General Information
Introduction
This chapter provides description, specification, and optional accesso-
ries for the Site Master Series instruments. This series has two mem-
bers, as shown below. Throughout this manual, the term Site Master
will refer to the series; whereas, the terms Site Master S810A and
S818A will refer to the applicable individual models.

Frequency Range
S810A 3.3 to 10.5 GHz
S818A 3.3 to 18.0 GHz
Description
The Site Master (Figure 1-1) is a hand held SWR/RL(standing wave
ratio/return loss) and Distance-To-Fault measurement instrument that
includes a built-in synthesized signal source and an optional power
monitor. It uses a keypad to enter data and a liquid crystal display
(LCD) to provide a graphical indication of SWR or RL over the
selected frequency range. The Site Master has a built-in distance-to-
fault capability. The Site Master is capable of up to two hours of con-
tinuous operation from a fully charged internal battery. It can also be
operated from a 12.5 dc source (which will also simultaneously charge
the battery). Built-in energy conservation features can be used to extend
battery life over an eight-hour work day.
The Site Master is designed for measuring SWR, return loss, or coax/
waveguide insertion loss and locating faulty RF components in antenna
systems. Power monitoring capability is available as an option. The
displayed trace can be scaled and/or enhanced with settable frequency
markers and/or a limit line. A menu option provides for an audible
