Measurement Category: None (not intended for Measurement Category II, III or IV.) (That is, the E7515W input ports are not designed to measure hazardous voltages, or to be connected to equipment that is not protected from hazardous transient voltages.) This is a Safety Class 1 Product (provided with a protective earth ground incorporated in the power cords).
Environmental Information Samples of this product have been type tested in accordance with the Keysight Environmental Test Manual and verified to be robust against the environmental stresses of Storage, Transportation and End-use; those stresses include but are not limited to temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, altitude, and power line conditions.
This equipment has been conformity assessed for use in business environments. In a residential environment this equipment may cause radio interference. Declaration of Conformity The Declaration of Conformity for any Keysight product can be found on the website: http://www.keysight.com/go/conformity Instrument Location and Rack Mounting Requirements Locating the Test Platform Make sure that the left-side panel fan inlet and right-side panel exhaust vent areas are not obstructed.
If you choose to locate your test platform in a rack, follow the guidelines provided in this section. Based on the type of equipment rack, you must determine what rack rails you need. If you are using a Keysight System Test Rack, you can find information on what to order by referring to the Rack Mounting Flange Kit (Option E7515W-1CM) Installation Note.
Power Requirements The E7515W has two AC power inputs, as illustrated below. The AC inputs must be connected and powered to operate the instrument. Both power cords are provided with the E7515W. See “AC power safety” for more information. Figure 1: AC Inputs Voltage &...

Weight and Dimensions The weight and dimensions of the E7515W are as follows: Weight: E7515W-00A: 45.0 Kg Height: 309 mm (323 mm with feet) Width: 436 mm (452.5 mm with lateral handles) Depth: 554 mm Lifting As indicated by the "TWO PERSON LIFT" label, safety precautions must be taken in lifting or carrying the instrument.
1.5, the DUT may generate power levels high enough to exceed maximum RF input power at ports RF1 through RF8. To protect the E7515W receiver, a 4 dB attenuator should be connected in line with each UXM RF port, when testing in Power Class 1.5. Recommended attenuators: BW-S4W5+ (SMA, 4dB) or BW-N4W5+ (N, 4dB).
This section describes how to set up your UXM install product licenses and provide test platform maintenance. You can also contact your Keysight representative to obtain on-site start-up assistance to help you with all steps outlined in this section, which is included with your UXM purchase.
Overview The purpose of this guide is to provide you with the basic steps for getting started with the E7515W UXM Wireless Connectivity Test Platform, and to tell you where you can go to get additional information. It also provides first-time power on instructions, licensing information, operating system information, and general hardware information.
Inspect the shipping container and the cushioning material for signs of stress. Retain undamaged shipping materials for future use, as you may wish to ship the test platform to another location or to Keysight Technologies for service. Verify the contents of the container against the table below.
Contact the nearest Keysight Technologies office. — Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. — If you must return a test platform to Keysight Technologies, use the undamaged original or comparable shipping materials. See “Returning Your Test Set for Service”.
