Model 3580A
GENERAL
OPERATING
INFORMATION
Section III
The instrument should
not
be
left
in
the
CHARGE mode for prolonged periods. A
charge
period
of
14 hours
is
sufficient to
recharge
a fully discharged battery pack. Ex-
tended periods
of
overcharge
in
ambient tem-
peratures exceeding 30° C ( 86° F) will severely
degrade battery life and capacity by causing the
cells to overheat.
3-186. Temperature Limits. To prevent battery damage,
the following temperature limits must
be
observed:
a.
Operating Temperature: 0° C ( + 3
2°
F) to + 40° C
(+
104°F)
b. Charge Temperature Range: 0°C
(+
32°F)
to+
40°C
(+ 104° F)
c. Storage Temperature Range: - 40° C
(-
40°
F)
to
+ 50°C
(+
122°F)

3-188. The 3580A Option 002
is
equipped with a front
panel slide switch which permits selection
of
three input
configurations: Unbalanced, Balanced Bridged, and
Bal-
anced Terminated. These input configurations are illustra-
ted
in
Figure 3-32. In addition, the 3580A Option 002
TRACKING
OSC
OUT
is
transformer coupled
to
provide a
600-ohm balanced
output
configuration.
~I
The differential
signal
level applied to the
Option 002 Balanced Terminated input must
not
exceed+
27
dBm at 0 V
de.
The combined
ac
and de levels
must
be
such
that the power
dissipated
by
the terminating resistor
is
less
than 0.5 watt.
3-189. The 3580A Option 002 can
be
calibrated for
absolute measurements
in
rms volts, dBm/600 ohms or

is
made using the front panel

measurements can be made
in
dB

full scale.

It
should be noted that
in
the unbalanced input
configuration, the input shunt capacitance
is
40 pF, nomi-
nal. This differs from the 30
pF
shunt capacitance
of
the
standard Model 3580A.
If
a 10:1 divider probe
is
used, it
must
have
sufficient adjustment range to compensate for
the 40 pF shunt capacitance.
An
-hp- Model 10003A
Voltage Divider Probe
is
recommended.
