Calibration

The Anritsu Spectrum Master loads factory calibration data during start-up, eliminating the
need for daily calibration checks.

Annual Calibration

Although the Anritsu Spectrum Master does not require daily field calibration, Anritsu rec-
ommends an annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service cen-
ters. Anritsu service centers are listed in Table 1-3 beginning on the following page.

ESD Cautions

The MS2711D, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to ESD damage.
Very often, coaxial cables and antennas build up a static charge, which, if allowed to dis-
charge by connecting directly to the MS2711D without discharging the static charge, may
damage the MS2711D input circuitry. MS2711D operators should be aware of the potential
for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions. Operators should exercise practices
outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and
MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices.
As these apply to the MS2711D, it is recommended that any static charges that may be
present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the MS2711D. This
may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna
prior to attaching to the MS2711D. It is important to remember that the operator may also
carry a static charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above
standards will insure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.
