Safety Considerations
WARNING Before you disassemble the instrument, turn the power switch off and
unplug the signal generator. Failure to unplug the signal generator can
result in personal injury.
CAUTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All
work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation.

Checking Signal Generator Functionality
Use the following procedure to confirm that the signal generator powers up and that the internal check
identifies no errors. The internal check evaluates the operation of the signal generator and returns an error
message if it detects a problem.
NOTE When signal generators with Option 1E5 are first connected to ac line power, the error
message ERROR 514, Reference Oven Cold occurs, which causes both the OVEN COLD
annunciator and the ERR annunciator to turn on.
After approximately five minutes, the OVEN COLD annunciator automatically clears, but the
ERR annunciator remains on until all errors are cleared from the error queue.
1. Turn on the signal generator and let it warm up for at least five minutes.
2. Run the instrument self-test by pressing Utility > Instrument Info/Help Mode > Self Test > Run Complete Self
Test. Upon completion, a summary of the self-test is displayed. Use the service guide to troubleshoot any
failures detected by this test.
NOTE Some circuits can require up to 50 minutes to warm up before passing the self-test. If
self-tests continue to fail after 50 minutes of warm up, troubleshoot the instrument.
3. Check to see if the ERR annunciator is on.
•IftheERR annunciator is on, review the error messages in the error queue by pressing
Utility > Error Info >View Next Error Message. The first error message in the error queue appears in the
display text area. (Refer to the signal generator error messages document for information about each
error message.)
After resolving all problems causing errors, press Clear Error Queue(s).
•IftheERR annunciator is off, the signal generator functionality check has passed.

Installation Procedure
Remove the RF Cable from the Coupler Detector to the RF Output Connector
1. Position the signal generator with the A31 Motherboard facing you and the RF deck on top.
2. Using a 5/16” open wrench, remove the semi-rigid RF cable connecting the A23 Coupler Detector to the
RF output connector.
Installing the AT1 115 dB Attenuator to the RF deck
Refer to Figure 3.
1. Position the attenuator (AT1) so it can be attached to the RF deck.
2. Using the T-10 driver, insert the two screws (1) through the side deck into the metal bracket that is
attached to the attenuator. Torque these screws to 9 in-lbs.
3. Using the 5/16” open ended wrench, attach the semi rigid cable W24 between the A23 Coupler Detector
output connector and the attenuator input connector; torque to 8 in-lbs.
• 20 GHz models : use E8251-20026
• 40 GHz models: use E8251-20025
4. Using the 5/16” open ended wrench, attach the semi rigid cable W25 between the A23 Coupler Detector
output connector and the 3.5mm RF output connector; torque to 8 in-lbs.
• 20 GHz models : use E8251-20027
• 40 GHz models: use E8251-20028
