Thank you for purchasing a RigExpert

AA-650 ZOOM Antenna and Cable Analyzer! We

did our best to make it powerful yet easy to use.

The analyzer is designed for measuring SWR

(standing wave ratio), return loss, cable loss,

as well as other parameters of cable and

antenna systems in the range of 100 kHz to

650 MHz. A built-in ZOOM capability makes

graphical measurements especially effective.

An integrated Time Domain Reflectometer

mode can be used to locate a fault within the

feedline system. The analyzer is equipped

with a

Bluetooth Low Energy

module for a

wireless connection with your laptop, tablet or

smartphone.

The following tasks are easily accomplished by

using this analyzer:

• Rapid check-out of an antenna

• Tuning an antenna to resonance

• Comparing characteristics of an antenna

before and after specific event (rain, hurricane,

etc.)

• Making coaxial stubs or measuring their

parameters

• Cable testing and fault location, measuring

cable loss and characteristic impedance

• Measuring capacitance or inductance of

reactive loads

Introduction

RigExpert AA-650 ZOOM

Main menu

The Main menu acts as a starting point

from where different tasks may be

launched.

Use (Cursor up) and (Cursor

down) keys to scroll through the menu,

then press (OK) to select an item.

For your convenience, a battery

indicator is shown at the top-left corner

of the screen. This indicator is replaced

with a USB icon when the analyzer is

connected to your computer.

The analyzer will be turned off automatically if not in use for too long.

First time use

Please insert three AA batteries

(either alkaline or Ni-MH ones)

into the battery compartment

of the analyzer, watching the

polarity. Instead, you may power it from a spare USB port of your computer by using a

conventional USB cable.

Press the (Power) key located at the bottom-right corner of the keypad to turn on

the analyzer. After displaying the initial message (showing a firmware version and a

serial number of the instrument), a Main menu appears on the screen.

You may use hot keys for the quick access to certain tasks. For instance, press

the

(SWR chart) button to open the SWR chart screen immediately.

Operating the

AA-650 ZOOM

User’s manual

Multifunctional keys

Most keys on the analyzer’s keypad perform

several functions.

For instance, numbers (1) are used to enter

frequency and other numerical parameters.

Main functions (2) provide quick access to most

common tasks. Alternative functions (3) are

executed if the user holds the (Functional)

key. For the convenience, alternative functions

are marked with yellow.

You may press the (Help) key to open a help screen listing all active hot keys.

Connecting to your antenna

Plug the cable to your analyzer’s antenna connector, and then tighten the rotating

sleeve. The rest of the connector, as well as the cable, should remain stationary.

If you twist other parts of the connector when tightening or loosening, damage may

easily occur. Twisting is not allowed by design of the N-connector.

Chart ZOOM

Use the arrow keys to increase or decrease the center frequency or the scanning range.

Watch the chart zooming in or out, or changing its position. Use the (Functional

key) and (Cursor up) or (Cursor down) key combination to zoom the vertical

scale of the chart.

SWR chart

Once your antenna is connected to

the analyzer, it is time to measure its

characteristics. Press the (SWR

chart) key to open the SWR chart screen,

then press (OK) to start a new

measurement.

A few moments later, the result will be

displayed on the analyzer’s screen.

Press the + key combination to

run a continuous sweep.

A small triangle at the bottom of the chart corresponds to a point at which the SWR

reaches its minimum.

Do not forget to press the (OK) key for the new measurement to start.

Press (Functional key) and to quickly choose a radio amateur band.

User’s manual

Data screen

The data screen is available in all chart

modes. Press the (Data) key to

display various parameters of a load at

cursor.

Frequency

and range entry

To enter the center frequency or the

sweep range, press the (Frequency,

Range) key.

Use cursor keys to navigate, or the

to keys to enter values. Do not forget

to press the (OK) key to apply.

Press (Up) or (Down) cursor keys while holding

the (Functional) key to quickly choose a radio amateur band.

Return loss chart

The return loss (RL) chart, which is very similar to the SWR chart, is activated by

pressing the (Functional key) and (RL chart) key combination in the Main

menu.

RigExpert AA-650 ZOOM

R,X chart

Press the (R,X chart) key in the Main

menu to access the R,X chart mode.

Positive values of reactance (X)

correspond to inductive load, while

negative values correspond to capacitive

load.

The chart will display R and X for series

or parallel models of a load. Press

(Functional key) and to switch

between these models.

Smith chart

The (Smith chart) key opens a

screen where the reflection coefficient is

plotted on the Smith chart.

For a list of hot keys, press the

(Help) key, as usual.

A small marker is used to indicate the center frequency.

The marker at the bottom of the screen shows a resonant

frequency closest to the center of the scan.

User’s manual

Memory operation

Press the (Save) key to save the

chart into one of 100 available memory

slots.

To retrieve your readings from the

memory, press then (Load) key,

select a memory slot number and press

(OK).

SWR mode

To watch the SWR at a single frequency,

press the (SWR) key.

Do not forget to press the (OK)

key to start or stop the measurement.

Change the frequency with (Left)

or (Right) cursor keys, or press

the (Frequency) key to enter a new

frequency.

The SWR icon in the top-left corner flashes

when the measurement is performed.

To rename any existing memory slot, press (Functional key)

and

(Edit) key combination.
