Manual Performance Tests

This chapter contains procedures which test the electrical performance of the

Agilent 8702E. If you are using an Agilent 8702E Option 011, perform the tests in

Chapter 6, “Performance Tests – Option 011” . Before starting these proce-

dures, allow the instrument to warm up for one hour.

Each procedure has a “Performance Test Record” that is located at the end of this chapter.

To obtain the same quality of performance testing that Agilent Technologies has administered at the factory, you must perform:

• the system verification procedures in

Chapter 2, “Automated Verification”

Chapter 3, “Manual Verification” .

• all of the performance test procedures in this chapter.

This quality of performance testing guarantees that the analyzer is performing within all of the published specifications. Agilent Technologies will issue a

Certificate of Calibration for your analyzer if two conditions are met.

1 Your analyzer passes all the performed tests.

2 The equipment and standards that you used to perform the tests are traceable to a national standards institute.

NOTE

If you have a particular type of measurement application that does not use all of the analyzer’s measurement capabilities, you may ask your nearest Agilent Technologies Service

Office for a subset of specifications that you want verified. However, this may create a potential for making incorrect measurements, by using a different application than what was specified in the procedures.

These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.

To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.

Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources while it is being opened. The opening or removal of the covers or parts is likely to expose dangerous voltages.

The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live for five seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.

1 Remove the instrument top cover. Using an 8 lb-inch torque wrench, verify that all semi-rigid cables connected to the sampler/mixer assemblies are tight. In addition tighten any loose screws on the sampler/mixer assemblies (A4/5/6) and the pulse generator assembly (A7).

2 Remove the instrument bottom cover. Refer to

Figure 4-19 . Verify that cables

W1, W31 and W32 are tight.

This chapter contains procedures which test the electrical performance of the

Agilent 8702E Option 011. If you are not using an Agilent 8702E Option 011, refer to

Chapter 4, “Performance Tests” . Before starting these procedures,

allow the instrument to warm up for one hour.

Each procedure has a “Performance Test Record” that is located at the end of this chapter.

To obtain the same quality of performance testing that Agilent Technologies has administered at the factory, you must perform:

• the system verification procedures in Chapter 5, “Automated Verification – Option 011” .

• all of the performance test procedures in this chapter.

This quality of performance testing guarantees that the analyzer is performing within all of the published specifications. Agilent Technologies will issue a

Certificate of Calibration for your analyzer if two conditions are met.

1 Your analyzer passes all the performed tests.

2 The equipment and standards that you used to perform the tests are traceable to a national standards institute.

NOTE

If you have a particular type of measurement application that does not use all of the analyzer’s measurement capabilities, you may ask your nearest Agilent Technologies Service

The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live for five seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.

1 Check your test setup for damage or excessive wear of the input connectors.

2 Impedance mismatch may also be caused by the samplers, or the semi-rigid cables connecting the A4/A5/A6 sampler mixer assemblies to the analyzer front panel Type-N connectors. Check for damaged semi-rigid cables. If no damage is apparent at the input connectors, try interchanging the sampler assemblies.

If the problem goes away, the sampler which you just swapped is defective. If the problem still exists, suspect the path from the Type-N connector input to the sampler assembly.

If You Encounter a Problem

If you have difficulty when installing or using the Agilent 8702E, check the following list of commonly encountered problems and troubleshooting procedures.

Contact the nearest Agilent Technologies office for service, if necessary. A list

of Agilent Technologies service offices is provided on page 7-9 .

If the display does not light

❒ Check that the power cord is fully seated in both the main power receptacle and the Agilent 8702E’s power module.

❒ Check that the AC line voltage selector switch is in the appropriate position

(230V/115V) for your available power supply.

❒ Check that the Agilent 8702E’s AC line fuse is not open.

Refer to

Figure 7-1 to remove the fuse from the power module. Use an ohmme-

ter to check the fuse. The 3A, 250V fuse is Agilent Technologies part number

2110-0780.

7-2

W A R N I N G

If You Encounter a Problem

If the fan does not run

The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live for 10 seconds after you disconnect the cord from the power supply.

W A R N I N G

Figure 7-1. Line Fuse Removal and Replacement

For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the fuse with the same type and rating.

If the fan does not run

1 Switch the LINE power switch to the off position.

2 Check that the fan blades are not jammed or obstructed.

7-3

If You Encounter a Problem

If data entry keys don’t respond

If data entry keys don’t respond

❒ Check that the “entry off” function is not enabled.

The “entry off” is enabled after you press the ENTRY OFF key. To return to normal entry mode, press any function key that has a numeric parameter associated with it, such as, START .

❒ Check that none of the keys are mechanically stuck.

❒ Check that the selected key is designed to accept data.

For example, SCALE REF accepts data, but SYSTEM does not.

❒ Ensure that you are not attempting to enter a value that is greater than or less than its limit.

❒ Check that the front panel “R” GPIB STATUS light is not illuminated.

If the “R” GPIB STATUS light is illuminated, a test sequence may be running, or a connected computer controller may be sending commands or instructions to, or receiving data from, the instrument. Press LOCAL if you want to return to local control.

If there is no RF signal

❒ Check that the signal at the test ports is switched on. a Press SWEEP SETUP , POWER , SOURCE PWR until ON appears on the SOURCE PWR softkey label. b Press SWEEP SETUP , POWER , POWER TRIP on OFF until OFF appears on the POWER

If You Encounter a Problem

If there is no RF signal

TRIP softkey label.

❒ If you are applying external modulation (AM) to the Agilent 8702E, check the external modulating signal or external gate/trigger signals for problems.

If the error message: CAUTION: OVERLOAD ON INPUT X, POWER

REDUCED appears on the display, too much source power is being applied at the input. In such a case, the input power will need to be reduced before the source power will remain on.

❒ Look for phase-lock error messages and then contact your nearest Agilent

Technologies office for service. A list of Agilent Technologies service offices is

provided on page 7-9 .

If You Encounter a Problem

Returning the Instrument for Service

Returning the Instrument for Service

The instructions in this section show you how to properly return the instrument for repair or calibration. Always call the Agilent Technologies Instrument

Support Center first to initiate service before returning your instrument to a service office. This ensures that the repair (or calibration) can be properly tracked and that your instrument will be returned to you as quickly as possi-

ble. Call this number regardless of where you are located. Refer to “Agilent

Technologies Service Offices” on page 7-9

for a list of service offices.

Agilent Technologies Instrument Support Center(800) 403-0801

If the instrument is still under warranty or is covered by an Agilent Technologies maintenance contract, it will be repaired under the terms of the warranty or contract (the warranty is at the front of this manual). If the instrument is no longer under warranty or is not covered by an Agilent Technologies maintenance plan, Agilent Technologies will notify you of the cost of the repair after examining the unit.

When an instrument is returned to a Agilent Technologies service office for servicing, it must be adequately packaged and have a complete description of the failure symptoms attached. When describing the failure, please be as specific as possible about the nature of the problem. Include copies of additional failure information (such as the instrument failure settings, data related to instrument failure, and error messages) along with the instrument being returned.

Preparing the instrument for shipping

1 Write a complete description of the failure and attach it to the instrument.

Include any specific performance details related to the problem. The following

7-6

C A U T I O N

If You Encounter a Problem

Returning the Instrument for Service information should be returned with the instrument.

• Type of service required.

• Date instrument was returned for repair.

• Description of the problem:

• Whether problem is constant or intermittent.

• Whether instrument is temperature-sensitive.

• Whether instrument is vibration-sensitive.

• Instrument settings required to reproduce the problem.

• Performance data.

• Company name and return address.

• Name and phone number of technical contact person.

• Model number of returned instrument.

• Full serial number of returned instrument.

• List of any accessories returned with instrument.

2 Cover all front or rear-panel connectors that were originally covered when you first received the instrument.

Cover electrical connectors to protect sensitive components from electrostatic damage. Cover optical connectors to protect them from damage due to physical contact or dust.

Instrument damage can result from using packaging materials other than the original materials. Never use styrene pellets as packaging material. They do not adequately cushion the instrument or prevent it from shifting in the carton.

They may also cause instrument damage by generating static electricity.

3 Pack the instrument in the original shipping containers. Original materials are available through any Agilent Technologies office. Or, use the following guidelines:

• Wrap the instrument in antistatic plastic to reduce the possibility of damage caused by electrostatic discharge.

• For instruments weighing less than 54 kg (120 lb), use a double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton of 159 kg (350 lb) test strength.

• The carton must be large enough to allow approximately 7 cm (3 inches) on all sides of the instrument for packing material, and strong enough to accommodate the weight of the instrument.

• Surround the equipment with approximately 7 cm (3 inches) of packing material, to protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton. If packing foam is not available, the best alternative is S.D-240 Air Cap™ from

7-7

If You Encounter a Problem

Returning the Instrument for Service

Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like a plastic sheet filled with air bubbles. Use the pink (antistatic) Air Cap™ to reduce static electricity. Wrapping the instrument several times in this material will protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton.

4 Seal the carton with strong nylon adhesive tape.

5 Mark the carton “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE”.

6 Retain copies of all shipping papers.
