 Network Analyzers using S4VNA software

Carefully read the following safety instructions before putting the Module into operation. Observe all the precautions and warnings provided in this Manual for all the phases of operation, service, and repair of the Module.

Observe all general safety precautions related to the operation of electrically energized equipment.


WARNING

The Module should be used only by skilled and thoroughly trained personnel with the required skills and knowledge of safety precautions.

Connect the body of the controlling PC and the body of the VNA (the post marked ground) to be used with the Module before starting operation.

Exceeding maximum input power of the RF signal or maximum DC voltage specified on the front panel of the Module can result in the Module breaking down.

Never operate the Module if the USB cable is damaged.


Protection from electrostatic discharge


WARNING

Make sure to protect the work area from electrostatic discharge.

Electrostatic discharge can damage the Module when connected or disconnected from the VNA, during the connectors cleaning, or during visual inspection.

Static charge can build up on the body and damage the sensitive circuits of internal components of both the Module and the VNA being calibrated. To avoid damage from electric discharge, observe the following:

Always discharge the static charge accumulated on the body before touching the Module or any other sensitive to static electricity devices.

Always use a desktop anti-static mat under the DUT.

Always wear a grounding wrist strap connected to the desktop anti-static mat via daisy-chained 1MΩ resistor.


Definitions of safety symbols used on the instrument and in the manual are listed below.
