Temperature Control Mode; High-Temp Shut Down; Avoid Overpowering The Fieldfox - Keysight N9923A 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 75°C, the FieldFox enters Temperature Control mode by
reducing display intensity, switching to Outdoor Sun display colors, and
reducing measurement speed. This should decrease the internal temperature
which preserves measurement accuracy and maintains the long-term reliability
of the FieldFox. When this occurs, the following message is displayed on the
FieldFox screen:
The system is entering Temperature Control Mode due to high internal
temperature.
When entering Temperature Control mode, save your instrument state and
data that you want to keep.
When the temperature drops to approximately 73°C, a message is displayed
indicating that the FieldFox is leaving Temperature Control Mode and 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 78°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.
Exceeding the maximum RF power levels shown below will cause an ADC Over
