Getting Started with the Instrument R&S FSMR
1313.9617.12 1.16 E-2
Getting Started with the Instrument
The following section describes how to activate the instrument and how to connect external devices
such as printer and monitor.
Chapter 2 explains the operation of the instrument using simple measurement examples.
Optional notice heading
Prior to switching on the instrument, make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The instrument cover is in place and tightly screwed on
• Fan
openings are not obstructed
• Signal levels at the inputs are within specified limits
• Signal outputs are connected correctly and not overloaded.
Any non-compliance may cause damage to the instrument
Preparing the Instrument for Operation
remove protective caps
Take the instrument out of the packaging and check whether the
items listed in the packing list and in the lists of accessories are all
included.
Remove the two protective covers from the front and rear of the
R&S FSMR and carefully check the instrument for damage.
Should the instrument be damaged, immediately notify the carrier
and keep the box and packing material.
For further transport or shipment of the R&S FSMR, the original
packing should be used. It is recommended to keep at least the two
protective covers of the front and rear panels in order to prevent
damage to the controls and connectors.
Setting Up the Instrument
Standalone Operation
The instrument is designed for use under general laboratory conditions. The ambient conditions required
at the site of operation are as follows:
Wrist strap with cord
Buildin g ground
Floor mat
Ground connection
of operational site
Heel strap
• The ambient temperature must be in the range specified in
the data sheet.
• All fan openings must be unobstructed and the air flow at
the rear panel and at the side-panel perforations must be
unimpeded. The distance to the wall should be at least
10 cm.
• T
he
mounting surface should be flat.
• To avoid damage of electronic components of the DUT
due to electrostatic discharge on manual touch, protective
measures against electrostatic discharge are
recommended.
R&S FSMR Getting Started with the Instrument
1313.9617.12 1.17 E-2
Safety Instruction for Instruments with Tiltable Feet
The feet must be fully folded in or out. Only in this way can the stability of the
instrument be guaranteed and reliable operation be ensured. With the feet out, the total
load for the feet must not exceed 500 N (own weight and additional units put onto the
instrument). These units must be secured against slipping (e.g. by locking the feet of
the unit at the top side of the enclosure).
<500N
When shifting the instrument with the feet out, the feet might collapse and fold in. To
avoid injuries, the instrument must therefore not be shifted with the feet out.
The instrument can be operated in any position.
Rackmounting
For rack installation, ensure that the air flow at the side-panel perforations and the air
exhaust at the rear panel are not obstructed.
The instrument may be installed in a 19" rack by using a rack adapter kit (Order No. see data sheet).
The installation instructions are part of the adapter kit.
EMC Safety Precautions
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI), the instrument may be operated only with all covers
closed. Only adequately shielded signal and control cables may be used (see recommended accessories).
Getting Started with the Instrument R&S FSMR
1313.9617.12 1.18 E-2
Connecting the Instrument to the AC Supply
The R&S FSMR is equipped with an AC voltage selection feature and will automatically adapt itself to
the applied AC voltage (range: 100 to 240 V AC, 40 to 400 Hz). External voltage selection or adaptation
of the fuses are not necessary. The AC power connector is located on the rear panel (see below).
o
I
Power connector
Connect the instrument to the AC power source using the AC
power cable delivered with the instrument.
As the instrument is designed according to the regulations for
safety class EN61010, it must be connected to a power outlet
with earthing contact.
Switching the Instrument On/Off
Do not power down during booting.
Such a switch-off may lead to corruption of the hard disk files
AC power switch on the rear panel

Position I = ON
In the I position, the instrument is in standby mode or in

ration, depending on the position of the ON/STANDBY
key at the front of the instrument.
Note: The AC power switch may remain ON continuously.
Switch i n g t o OF F is only requir e d wh e n t h e instrument
must be completely removed from the AC power source.
Position O = OFF
The 0 position implies an all-pole disconnection of the
instrument from the AC power source.
ON/STANDBY switch on the front panel
ON STANDBY
Standby switch
The ON/STANDBY switch activates two different operating
modes indicated by coloured LEDs:
Operation ON - ON/STANDBY is depressed
The green LED (ON) is illuminated. The instrument is
ready for operation. All modules within the instrument are
supplied with power.
Shock hazard
In standby mode, the AC power voltage is present within the instrument
STANDBY - ON/STANDBY switch is not pressed.
The yellow LED (STANDBY) is illuminated. Only the
power supply is supplied with power and the quartz oven
is maintained at normal operating temperature.
R&S FSMR Getting Started with the Instrument
1313.9617.12 1.19 E-2
Switching On the Instrument
In order to switch on the R&S FSMR, set the power switch on the rear panel to position I.
Set the R&S FSMR to operating mode by pressing the ON/STANDBY key on the front panel. The
green LED must be illuminated.
Startup Menu and Booting
After switching on the instrument, a message indicating the installed BIOS version (e.g. Analyzer BIOS
Rev. 1.2) appears on the screen for a few seconds.
Subsequently Windows XP is booted first and after that the instrument firmware will boot. As soon as
the boot process is finished the instrument will start measuring. The settings used will be the one that
was active when the instrument was previously switched off, provided no other device configuration than
FACTORY had been selected with STARTUP RECALL in the FILE menu.
Switching Off the R&S FSMR
Switch the ON/STANDBY key on the front panel to standby mode by pressing it once.
The R&S FSMR will write the current instrument settings to disk before performing a Windows XP
shutdown. At the end of the shutdown procedure the power supply will be switched to STANDBY mode.
The yellow LED must be illuminated.
Only when removing the R&S FSMR completely from the AC power source:
Set the power switch at the rear panel to position 0.
Operating the R&S FSMR with the Removable Hard Disk Option R&S FSMR-B18
The R&S FSMR-B18 option allows the instrument to be operated with differently configured hard disks.
Additional hard disks are therefore available as option FSU-B19.
Type and source of hazardous situation
Switch off the instrument before you remove and exchange the hard disk. Exchanging
the hard disk during operation can produce severe data errors.
