ing the unit, the latter must be disconnected
from the supply network.

Unless otherwise agreed, the f ollowing applies:

pollution severity 2, overvoltage category 2, alti­tude max. 2000 m.

Any adjustments, replacements of parts, main-

tenance or repair may be carried out only by au­thorized R&S technical personnel.

The unit may be operated only from supply net-

works fused with max. 16 A.

Only original parts may be used for replacing

parts relevant to safety (eg power switches,
power transformers, fuses). A safety test must
be performed after each replacement of parts
relevant to safety.

Unless specified otherwis e in the data sheet, a

tolerance of ±10% shall apply to the nominal
voltage and of ±5% to the nominal frequency.

2. For measurements in circuits with voltages V

rms

> 30 V, suitable measures should be taken to
avoid any hazards.

(visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulation-

resistance, leakage-current measurement, func­tional test).

(using, for example, appropriate measuring

equipment, fusing, current limiting, electrical
separation, insulation).

7. Ensure that the connections with information
technology equipment comply with IEC950 /
EN60950.

3. For permanently installed units without built-in
fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective de­vices, the supply circuit must be fused such as
to provide suitable protection for the users and
equipment.

8. NiMH batteries must not be exposed to high
temperatures or fire.

Keep batteries away from children.
If the battery is replaced improperly, there is

danger of explosion. Only replace the battery by
R&S type (see spare part list).

4. Prior to switching on the unit, it must be ensured
that the nominal voltage set on the unit matches
the nominal voltage of the AC supply network.

NiMH batteries are suitable for environmentally-

friendly disposal or specialized recycling. Dis­pose them into appropriate containers, only.

If a diff erent voltage is to be set, the power fuse

of the unit may have to be changed accordingly.

5. If the unit has no power switch for disconnection
from the AC supply, the plug of the connecting
cable is regarded as the disconnecting device.
In such cases it must be ensured that the power
plug is easily reachable and accessible at all
times (length of connecting cable approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not suit­able for providing disconnection from the AC
supply.

Do not short-circuit the battery.

9. Equipment returned or sent in for repair must be
packed in the original packing or in packing with
electrostatic and mechanical protection.

10.

Electrostatics via the c onnectors m ay damage
the equipment. For the saf e handling and op­eration of the equipment, appropriate meas­ures against electrostatics should be imple­mented.

If units without power switches are integrated in

racks or systems, a disconnecting device must
be provided at system level.

Safety Instructions

11. The outside of the instrument is suitably
cleaned using a soft, lint-free dustcloth. Never
use solvents such as thinners, acetone and
similar things, as they may damage the f ront
panel labeling or plastic parts.

12. Any additional safety instructions given in this
manual are also to be observed.

R&S FSH3 Putting into Operation

Setting up the Instrument

The Handheld Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSH3 has been designed for operation in labs as well as for on­site use for service and maintenance applications.

For any application, the R&S FSH3 can be set up to optimize ease of operation and the viewing angle
of the display.

When used as a desktop instrument, the R&S FSH3
can either be laid flat or it can be stood up using the
fold-out support at the back.

The R&S FSH3 can be laid flat for operation from
above. Because the grip is slightly raised at the back,
the R&S FSH3 is tilted forward to give the optimum
viewing angle for the display.

For use as a desktop, fold out the support at the rear
so that the instrument can easily be operated from the
front and the display can be read easily (see Fig.).

For on-site installation and service measurements, it is
best to hold the instrument with both hands. All the
controls are easy to reach (e.g. with your thumbs). Use
the R&S FSH-Z25 carrying bag so that you have both
hands free to adjust the DUT. The R&S FSH3 can be
attached to the loop provided on the open bag for this
purpose.

Attach the instrument to the bag by securing the carrying handle to the front of the carrying bag with the
Velcro tape.

The carrying handle at the top of the R&S FSH3 is also suitable e.g. for attaching the instrument to
cabinet doors.The shape of the grip ensures that the instrument does not fall off.

Putting into Operation R&S FSH3

Switching on the Spectrum Analyzer

The R&S FSH3 can be powered from the supplied AC-line adapter or the internal battery. When fully
charged, the built-in nickel metal hydride battery gives an operating time of about four hours. On
delivery, the battery in the R&S FSH3 may be flat. It must, therefore, be charged up before the
R&S FSH3 can be used. If the instrument is switched off, the charging time is four hours.
When the adapter is used, the R&S FSH3’s battery is charged simultaneously.

Insert the adapter jack plug into the POWER ADAPTER connector on the right-hand side of the carrying
handle so that it locks into position. Then, connect the adapter to an AC socket. The adapter voltage
range is 100 V to 240 V.

Caution!

Only the R&S FSH-Z33 adapter prov i ded m ay be us e d to power the R &S FSH 3 or char ge
the battery from the AC supply.

Prior to use, ensure that the AC s upply v olt age is c om pati bl e with th e vo lta ge spe c ifie d on
the adapter. Before inserting the adapter in the AC power outlet, s elect the appropriate
connector.

In vehicles, the battery can be charged from the cigarette lighter socket using the R&S FSH-Z21 cable.

Caution!

It is strictly forbidden to op erate the R&S FSH3 v ia the cigarette lighter socket while the
vehicle is in motion or the engine is running. In these cases, the R&S FSH3 must be off.

While the battery of the R&S FSH3 is being charged via the 12 V Car Adapter
R&S FSH-Z21, the latter must not under any circums tances be c onnect ed to the vehic le's
ground (for example, via the RF connector).

To switch on the R&S FSH3, press the yellow button

at the bottom left of the front panel.

The R&S FSH3 displays a connector symbol in the
middle of the display above the softkey labels to
indicate that it is mains powered.

When the R&S FSH3 is switched on, it recalls the settings that it was using when it was last switched
off.

Note: If the internal battery is complete ly flat, th e R&S FSH3 c annot be s witc h ed on, e v en though

it is powered from the mains via the adapter. In this case, the internal battery must be
charged for some time minutes with the instrument switched off. Only then can the
instrument be switched on.

Spectrum Analyzer Connectors

The R&S FSH3 has the following connectors:

RF input

Connect the RF input via a cable with an N connector to the DUT. Make sure it is not overloaded.

The maximum permissible continuous power at the RF input is 20 dBm (100 mW). It can be loaded with
up to 30 dBm (1 W) for at most three minutes. If the instrument is loaded with 1 W for longer, it heats up
to such an extent that it may be destroyed.

Caution!

The RF input is AC-couple d. However, the DC i nput volta ge must nev er exc eed the value
specified on the hous ing; otherwise the coupli ng capacitor at the input m ay be des troyed
and consequently the input attenuator or mixer too. T he RF input is protected fr om static
discharges and voltage pulses by a combination of limiting circuits and high-voltage
arresters.

Input for external trigger or external reference (EXT TRIG/EXT REF)

Via the EXT TRIG/EXT REF BNC connector, either an external trigger signal is applied to start a
measurement, or a 10 MHz reference signal is applied for frequency synchronization. The trigger
threshold is similar to that of TTL signals. The level of the reference signal must exceed 0 dBm.
Switchover between external trigger input and reference input is via the SETUP key.

DC connector for external power supply (on the right-hand side of the carrying handle).

The R&S FSH3 is powered from the AC/DC adapter via the DC connector and the R&S FSH3 internal
battery is also charged. The input voltage for the instrument must be between 15 V and 20 V. Power
consumption is approx. 7 W.

The battery can also be charged from a cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle. The adapter is available as
an R&S FSH3 accessory (R&S FSH-Z21, Order No. 1145.5873.02).

Caution!

While the battery of the R&S FSH3 is being charged via the 12 V Car Adapter
R&S FSH-Z21, the latter must not under any circums tances be c onnect ed to the vehic le's
ground (for example, via the R&S FSH3's RF connector or the power sensor).

Headphones connector (on the left-hand side of the carrying handle).

A 3.5 mm jack is provided for headphones. The internal impedance of the connector is approx. 10 Ω.

RS232 optical interface

(on the right-hand side of the R&S FSH3, can be accessed by folding out support).
The RS232 optical interface is for connecting a printer or PC. The RS232 Optical Interface Cable
R&S FSH-Z34 (supplied with the R&S FSH3) is used to make the connection. The optical connection
prevents spurious measurements being caused by interference from these devices.

Use the Serial/Parallel Converter R&S FSH-Z22 for printers with a parallel interface.

Connector for power sensor

The connector has been especially configured for R&S power sensors. The connector is used to power
the sensor and to transfer data via the power sensor’s interface. If the R&S FSH-Z2 (VSWR bridge and
power divider) is used, it is controlled by the connector.

Putting into Operation R&S FSH3

Tracking generator output (model 1145.5850.13 and 1145.5850.23 only)

Connect the tracking generator output to the DUT via an N connector. The nominal output level is

-20 dBm (100 µW). With model 1145.5850.23, the level can be switched between –20 dBm and 0 dBm
(1 mW).

Caution!

The output is AC-coupled and a v oltage that does not exceed the volt age stated on the
housing can be fed into the output; if this voltage is exceeded, the output may be
destroyed.
