Model 3580A
GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
Section III
The instrument should not be left in the
CHARGE mode for prolonged periods. A
charge period of 14 hours is sufficient to
recharge a fully discharged battery pack. Ex-
tended periods of overcharge in ambient tem-
peratures exceeding 30° C ( 86° F) will severely
degrade battery life and capacity by causing the
cells to overheat.
3-186. Temperature Limits.
To prevent battery damage,
the following temperature limits must be observed:
a. Operating Temperature: 0° C ( + 3 2° F) to + 40° C
(+ 104°F)
b. Charge Temperature Range: 0°C (+ 32°F) to+ 40°C
(+
104° F)
c. Storage Temperature Range: - 40° C (- 40° F) to
+ 50°C (+ 122°F)
3-187. Option 002.
3-188. The 3580A Option 002 is equipped with a front
panel slide switch which permits selection of three input
configurations: Unbalanced, Balanced Bridged, and Bal-
anced Terminated. These input configurations are illustra-
ted in Figure 3-32. In addition, the 3580A Option 002
TRACKING OSC OUT is transformer coupled to provide a
600-ohm balanced output configuration.
~I
The differential signal level applied to the
Option 002 Balanced Terminated input must
not exceed+ 27 dBm at 0 V de. The combined
ac and de levels must be such that the power
dissipated by the terminating resistor is less
than 0.5 watt.
3-189. The 3580A Option 002 can be calibrated for
absolute measurements in rms volts, dBm/600 ohms or

measurements can be made in dB or percent of full scale.

It
should be noted that in the unbalanced input
configuration, the input shunt capacitance is 40 pF, nomi-
nal. This differs from the 30 pF shunt capacitance of the
standard Model 3580A. If a 10:1 divider probe is used, it
must have sufficient adjustment range to compensate for
the 40 pF shunt capacitance. An -hp- Model 10003A
Voltage Divider Probe is recommended.
