Temperature Related Information
Five temperature sensors are in the analyzer: two on the A4 RF board, two on
the A5 System board, and one in the battery pack.
—RF1—on the A4 RF board
—RF2—on the A4 RF board
— SB1—on the A5 System board
— SB2—on the A5 System board
— Battery pack—inside the battery pack
The battery pack has its own internal temperature sensor. The battery pack will
shut itself down in the case of extreme temperatures.
See Chapter 8 for instructions on viewing temperature readings.
See the FieldFox Analyzer User’s Guide (Part Number N9927-90001), “FieldFox
High-Temperature Protection” section, for information about operation at high
temperature.
During normal operation, as each SA measurement is taken, the current RF2
temperature reading is compared tot he temperature stored for the Frequency
Response adjustment. A delta temperature is calculated. Each SA
measurement is adjusted to compensate for the delta temperature.
The internal temperature of the unit is critical when executing the TME based
software for tests and adjustments. See the TME help for detailed information.
Under typical bench top (indoor) conditions, the internal temperature of the
unit will be about 20 °C above ambient once the internal temperature has
stabilized. It will typically take 60 to 90 minutes for the internal temperature to
stabilize when a “cold” unit is turned on.
The FieldFox internal temperature will run 2C - 5 C cooler with the Battery Saver on (the
temperature range is dependent on the ambient temperature).
