DSA1000A/DSA1000 Performance Verification Guide
Keep Well Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause increasing of temperature or damages to the device. So please
keep well ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
In order to avoid short circuiting to the interior of the device or electric shock, please do not operate
in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
In order to avoid damages to the device or personal injuries, it is important to operate the device
away from an explosive atmosphere.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid the influence of dust and/or moisture in air, please keep the surface of device clean and dry.
Electrostatic Prevention.
Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid damages induced by static
discharges. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of the cable to release static
before connecting.
Protect the RF Input Terminals of Instrument.
Do not bend or hit the devices (such as filter and attenuator) connected to the input terminals;
otherwise, the weight exerted onto the instrument terminals might increase and the instrument
might be damaged. Besides, the 50Ω and 75Ω connectors and cables cannot be used
interchangeably.
Do Not Overload the Input.
To avoid damaging the instrument, the DC voltage component of the signal input into the RF input
terminal cannot exceed 50V DC and the maximum continuous power of the AC (RF) signal
component cannot exceed 30 dBm (1 W) when the frequency is from 10 MHz to 3 GHz.
Appropriate Use of Power Meter.
If you are not sure about the characteristics of the signal under test, follow these recommendations
below to ensure safe operations of the spectrum analyzer. If RF power meter is available, use it to
measure the signal level. If RF power meter is not available, add a rated external attenuator between
the signal cable and input terminal of the spectrum analyzer; select maximum RF attenuation,
maximum span and maximum possible reference level for the spectrum analyzer to display the
signals within the screen.
Know About the Specification Conditions of the Instrument.
To ensure the performance specifications of the instrument, use the analyzer under specified
conditions.
