects during transportation
and shipment can damage the instrument.
●
Always make sure that sufficient mechanical and electrostatic protection is provided.
●
When shipping an instrument, use the original packaging. If it is not available, allow
for sufficient padding to prevent the instrument from moving around inside the box.
Pack the instrument in antistatic wrap to protect it from electrostatic charging.
●
Secure the instrument to prevent any movement and other mechanical effects during transportation.

3.2.2 Setting Up the Instrument
The R&S EVSG1000 can be operated in a variety of places without detrimental effects
on its features. Even the movement caused by transportation or mobile use does not
impair its functioning.
Risk of instrument damage due to environmental conditions
The R&S EVSG1000 was designed to provide a protected environment for the measurement setup. However, observe the allowed environmental conditions concerning
temperature, humidity and mechanical stress described in the R&S EVSG1000 data
sheet and the general safety instructions to avoid damage to the devices.
Ensure that the airflow perforations are unimpeded.

3.2.3 Connecting the Power Supply
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
To ensure high mobility and flexibility while using the R&S EVSG1000, it is equipped
with a DC power supply connector on the rear panel of the instrument. DC power can
be supplied by the installed battery, the provided power supply unit, or from appropriate
external DC power sources.
Risk of instrument damage due to excess voltage
The R&S EVSG1000 must be operated only on DC power with a voltage of 10 V DC to
28 V DC and a current of 3.0 A.
The provided DC power supply unit must only be plugged into a two-pin grounded
socket!
Use the provided AC/DC power supply unit to operate the R&S EVSG1000 on a 230 V
AC power supply.
3.2.3.1 Connecting the Provided DC Power Supply
Risk of electric shock!
When connecting to an AC power supply, only the supplied AC/DC power supply connector must be used!
Connect the R&S EVSG1000 to the provided AC/DC power supply as follows:
1. Connect the DC connector on the provided AC/DC power supply unit to the
"POWER" connector on the back of the R&S EVSG1000 (see Chapter 3.3.2.1,
"Power Supply", on page 26).
2. Connect the power cable to the AC/DC power supply and to a main power socket.
The green operating LED of the AC/DC power supply connector lights up.
3.2.3.2 Connecting an External DC Power Source
The R&S EVSG1000 can be operated directly from an external DC power source (10
V DC to 28 V DC).
18User Manual 1178.6227.02 ─ 05
R&S®EVSG1000
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
Risk of instrument damage due to insecure power supply connection
If the connection between the instrument and the external DC power source is not protected against excessive current, a short-circuit can damage the instrument or power
supply unit.
When connecting the R&S EVSG1000 to the power supply, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
●
Insert a 3 AT fuse
●
Use a 3-pin XLR connection cable
●
If the cable must be extended, ensure the entire cable has a cross-section of at
least 1.5 mm
2
Connect the R&S EVSG1000 to an external DC power source as follows:
1. Connect the XLR connection cable to the "POWER" connector on the back of the
instrument (see Chapter 3.3.2.1, "Power Supply", on page 26).
2. Connect the XLR connection cable to the DC power supply.
Risk of electric shock
Insufficient insulation and exceeding the current limitation of external power supplies
for safety extra-low DC voltage (SELV) can lead to electric shock.
Be sure to meet the requirements for reinforced/double insulation in accordance with
DIN/EN/IEC 61010 (UL 3111, CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1) or DIN/EN/IEC 60950 (UL 1950,
CSA C22.2 No. 950). Provide current limitation in accordance with DIN EN 61010-1
Appendix F2.1.
3.2.3.3 Using an Optional Battery Pack (R&S EVSG-B3)
As an alternative to the fixed AC or DC power supply, the R&S EVSG1000 can be
operated by a battery pack if the R&S EVSG-B2 and R&S EVSG-B3 options are installed. If the battery pack is installed and no DC power is supplied, the R&S EVSG1000
automatically switches to battery operation (during operation).
If the battery option was ordered together with the instrument, the R&S EVSG1000
comes with the battery management and battery pack already installed.

3.2.4 Connecting Devices for Signal Input and Output
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
The battery pack must be charged before it is used the first time. A new battery pack or
a battery pack which has not been used for a longer time attains full capacity after several charge/ discharge cycles.
Charge the battery pack at a constant ambient temperature between +0 °C and
+40 °C. If the battery temperature rises above +53 °C, charging is interrupted until the
temperature drops below +45 °C. Large temperature variations can also cause the
charger to be switched off too early.
Use only the original battery pack R&S EVSG-B3 (1329.8821.02).
If the instrument is connected to the provided AC/DC power supply or to an external
DC power supply with more than 12 V DC, the internal battery is automatically charged
regardless whether the instrument is switched on or off.
1. Connect the RF input connector ("RX 1 IN"/"RX 2 IN") with the receiving antenna
(see Chapter 3.3.1.3, "RX1 IN / RX 2 IN", on page 22).
2. Optionally, connect the power supply for an active receiving antenna (see Chap-
ter 3.3.1.6, "12 V DC Out", on page 22).
3. Optionally, connect the GPS receiver (see Chapter 3.3.2.6, "RS232 GPS",
on page 27).
4. Optionally, connect a headset (see Chapter 3.3.1.5, "AF Out", on page 22).
3.2.5 Switching the R&S EVSG1000 On and Off
To switch the instrument on or off, press the [Power] key (see Chapter 3.3.1.1, "Power
Key", on page 22).
When the instrument is switched on, the power LED lights up.
If the instrument is operated by the provided DC power supply or by an external DC
power supply with more than 12 V DC, the internal battery is charged regardless
whether the instrument is switched on or off.
Starting Process
The boot process of the R&S EVSG1000 takes about 30 seconds. Then the instrument automatically starts the measurement mode used before the instrument was
switched off.
If valid data for automatic calibration is not available, the message "UNCAL" is displayed in the status line.

The [Power] key starts up and shuts down the R&S EVSG1000.
The TFT color display shows all measurement and configuration details.
Use the RX inputs to connect a receiving antenna (max. +13 dBm) to the
R&S EVSG1000 for RF signal input.
"RX 2 In" is supplied as an option (R&S EVSG-B1).
This option allows you to perform two independent measurements simultaneously, for
example on different frequencies. This capability is vital in flight inspection systems
because localizer and glidepath signals must be measured at the same time. An additional application required in flight inspection systems is the parallel measurement of
two different VOR stations.
3.3.1.4 USB
