It is also absolutely essential to observe the additional safety instructions on per­sonal safety, for example, that appear in relevant parts of the product documentation.
Operating conditions and operating positions
The product must only be operated under the operating conditions and in the positions specified by the man­ufacturer. The product’s ventilation must not be obstructed. If the manufacturer's specifications are not ob­served, this can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death and product damage. Applicable local or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed during all work.
• Never switch output power on (in manual mode or remote mode) without a load or terminated OUT connected to the test port.
• Unless otherwise specified, the following requirements apply to this product: IP protection 2X, pollution severity 2, overvoltage category 2, max. operating altitude 2000 m above sea level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above sea level. A tolerance of +-10 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and +- 5 % to the nominal frequency.
• Do not place the product on surfaces, vehicles, cabinets or tables that, for reasons of weight or stability, are unsuitable for this purpose. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions when installing the product and fastening it to objects or structures (e.g. walls and shelves). Installation that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in personal injury or death.
• Do not cover the heat sink or ventilation openings.
• Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient
temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in the data sheet. Product overheating can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death.
Electrical safety
If the information on electrical safety is not observed at all or to the extent necessary, electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.
• Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network. If the equipment is used at different voltages, the power fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.
• In the case of products in safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is only permitted using sockets with an ground contact and protective ground connection.
• Intentionally breaking the protective ground connection either in the feed line or in the product itself is not permitted. Doing so may result in an electric shock from the product. If extension cords or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are safe to use.
• The plug on the connecting cable serves as the disconnecting device for disconnecting the product from the AC supply network. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all times (corresponding to the length of the connecting cable, approx. 2.5 m). Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for disconnecting the product from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems, a disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.
• Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cable on a regular basis to ensure that it is in proper working order. By taking appropriate safety measures and laying the power cable carefully, you can ensure that the cable will not be damaged and that no one can be hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.
• The product must only be operated in TN/TT networks fused with max. 16 A (230 VAC) / 20 A (110 VAC)
• Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the socket. Otherwise, sparks may occur and result in fire and/or injuries.
• Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can result in fire or electric shocks.
• For measurements in circuits with voltages Vrms > 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate measuring equipment, fusing, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be taken to avoid any hazards.
• Ensure that connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial computers, comply with the IEC60950-1 / EN60950-1 or IEC61010-1 / EN 61010-1 standards that apply in each case.
• Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in operation. Doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, fire or damage to the product.
• If a product is to be permanently installed, the connection between the PG terminal on site and the product's PG conductor must be made first before any other connection is made. The product must only be installed and connected by a licensed electrician.
• For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective devices, the supply circuit must be fused in such a way that anyone who has access to the product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.
• Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the danger of an electric shock.
• Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries.
• Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating conditions and operating positions", item 1.) Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer an electric shock or the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.
• Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock.
Operation
• Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that persons who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so; otherwise, injuries or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable personnel for operating the products.
• Operation of the PIM Rack Analyzer can produce electromagnetic radiation. Ensure that the radiation levels do not exceed the limits stipulated by national regulations. Persons with pacemakers and pregnant women are especially at risk.
• Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport".
• Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it apart, be sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal", item 1.
• Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that can cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective masks and protective clothing must be worn.
Repair and service
• The product may only be opened by authorized, specially trained personnel. Before any work is performed on the product or before the product is opened, it must be disconnected from the AC supply network. Otherwise, personnel will be exposed to the risk of an electric shock.
• Adjustments, replacement of parts, maintenance and repairs may only be performed by electrical experts authorized by Rosenberger. Only original parts can be used for replacing safety parts (e.g. power switches, power transformers, fuses). A safety test must always be performed after safety parts have been replaced (visual inspection, PG conductor test, insulation resistance measurement, leakage current measurement, functional test). This helps to ensure the continued safety of the product.
Transport
• The product may be very heavy. Therefore, it must be handled with care. In some cases, the user may require a suitable means of lifting or moving the product (e.g. with a second person) to avoid back or other physical injuries.
• The user is responsible for securely fastening the products to or on the transport or lifting equipment. Observe the safety regulations issued by the manufacturer of the transport or lifting equipment. Non­compliance may result in personal injury or material damage.
• If you use the product in a vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the driver to drive the vehicle safely and properly. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for accidents or collisions. Never use the product in a moving vehicle if doing so could distract the driver of the vehicle. Adequately secure the product in the vehicle to prevent injuries or other damage in the event of an accident.
Waste disposal
• If products or their components are mechanically and/or thermally processed in a manner that goes beyond their intended use, hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be released. For this reason, the product may only be disassembled by specially trained personnel. Improper disassembly may be hazardous to your health. National waste disposal regulations must be observed.
• If handling the product releases hazardous substances or fuels that must be disposed of in a special way, e.g. coolants or engine oils that must be replenished regularly, the safety instructions issued by the manufacturer of the hazardous substances or fuels and the applicable regional waste disposal regulations must be observed. Also observe the relevant safety instructions in the product documentation. The improper disposal of hazardous substances or fuels can cause health problems and lead to environmental damage.

5.6 DTF
Measuring the distance to the PIM fault and return loss fault position. The graph plots the PIM and RL values over distance, so even multiple sources can be detected and the level measured. The velocity factor has to be known for accu­rate display scaling.
In order to perform DTF measurements, the filter needs to be zeroed (PIM and return loss) first. The zeroing only needs to be done once after a new filter is inserted for the first time (if the filter is changed afterwards the equipment will use the stored value that was created for this filter by means of zeroing) and it can only be done on the device, not on the tablet.

note for details
Various special functions or features can be activated or deactivated here.
It is advisable to keep “Check RL before PIM measurements” activated – it protects the unit from excessive VSWR and device damage caused by hot plugging.
Specify how long measurement data should be kept in the history. Too many stored measure­ments may slow down synchronization with remote software.
Select a predefined jumper cable or set an offset in dB. If enabled, output power and receive level are increased by that value to compensate cable loss.
WiFi Configuration: Activate internal HotSpot for remote control or join a WiFi
network. This feature is not available in the rack system

6.3.1 History
Check entries to compare several measurement traces or reload them to add them to a report.
The history is synchronized with the tablet during connection – old measurements can be viewed and reports can be created offline using the tablet only.
6.4 Report Generation
6.4.1 Creating a Full Report
A report is not only a collection of measurements – it contains a complete set of documentation to provide evidence of the PIM performance of a “device under test”. It includes test parameters, comments, pass/fail check and title sheet with company logo, operator name, equipment serial and so on. By default, similar measurements relating to one section are grouped into a graph on one page to save paper and increase comparability; this can be switched off in the menu. The following graphics show examples of how reports can be structured:
The “Report” button can be found on every measurement screen. After a measurement has been performed, you can tap on it to display a sidebar menu.
A report is divided into sections which hold the individual measurements. To add a measurement to your report you will have to create a section first. If a section already exists you can select it here.
Add this measurement to the selected section of your report.
Show all the saved meas­urement graphs and create a final report with them. This function can also be accessed in the main menu via the “Report” button.
In the “Manage Report” screen all your saved measurements can be seen and arranged for the report.
Additionally you can set common attributes of your report.
Create PDF: The configured report is saved as a pdf file in the default folder automatically. You can copy the file to a USB stick or different location by hitting “Share” in the popup dialog.
New Report: Start a new blank report file, set the overall report title and create sections (e.g. Sector East, 2nd Floor, … or Production Lot1, Production Lot2, …). Measurements which were added are listed with Fre­quency Band, Measurement Type, Pass/Fail and Date in the selected target section.
Report History: Reload report configurations from the past (e.g. if you noticed a typo in a comment in the report yesterday, or failed to add a trace and want to overwrite the old report).
Report Settings: Configure operator’s name, logo and the default report output path. If “merge same meas­urements per section” is checked, all measurements with similar settings are combined in one graph with a legend showing the comments. If unchecked each measurement produces one page of paper.
6.4.2 Creating a Single-Page Report
6.4.3 Exporting Measurement Data as CSV
The raw data of each measurement trace can be exported into a comma-separated file (CSV) to enable cus­tomized postprocessing and data archiving. The CSV file is simply generated from the graph that is currently shown using the Report and Export as CSV buttons. The file name is automatically created from the meas­urement type and the current date + time. The file is saved to the folder selected in Reports -> Manage -> Settings.
The CSV file can be imported into Microsoft Excel with a semicolon separator and decimal dot. Important (especially in Germany): When files are opened directly with Excel, it uses the global operating system lan­guage setting for the decimal separator – therefore Excel will display a value of 1.2 as February 1st. Please change your regional Windows settings to a decimal dot instead of a comma. The file itself contains correct data – it is only shown differently in Excel.
We reserve the right to modify the data structure without notice.
6.4.4 Saving a Screenshot
Exports a picture of the current graph.
Export current measurement values into a CSV text file. Storage path can be set in “Report Settings” via “Man­age Report”
Export current measure­ment into a single-page PDF. Storage path can be set in “Report Settings” via “Manage Report”
6.5 Zeroing PIM
Before the first PIM DTF measurement, the unit must be zeroed. In the settings screen for the DTF meas­urement, choose “PIM Location” under “Measurement Mode”, check the “Enable” checkbox under “Setting New Zero Point” and apply the settings.
After that, connect the DTF zeroing adapter and a low PIM load at the desired zero point. To start zeroing PIM, click on “Zero PIM” at the bottom of the DTF measurement screen.
After successful zeroing, “PASS” is displayed and the zero point is then set. To avoid mistakes in subse­quent measurements, please uncheck the “Enable” checkbox in the DTF settings screen. The “Zero PIM” button on the measurement screen then disappears. The zeroing can also be used to set an offset.
6.5.1 Zeroing Return Loss
Return loss is zeroed without a load / adapter at the end of the cable. “Return Loss Location” must be checked in the DTF settings screen. Also make sure that “Output Power RL” is set to 23 dBm.
After successful zeroing, “PASS” is displayed and the zero point is then set. To avoid mistakes in subse­quent measurements, please uncheck the “Enable” checkbox in the DTF settings screen. The “Zero RL” button on the measurement screen then disappears.
6.5.2 Setting the velocity factor of the signal path (+Application Note DTF)
In order to increase the accuracy of distance measurements, the velocity factor of the signal path can be set up in sections. Enter the cable length and select a predefined cable from the table (or a custom-defined fac­tor) and hit “Add new cable” to create a list of subsequent cable sections from the zero point to the “end” of possible PIM occurrences.
The given example includes a 3 m jumper (1/2” R) and a 30 m feeder (7/8” R) + 1.5 m jumper (1/2” R). Eve­rything beyond the last entry is treated as “Air” with 100% because the antenna is almost unknown anyway.
6.6 Device Info
The “Device Info” screen shows useful information about your PIM Rack Analyzer device, e.g. manufacturing and calibration dates of the filters and base unit.
6.7 Defining Own Buttons for Section Names
When generating reports, measurement results are put into a file structure in the following hierarchy: Report name => Section => Measurement Type => Comment
Whereas measurement type information is provided automatically, the report name and comments are filled in manually by the operator, as this is individual measurement-specific data. However, in many applications, the designations for sectors are the same. In order to avoid having to create the same section names indi­vidually with every new report, it is possible to pre-define your own buttons for section names as default but­tons in the report menu. In order to use this functionality, SW version 2.10 or later is required.
The following example shows how to define your own buttons for section names step by step.
1. Open CSV file With SW version 2.10 (or later), the required .csv file will be installed automatically.
In order to process the data, open the .csv file from the following directory:
C:\Software\PimAnalyzer\userconfig Datei section_text_blocks.csv
2. In order to start defining your own buttons for section names, uncomment the last two lines by removing the hash key:
4. Replace the words in the last two lines with your desired section name. Make sure the field names are separated by a semicolon:
5. Close the .csv file and save the entered data.
6. Open the PIM Analyzer application and go to the report section. Now you can start to add measurement data to the new sectors by selecting “create new” in the sector section and selecting one of the pre-defined buttons.
6.8 Updating the PIM Analyzer Software
To benefit from the latest improvements and to ensure reliable and secure operation of the PIM Rack Ana­lyzer it is important to keep the software up to date. The following steps describe how to install software up­dates for the PIM Analyzer software:
1. Go to http://www.rosenberger.com/pia to download the latest software version and register for up­date notifications.
2. Close the PIM Analyzer application.
3. Run the Setup file PimAlphaSetup-x.x.exe on the PIM Analyzer’s Windows system, typically from a USB stick.

9 Measurement Examples
The following instructions are only recommendations. The actual requirements of PIM testing and verification can vary depending on specifications.
9.1 RF Measurements
General checklist for determining PIM:
1. Tighten RF connectors using appropriate torque
2. Clean connector interfaces with alcohol, Q-tip and compressed air
3. Replace components (e.g. feeder connector)
9.1.1 PIM Acceptance Test
1. Select appropriate filter unit according to your frequency requirements
2. Connect DUT to the test port of the selected filter unit (LED green)
3. Terminate DUT with a low PIM load (60Z150-001, -012, -020)
3. Perform a 2 Tone measurement while tapping on your DUT to simulate mechanical stress (e.g. wind)
4. Perform a sweep measurement over the widest possible frequency range
5. If PIM is not within specified limits, refer to 9.1.2
6. If PIM is within specified limits, create a test report and save it
9.1.2 Troubleshooting a PIM Problem
1. Select appropriate filter unit according to your frequency requirements
2. Connect DUT to the test port of the selected filter unit (LED green)
3. Terminate DUT with a low PIM load (60Z150-001, -012, -020)
4. Use the spectrum analyzer to evaluate interference signals from external sources (e.g. mobile phones or other operator creating strong PIM signals) and eliminate them if present
5. Perform a sweep measurement to evaluate whether the PIM depends on frequency
i. If no PIM is present, perform a 2 Tone measurement with a tap test
ii. If PIM is present, perform a DTF measurement to measure the distance to the
static PIM in meters. If the value is not within cabling length, an environmental influence is causing the problem (e.g. absorbers, other material in test chamber)
9. Fix the PIM problem you have located
10. Perform an acceptance test as described in 9.1.1.
