Clean the Site Master with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.

  • Page 14: Calibration

    Annual Verification Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Site Master and the OSL calibration components by local Anritsu service centers. Anritsu service cen- ters are listed in Table 1-2 on the following page. The Site Master itself is self-calibrating, meaning that there are no field-adjustable compo- nents.

  • Page 16: Chapter 2 - Getting Started

    The Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery supplied with the Site Master is shipped in a discharged state. Before using the Site Master, the internal battery must first be charged for three hours, either in the Site Master or in the optional battery charger (Anritsu part num- ber: 2000-1029).

  • Page 17: Battery Charge Indicator

    A blinking red light indicates less than 13 VDC is being supplied to the charger stand. Check that the correct AC charger adapter is connected to the charger stand. If a battery fails to charge, contact your nearest Anritsu Service Center. You can charge the battery anytime. However, NiMH battery will last longer and perform better if allowed to completely discharge before recharging.

  • Page 18: Discharging The Nimh Battery

    · Use only Anritsu approved battery packs. · Recharge the battery only in the Site Master or in an Anritsu approved charger. · When the Site Master or the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
  • Page 19 Chapter 2 Getting Started · Temperature extremes will affect the ability of the battery to charge: allow the battery to cool down or warm up as necessary before use or charging. · Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.

  • Page 20: Chapter 3 - Functions And Operations

    The Site Master can also be powered by a 12.5 Vdc external source. The external source can be either the Anritsu AC-DC Adapter (P/N 40-115) or 12.5 Vdc Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter (P/N 806-62). Both items are standard accesso- ries.

Side lobes appear around a discontinuity due to the fact that the spectrum is cut off at a finite frequency. Windowing reduces the side lobes by smoothing out the sharp transitions at the beginning and end of the frequency sweep.
