The PNA-X Pro is very heavy. Its weight exceeds the limits for standard shipments for any of the major freight handlers - DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc. Shipping the PNA-X Pro requires that it be handled as freight, meaning that it must be secured to a pallet which can be lifted by a forklift. The PNA-X Pro is shipped from Keysight in this configuration. The end-user must retain this pallet and other shipping material for sending the PNA-X Pro to Keysight for its annual calibration or any servicing. The major freight handlers will reject any attempt at shipping the PNA-X Pro without a pallet.

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while removing assemblies from or connecting cables and assemblies (DUT) to the network analyzer. Static electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive internal circuit elements when discharged. Static discharges too small to be felt can cause permanent damage. To prevent damage to the instrument:
The following table lists Keysight part numbers for ESD protection devices. To order, refer to "Contacting Keysight".
Description | Keysight Part Number |
Grounding wrist strap | 9300-1367 |
5-ft grounding cord for wrist strap | 9300-0980 |
2 x 4 ft conductive table mat and 15-ft grounding wire | 9300-0797 |
NOTE
The instrument can operate with mains supply voltage fluctuations up to ± 10% of the nominal voltage.
Excessive RF power or voltage applied to the ports and connectors on the front panel will damage the analyzer. Each port and front-panel connector has a label (see photo below) that shows damage levels. These levels must not be exceeded. Damage levels are also listed in the Specifications section of the analyzer's Help system.
There are two ways to protect the PNA input ports from high RF power:
Proper connector care and connection techniques are critical for accurate and repeatable measurements. The following table contains for tips on connector care.

STOP!
Do not downgrade the firmware on your PNA below the version that was installed at the factory, because it will render the hardware inoperable
Do not downgrade the PNA firmware below the version that was installed by the factory. Many components require a minimum firmware revision to run properly. Downgrading below this version will render the hardware inoperable. Reversing this firmware downgrade may not recover the hardware operation.
For example, the Direct Digital Synthesizers require firmware A.14.xx and above. Downgrading to older firmware will permanently disable the hardware.
Safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
NOTE
Only Keysight approved accessories shall be used.
NOTE
This procedure requires an open or short calibration standard that mates with the front panel test ports. The open or short calibration standard is NOT included with the PNA.
Model | Mains Supply Voltage | Frequency | Power |
N52xxB models: | 100-120 VAC | 50/60/400 Hz | 575W MAX |
200-240 VAC | 50 /60 Hz | 575W MAX | |
NA520xA models: | 100-120 VAC | 50/60/400 Hz | 1200Wa |
200-240 VAC | 50 /60 Hz | 1200Wa |
Do NOT press keys on the front panel, rotate the RPG knob, or connect a USB device during boot up of Windows or of the PNA application program. Doing so may lead to a front panel lockup state.
NOTE
This product contains a Windows operating system. The Network Analyzer application is supported and qualified only with the version of Windows that was installed when shipped.
Windows 10 Operating Systems
Windows 10 comes with a display technology called ClearType. This makes displayed text much easier to read on the PNA. The only drawback comes with viewing the display from the bottom. The colors of some small display elements will appear to shift when the viewer's eyes are more than 30 degrees below perpendicular. If necessary, ClearType can be disabled. On the PNA desktop, click Start, then Control Panel then Appearance and Personalization, then Display, then Adjust ClearType Text.
The N52xxB and NA520xA models have Microsoft Windows installed at the factory.
