1-8 ESD Caution General Information
1-8 ESD Caution
The Site Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas may
build up a significant static charge, which may damage the Site Master. To
prevent ESD damage, you are advised to connect a short to either end of the
cable before connecting the cable to the Site Master. If no short is available,
then a termination (load) may be used. Site Master operators must always be
aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions.
Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such
as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686; which
pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices. Remember that
the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause damage. Following
the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a safe environment
for both personnel and equipment.
1-9 Soft Carrying Case
The Site Master can be operated while in the soft carrying case. On the back
of the case is a large storage pouch for accessories and supplies.
To install the instrument into the soft carrying case:
1. The front panel of the case is secured with hook-and-loop fasteners.
Fully close the front panel of the case. When closed, the front panel
supports the shape of the case while you are inserting the Site Master.
2. Place the soft carrying case face down on a stable surface, with the front
panel fully closed and laying flat.
3. Open the zippered back of the case.
4. Insert the instrument face down into the case, taking care that the
connectors are properly situated in the case top opening. You may find
it easier to insert the connectors first, then pull the corners over the
bottom of the Site Master.
Note
The soft case has two zippers near the back. The zipper closer to
the front of the case opens to install and remove the instrument.
The zipper closer to the back of the case opens an adjustable
support panel (tilt bail panel) that can be used to provide support
for improved stability and air flow while the instrument is in the
case. This support panel also contains the storage pouch.
