MT8801C has been allowed to dry out sufficiently. Fan clearance: To suppress any internal temperature increase, the MT8801C has a fan on the rear panel as shown in the diagram below. Leave a gap of at least 10 cm between the rear panel and the wall, nearby equipment or obstructions so that fan ventilation is not blocked.
Safety measures for power supply WARNING Before power-on: • Protective grounding The MT8801C must be connected to ground. If the power is turned on without taking this countermeasure, there is a risk of receiving an accidental electric shock. • Power supply voltage In addition, it is essential to check the power supply volt- age.
Section 2 Preparations Before Use 2.2.2 Maximum power to connector The allowable maximum power to the MT8801C connectors are as follows. Connector Allowable maximum power Main Input/Output 10 W (40 dBm) AUX Input 100 mW (20 dBm) AUX Output Exclusive output connector, 0.5 mW (–3 dBm)
2.3 Preparations before Power-on Preparations before Power-on The MT8801C operates normally when connected to 100 to 120 Vac, 47.5 to 63 Hz, or 200 to 240 Vac, 47.5 to 63 Hz AC power supply via the power inlet. To prevent the following problems, take the necessary procedures described on the following pages before power is supplied.
The power supply polarity of the 3-pole (grounded, 2-pole type) matches that of the 3-core power cord plug. Therefore, the MT8801C is connected to ground potential when the power cord is connected to the plug. As a result, it is not necessary to connect the FG terminal to ground.

(FG) terminal on the rear panel must be connected to ground potential before power is supplied to the MT8801C. Fuse holder Label indicating protective ground terminal...
Section 2 Preparations Before Use 2.3.2 Replacing fuse The MT8801C with standard accessories has two spare fuses (T6.3A250V). Use these fuses to replace the blown fuses. If the fuses must be replaced, locate and rem- edy the cause before replacing the blown fuses.
Page 21
Remove the fuse from the fuse cap and replace it with a spare fuse. Return the fuse cap with the fuse to the fuse holder, then fasten it by turning it clockwise with the screwdriver. * Contact the Anritsu service department for fuses by specifying the model name, order number, name, and quantity.
The installation method is included in the rack mount kit diagram. 2.4.2 Stacking When stacking several MT8801Cs or stacking the MT8801C with equipment of the same width as the MT8801C, the B0332 Coupling Plate (sold separately, Table 1-3) are required. 2-10...

Calibration should be performed periodically even if the MT8801C is operating nor- mally. We recommend that the MT8801C be calibrated once or twice a year. Contact the Service Department of Anritsu Corporation if the MT8801C fails to meet the specifications during calibration. Equipment Required for Calibration The table below shows the equipment required to calibrate each item.
6.3 Calibration Calibration Do not start the performance tests until the MT8801C and measuring instruments have warmed up for at least 24 hours and they have stabilized completely. To obtain the best measurement accuracy, do the calibration at room temperature. Keep AC power voltage fluctuations, noise, vibration, dust, humidity, and any other facxtors which can affect results to a minimum.
