2-2 Turning On the Site Master Instrument Overview
2-2 Turning On the Site Master
The Anritsu Site Master S820E is capable of approximately 4 hours of
continuous operation from a fully charged battery.
The Site Master can also be operated from a 12 VDC source (which also
simultaneously charges the battery). This can be achieved with either the
Anritsu AC-DC Adapter or the Automotive power outlet adapter.
To turn on the Site Master, press the green On/Off button on the front panel
(Figure 2-5 on page 2-12). The Site Master takes approximately 90 seconds to
complete initial power up and load the application software.
Momentarily pressing the On/Off button when the Site Master is operating
places the instrument into standby mode. A message “Going into Standby
Mode” is displayed, and the touchscreen display turns off. The green power
LED slowly pulses when the instrument is in standby mode. Press the On/Off
button momentarily again to restore the instrument to standard operation.
One minute of inactivity causes the Site Master to enter reduced power mode.
In this mode the display screen brightness is reduced. Touching any portion
of the screen or any keypad press while in reduced power mode instantly
restores screen brightness.
Press and hold the On/Off button until the shut down popup window appears.
The current settings are saved, and the instrument shuts down.
Caution
When using the Automotive power outlet adapter, always verify
that the supply is rated for a minimum of 60 Watts at 12 VDC, and
that the socket is clear of any dirt or debris. If the adapter plug
becomes hot to the touch during operation, then discontinue use
immediately.
Note
If the instrument appears non-responsive or will not power down
using the standard shutdown procedure, then disconnect the
external power supply, and then press and hold the power button
for 10 to 15 seconds to force an instrument shutdown.
Note that the current settings will not be saved.
