1 Operating Precautions

IMPORTANT Most causes of instrument failure can be avoided if you will apply the information in

this section. PLEASE READ!

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while removing assemblies from or

connecting cables and assemblies (DUT) to the network analyzer. Static electricity can build up on your

body and can easily damage sensitive internal circuit elements when discharged. Static discharges too

small to be felt can cause permanent damage. To prevent damage to the instrument:

always have a grounded, conductive table mat in front of your test equipment.

always wear a grounded wrist strap, connected to a grounded conductive table mat, having a 1

MΩresistor in series with it, when handling components and assemblies or when making

connections.

always wear a heel strap when working in an area with a conductive floor. If you are uncertain

about the conductivity of your floor, wear a heel strap.

always ground yourself before you clean, inspect, or make a connection to a static-sensitive

device or test port. You can, for example, grasp the grounded outer shell of the test port or

cable connector briefly.

always ground the center conductor of a test cable and DUT before making a connection to the

analyzer test port or other static-sensitive device. This can be done as follows:

1. Connect a short (from your calibration kit) to one end of the cable and DUT to short the center

conductor to the outer conductor.

2. While wearing a grounded wrist strap, grasp the outer shell of the cable and DUT connector.

3. Connect the other end of the cable and DUT to the test port and remove the short from the

cable.

Preventing Electrical Overstress Damage

Excessive RF power or voltage applied to the ports and connectors on the front panel will damage the

analyzer. Each port and front-panel connector has a label (see photo below) that shows damage levels.

These levels must not be exceeded. Damage levels are also listed in the Specifications section of the

analyzer’s Help system.

There are two ways to protect the PNA input ports from high RF power:

1. Use power limiters at the ports. Information on limiters can be found at:

www.agilent.com/find/mta.

2. Apply the recommendations in PNA Application Note 1408-10, “Recommendations for Testing

High-Power Amplifiers,” found at: http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5989-1349EN.pdf.

Preventing Test Port Connector Damage

Proper connector care and connection techniques are critical for accurate and repeatable

measurements. The following table contains for tips on connector care.

Handling and Storage

Keep connectors clean

Extend sleeve or connector nut

Use plastic end-caps during storage

Do Not

Touch mating-plane surfaces

Set connectors contact-end down

Store connectors or adapters loose

Visual Inspection

Inspect all connectors carefully

Look for metal particles, scratches, and

dents

Do Not

Use a damaged connector - ever

Connector Cleaning

Try compressed air first

Use isopropyl alcohol (see warning

below)

Clean connector threads

Do Not

Use any abrasives

Get liquid into plastic support beads

Gaging Connectors

Clean and zero the gage before use

Use the correct gage type

Use correct end of calibration block

Gage all connectors before first use

Do Not

Use an out-of-specification connector

Making Connections

Align connectors carefully

Make preliminary connection contact

lightly

Turn only the connector nut

Use a torque wrench for final connection

Do Not

Apply bending force to connection

Over tighten preliminary connection

Twist or screw any connection

Tighten past torque wrench “break”

point

NOTE Agilent strongly recommends that adapters be used as connector savers to minimize the wear

on the analyzer test port connectors. Use instrument-grade quality adapters or better.

WARNING Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the instrument power cord

removed and in a well-ventilated area. Allow all residual alcohol moisture to evaporate,

and the fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.

For more information on the proper use and maintenance of connectors, see

http://na.tm.agilent.com/pna/connectorcare/Connector_Care.htm

Preventing PNA Hard Drive Problems

Previously, the leading cause of PNA failures was problems with the PNA Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Most

of these problems were solved when Agilent replaced the HDD with a solid state drive (SSD) in late

2010.

Follow the suggestions below to prevent problems with your PNA SSD.

Observe Proper Shutdown Procedures

See previous pages.

Do NOT Modify or Reconfigure the Operating System

The Microsoft Windows operating system has been modified and optimized by Agilent to improve the

performance of the PNA.

Do NOT install a standard version of the Windows operating system on the PNA.

Do NOT change advanced performance settings or group policies.

Do NOT add or delete any SSD partitions on the PNA.

Do NOT delete the Agilent user account unless in a secured environment.

Do NOT modify any of the Agilent software registry entries.

Install Antivirus Protection

The PNA does NOT have antivirus protection when shipped. Use of an antivirus program is strongly

recommended if you connect the PNA to the Internet.

In addition, the use of a firewall could help to protect the PNA from viruses. However, some firewalls

could limit DCOM connectivity of the PNA.

Install Windows Critical Updates

The PNA is always shipped with the latest service packs and critical updates that were available at the

time that the PNA is produced. We recommend that you maintain the latest available protection for

your PNA by automatically accepting and installing the latest critical security patches from the

Microsoft Windows Update website: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Use AgileUpdate

If your PNA is connected to the Internet, use AgileUpdate to obtain the latest firmware. On the PNA,

press System, then [Service] softkey, then [AgileUpdate] to automatically update your firmware to the

current revision.

If your PNA is NOT connected to the Internet, you must update firmware using a flash drive. Firmware

can be downloaded from http://na.tm.agilent.com/pna.
