Warning

Caution

Agilent 35670A Preparing the Analyzer for Use

DC Power Cable and Grounding Requirements

The negative side of the dc input connector is not connected to chassis ground.

In dc mode operation, the chassis will float. The chassis ground lug on the rear panel and the negative side of the dc input connector should both be connected to a known reference potential.

Two dc power cables are available—the HP 35250A dc power cable and the

HP 35251A dc power cable with cigarette lighter adapter. Both cables contain a 30 amp, 32 volt fuse (HP 2110-0920).

The tip of the cigarette lighter adapter may get hot during use. After unpluging the adapter, be careful of the heat from the adapter’s tip.

Although shorter cables may reduce dc voltage loss, use the standard cables. The dc inrush current may pit the connector contacts in shorter cables.

AC Power Cable and Grounding Requirements

On the GPIB connector, pin 12 and pins 18 through 24 are tied to chassis ground and the GPIB cable shield. The instrument frame, chassis, and covers are connected to chassis ground. The input BNCs are floating unless ground mode is selected.

The analyzer is equipped with a three-conductor power cord that grounds the analyzer when plugged into an appropriate receptacle. The type of power cable plug shipped with each analyzer depends on the country of destination. The following figure shows available power cables and plug configurations.

2-3

Preparing the Analyzer for Use Agilent 35670A

Warning

*The number shown for the plug is the industry identifier for the plug only, the number shown for the cable is an HP part number for a complete cable including the plug.

**UL listed for use in the United States of America.

The power cable plug must be inserted into an outlet provided with a protective earth terminal. Defeating the protection of the grounded analyzer cabinet can subject the operator to lethal voltages.

[

System Utility

] [

KEYBOARD SETUP

]. Then press the appropriate softkey to select the language.

Configuring your analyzer to use a keyboard other than U.S. English only ensures that the analyzer recognizes the proper keys for that particular keyboard. Configuring your analyzer to use another keyboard does not localize the on-screen annotation or the analyzer’s online HELP facility.

2-15


To connect the microphone adapter

Agilent 35670A

To connect the microphone adapter

The Microphone Adapter and Power Supply (option UK4) simplifies microphone connections. The mic connector on the analyzer’s front panel provides 8 Vdc to power the adapter. The adapter’s internal power supply uses a step-up converter to provide

28 V and 200 V on the seven-pin input connectors. The 28 V pins power the microphone pre-amplifiers. The 200 V pins polarize the condenser microphone cartridges.

1

Flip the bail handle down to support the front of the analyzer.

2 Insert the threaded ends of the adapter’s two knurled knobs into the standoffs on the bottom of the analyzer’s case, then tighten the knobs with your fingers.

Caution


To clean the screen

To clean the screen

The analyzer’s display is covered with a plastic diffuser screen (this is not removable by the operator). Under normal operating conditions, the only cleaning required will be an occasional dusting. However, if a foreign material adheres itself to the screen, do the following:

1

Set the power switch to off ( O ).

2 Remove the power cord.

3 Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with a mild detergent mixed in water.

4 Carefully wipe the screen.

Do not apply any water mixture directly to the screen or allow moisture to go behind the front panel. Moisture behind the front panel will severely damage the instrument.

To prevent damage to the screen, do not use cleaning solutions other than the above.

To store the analyzer

• Store the analyzer in a clean, dry, and static free environment.

For other requirements, see environmental specifications in chapter 1,

‘’Specifications.’’

2-17


To transport the analyzer

Agilent 35670A

To transport the analyzer

• Package the analyzer using the original factory packaging or packaging identical to the factory packaging.

Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available through Hewlett-Packard offices.

•

•

•

•

•

If returning the analyzer to Hewlett-Packard for service, attach a tag describing the following:

Type of service required

Return address

Model number

Full serial number

•

•

In any correspondence, refer to the analyzer by model number and full serial number.

•

•

•

•

Mark the container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.

If necessary to package the analyzer in a container other than original packaging, observe the following (use of other packaging is not recommended):

Snap the impact cover in place to protect the front panel.

Wrap the analyzer in heavy paper or anti-static plastic.

Use a double-wall carton made of at least 350-pound test material.

Cushion the analyzer to prevent damage.

Caution Do not use styrene pellets in any shape as packing material for the analyzer. The pellets do not adequately cushion the analyzer and do not prevent the analyzer from shifting in the carton. In addition, the pellets create static electricity which can damage electronic components.

2-18


If the analyzer will not power up

If the analyzer will not power up

Check that the power cord is connected to the Agilent 35670A and to a live power source.

Check that the front-panel switch is on ( l ).

Check that the rear-panel AC/DC power select switch is properly set.

Check that the fuse is good.

See ‘’To change the fuses’’ on page 2-10.

Check that the analyzer’s air circulation is not blocked.

Cooling air enters the analyzer through the right side and exhausts through the left side and rear panel. If the analyzer’s air circulation is blocked, the analyzer powers down to prevent damage from excessive temperatures. The analyzer remains off until it cools down and its power switch is set to off ( O ) then to on ( l ).

Obtain Agilent service, if necessary. See ‘’Need Assistance?’’ at the end of this guide.

2-19


If the analyzer operates intermittently on dc power

Agilent 35670A

If the analyzer operates intermittently on dc power

The analyzer powers down when operating on dc power if no measurement has been made within 30 minutes.

Check that the dc power source can supply the required power.

The dc power source must have a true range of 10.8 to 30.8 Vdc. At the minimum voltage of 10.8 Vdc, the dc power source must be able to supply approximately

8.7 amps for a two-channel analyzer and 12.2 amps for a four-channel analyzer. The voltage loss through an automotive cigarette lighter system can cause the dc voltage to go below 10.8 Vdc.

Check that power transients are not causing the dc voltage to go below 10.8 Vdc.

The dc voltage provided by an automobile is susceptible to power transients. For example, power transients may occur when lights or fans turn on or off, when power door locks engage or disengage, and when windshield wipers operate. If the dc supply voltage falls below 10.8 V, the analyzer automatically turns off. However, the analyzer is not affected by power transients that occur within the range of 10.8 to 30.8

Vdc.

Check that the cable connections are not loose.

Obtain Agilent service, if necessary. See ‘’Need Assistance?’’ at the end of this guide.

Verifying Specifications

Caution


This chapter tells you how to use the Agilent 35670A Semiautomated Performance

Test Disk . The performance test disk contains a program that semiautomates the operation verification tests and performance tests.

After you review this chapter, follow the directions in ‘’To load the program’’ then continue with one of the following:

•

•

•

‘’To run the program in semiautomated mode’’

‘’To run the program without a printer’’

‘’To run the program in manual mode’’

Before applying line power to the analyzer or testing its electrical performance, see chapter 2, ‘’Preparing the Analyzer for Use.’’

Overview

The Semiautomated Performance Test Disk contains a program (ITM_35670A) and two procedure files (OP_VERIFY and PERFORMAN). ITM_35670A is the test manager program. OP_VERIFY is the operation verification procedure file and PERFORMAN is performance test procedure file. The procedure files contain an ordered list of tests, and each test contains one or more measurements. Since ITM_35670A reads the procedure files, the disk must remain in the disk drive during testing.

If you do not have a keyboard connected to the analyzer, use the numeric key pad and the alpha keys when the program prompts you to type in information.

See the analyzer’s help text for a description of the alpha keys.

If a test fails, contact your local Agilent Technologies sales and service office or have a qualified service technician see chapter 4, ‘’Troubleshooting the

Analyzer,’’ in the Agilent 35670A Service Guide .

The program can beep when equipment connections need to be changed.

The program can start the test sequence at any test in the operation verification or performance test list.

• The program can stop after each measurement or alternatively, only if a failure occurs.

• The program can be run in manual mode.

Test Duration

In semiautomated mode, the operation verification tests require approximately

1

1 ⁄

2 hours and the performance tests require approximately 2

1 ⁄

2 hours.

Calibration Cycle

To verify the Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer is meeting its published specifications, do the performance tests every 12 months.

Recommended Test Equipment

The equipment needed for operation verification and performance tests is listed on page 1-17. Other equipment may be substituted for the recommended model if it meets or exceeds the listed critical specifications.

Also, if you want the test record to be automatically printed, you need an GPIB printer. If you want the printer to automatically leave top and bottom margins on every page, enable perforation skip mode (see your printer’s manual for directions). If you do not have an GPIB printer you must record the results of each test in the test records. These test records may be reproduced without written permission of Agilent Technologies.

Operation Verification and Performance Tests

The operation verification tests give a high confidence level (>90%) that the

Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer is operating properly and within specifications. The operation verification tests are a subset of the performance tests. The operation verification tests should be used for incoming and after-repair inspections. The performance tests provide the highest level of confidence and are used to verify that the Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal

Analyzer conforms to its published specifications. Some repairs require a performance test to be done after the repair (see chapter 6, ‘’Replacing

Assemblies’’ in the Agilent 35670A Service Guide for this information). The following table lists the operation verification and performance tests.
