1 Unpack your shipment.
• Inspect the shipping containers for damage.
• Inspect the instruments.
• Verify that you received the options and accessories
that you ordered.
Keep the shipping containers and cushioning material
until you have inspected the contents of the shipment for
completeness and have checked the equipment
mechanically and electrically.
If anything is missing or defective, contact your nearest
Agilent Technologies sales office. If the shipment was
damaged, contact the carrier, then contact the nearest
Agilent Technologies sales office.
Before you connect any fiber-optic cable to the Lightwave
Component Analyzer, please ensure it has been properly cleaned.
Fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty
or damaged cables and accessories. When you use improper
cleaning and handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument
repairs, damaged cables, and compromised measurements.
2 Put the network analyzer on top of the optical test set.
For a PNA, use microwave cables of type E7342- 6004 to
connect to the optical test set.
For an ENA, use microwave cables of type 8120- 8862 to
connect to the optical test set.
The network analyzer and Lightwave Component Analyzer module
are assembled as one analyzer unit. Lifting this instrument requires
two people using proper lifting techniques. For the combined
weight, please consult the specifications ("General Characteristics"
on page 119 of this guide, and the user's documentation for the
network analyzer).
