System Installation
Site Preparation
PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzer System
N5250A
Environmental Requirements
System Heating and Cooling
Install air
conditioning and heating, if necessary, to maintain the ambient temperature within the
appropriate range (as given in the table above). Air conditioning capacity must be consistent
with the BTU ratings given in Table 3-2 on page 3-6.
Required Conditions for Accuracy Enhanced Measurement
Accuracy-enhanced (error-corrected) measurements require the ambient temperature of the
N5250C to be maintained within ± 1 C of the ambient temperature at calibration.
The environmental requirements shown below are characteristic for the system and are
based on
the limitations of the E8361C network analyzer used.
Table 3-3 Environmental Requirements
Temperature
Operation
5 C to 40
C (41 F to 104 F)
Storage
40 C to +65 C (40 F to +158 F)
Measurement Calibration
20 C to 26 C (68 F to 79 F)
Performance Verification
Temperature must be within 1 C (1.8 F)
of the temperature at which the
measurement calibration was performed.
