Temperature Control Mode; High-Temp Shut Down; Avoid Overpowering The Fieldfox - Keysight N9912A User Manual

Preparing for Initial Use of Your New FieldFox

Avoid Overpowering the FieldFox

— The temperature at which the following events occur is the average of the

Temperature Control Mode

At approximately 73°C, the FieldFox enters Temperature Control mode by
reducing display intensity and measurement speed. This should decrease the
internal temperature which preserves measurement accuracy and maintains
the long-term reliability of the FieldFox.
When entering Temperature Control mode, save your instrument state and
data that you want to keep.
When the temperature drops to approximately 71°C, normal operating settings
are restored.
Measurement speed specifications do NOT apply in Temperature Control
Mode.

High-Temp Shut down

In extreme situations, Temperature Control mode may not stop an increase in
the FieldFox internal temperature. At approximately 75°C, High-Temperature
Shut down will engage and turn OFF the FieldFox.
Just prior to shut down, the FieldFox will display a warning of imminent shut
down.
Avoid Overpowering the FieldFox
The FieldFox can be damaged with too much power or voltage applied.
