Chapter 1 — General Information
1-1 Introduction
This manual provides maintenance instructions for Anritsu Spectrum Master Model MS2720T. It provides a
list of recommended test equipment, performance verification procedures, parts replacement procedures,
replaceable parts list, and test records.
Familiarity with the basic operation of the front panel keys is assumed (for example, how to change
measurement mode, how to preset the instrument, or the meaning of “submenu key”). Before making any
measurement, ensure that all equipment has warmed up for at least 30 minutes.
The manual includes:
• General information in this chapter, including:
• Lists of necessary test equipment to perform verification testing
(Table 1-1, Table 1-2, and Table 1-3)
• Replaceable parts list (Table 1-4)
• Performance verification procedures:
• Chapter 2, “Spectrum Analyzer Verification”
• Chapter 3, “Options Verification ”
• Battery pack information (Chapter 4, “Battery Information”)
• Parts replacement procedures (Chapter 5, “Assembly Replacement”)
• Troubleshooting problems (Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting”)
• Blank test records are included in Appendix A.
• Copy the blank test records from Appendix A and use them to record measured values. These test
records form a record of the performance of your instrument. Anritsu recommends that you make a
copy of the blank test records to document the measurements each time a Performance
Verification is performed. Continuing to document this process each time it is performed provides
a detailed history of instrument performance, which can allow you to observe trends.
