Figure 2-3. InstaCal Module Verification Test Setup
Procedure:
1. Press and hold the ESCAPE/CLEAR key, then press the ON/OFF key to turn on the Site Master. (This
sets the instrument to the factory preset state.)
Note Before continuing, allow a five-minute warm-up for the internal circuitry to stabilize.
If this particular InstaCal Module has been used previously to calibrate this Site Master, then the
Site Master senses the familiar InstaCal Module and automatically calibrates the instrument by using
the OSL procedure.
If the Site Master senses that the characterization data for the InstaCal Module that is connected to
this Site Master is different than the characterization data that is currently stored, then it displays soft
key options to keep or to replace the InstaCal characterization data.
Note Pressing the YES soft key transfers all of the characterization data from this InstaCal Module to the
Site Master. The transfer may take up to three minutes. This option is preferred if this InstaCal
Module is to stay with this particular Site Master. After calibration is completed, the data need not be
transferred again for this combination of Site Master and InstaCal Module.
Pressing the NO soft key temporarily transfers only the portion of the characterization data that is
necessary for this particular calibration. This transfer takes approximately 30 minutes to 60 minutes
and must be repeated every time that a calibration is performed by using this combination of
Site Master and InstaCal Module.
6. Verify that the calibration has been properly performed by checking that the CAL ON! message is
displayed in the upper-left corner of the display.
7. Remove the InstaCal Module from the RF Out port and connect the 20 dB Offset (SC5270) to the RF Out
port.
8. Measure the return loss of the 20 dB Offset. The level should be 20 dB ± 2 dB across the calibrated
frequency range.
9. Remove the 20 dB Offset from the RF Out port and connect the 6 dB Offset (SC5237) to the RF Out port.
10. Measure the return loss of the 6 dB Offset. The level should be 6 dB ± 1.2 dB across the calibrated
frequency range.

21. Press the Center soft key and enter 50, then press the MHz soft key to set the center frequency to 50 MHz.
22. Press the Span soft key and enter 3, then press the MHz key to set the span to 3 MHz.
23. On the Power Meter, press the Sensor key and then the CalFactor soft key. Press the FREQ soft key and
enter 50 MHz for the Input Signal Frequency. This sets the power meter to the proper power sensor
calibration factor. Press the Sensor key to display the power reading.
24. Set the Synthesized Signal Generator output to 50 MHz CW and adjust the power level so that the power
meter displays the corresponding desired Sensor B Reading for –30 dBm as recorded in Table A-18,
“Power Meter Verification (Option 29) –30 dBm Test Power Level” on page A-9.
25. Record the measured value in Table A-19, “Power Meter Verification (Option 29)” on page A-9.
If the reading is unstable, then turn on RMS Averaging by pressing the MEAS/DISP key and then
Note pressing the RMS Averaging soft key. The number of points to average can be set to low, medium, or
high.
26. Repeat Step 21 through Step 24 for 1000 MHz and 1580 MHz.
Many of the procedures in this section are generic, and apply to many similar instruments. Photos
Note and illustrations that are used in this document are representative and may show instruments other
than the Site Master.
1. With the Site Master standing upright on a stable surface, locate the battery access door (Figure 3-1).
2. Lift up the access door handle and rotate it 90° counterclockwise, as illustrated in Figure 3-1.
3. Lift the door and remove, as illustrated in Figure 3-1.
4. Grasp the battery lanyard and pull the battery straight up and out of the instrument, as illustrated in
Figure 3-1.
5. Replacement of the battery is the reverse of removal. Note the orientation of the battery contacts, and be
sure to insert the new battery with the contacts facing the rear of the instrument (Figure 3-2).
If the Battery Charging LED does not light, the battery may be too low to immediately begin full
charging. Leaving the instrument connected to AC power for several hours may bring the battery up
to a level at which full charging can begin. Turn the instrument off and back on to see if the Battery
Note Charging LED lights indicate that a full charge cycle has begun.
Charging is inhibited below 0°C and above 45°C. If the instrument is too hot, the battery will not start
charging until the instrument temperature has cooled to 43°C.
2. Disconnect the AC-DC Adapter when the Battery Charging LED turns off (indicating that the battery is
fully charged).
3. Press and hold the ESCAPE/CLEAR key, then press the ON/OFF key to turn on the Site Master. This sets
the instrument to the factory preset state. Press ENTER when prompted to continue.
4. Press the SYS key, followed by the STATUS soft key. Verify that the indicated battery charge is ≥ 80%. If
the value is 80% or above, then press the ESCAPE/CLEAR key and continue with this procedure. If the
value is lower than 80%, then a discharge/charge cycle may be needed in order to improve the battery
capacity. Completely discharge the battery, as described in Step 5 and Step 6 below, and then recharge
the battery as described in Step 1 and Step 2. If the battery capacity does not increase after a discharge/
charge cycle, then replace the battery.
5. Press the START CAL key (to keep the Site Master from going into HOLD mode) and make note of the
test start time.
6. When the Site Master display fades and the Site Master switches itself off, make note of the test stop
time.
7. The total test time (Step 5 to Step 6) should be ≥ 1.5 hours. If the battery charge started at 80% or more,
and if the total battery test time is < 70 minutes, then replace the battery.
Exchange Assemblies
The Base Assemblies and Option 5 PCB (as listed in Table 2-1) are factory-repairable exchange
assemblies, which should be returned to Anritsu promptly for credit. AC adapters, batteries, LCDs,
keypad parts and non-electrical parts are not exchange assemblies and need not be returned to Anritsu.
The Base Assembly consists of the main PCB and the spectrum analyzer assembly. They are a matched
set. Failure of either assembly requires a new Base Assembly consisting of a main PCB with a spectrum
analyzer PCB. Order the correct Base Assembly (determined by installed options) as shown in Table 2-1.
Return both the main and spectrum analyzer assemblies (without the Option 5 PCB) to Anritsu for
credit. After replacement, no recalibration is required.
If only Option 5 is found to be defective, then the Option 5 PCB should be removed from the main PCB
(as described in Step 5 of Section 3-6 “Removal of the Main PCB, Option 5 PCB, Spectrum Analyzer
Assembly” on page 3-6below) and returned to Anritsu. Do not return the main or spectrum analyzer
assembly if the problem is only with Option 5. After replacement of the PCB, no recalibration is required.
Note For all assemblies in the S312D, installation steps are the reverse of the removal steps.
ESD Requirements: The model S312D contains components that can be easily damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). An ESD safe work area and proper ESD handling procedures that
conform to ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 or ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 are mandatory to avoid ESD
Caution damage when handling subassemblies or components that are found in the S312D instrument.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic discharge is not covered under
warranty.
1. Remove the four rubber corner bumpers by lifting and sliding them off the corners. This reveals the four
screws that hold the front and rear of the case together.
2. Remove the 4 screws that connect the front and rear of the case.
3. Separate the front and rear of the case by approximately 2 inches. Gently unplug the 4 cables that
connect into the main PCB. The 2 halves of the instrument can then be completely separated.
3. Lift the main PCB about two inches out of the case and unplug the two cables that connect the spectrum
analyzer board to the main PCB.
4. The main PCB and spectrum analyzer assemblies are now separated.
5. The Option 5 PCB must be removed if the main PCB has failed, the spectrum analyzer has failed, or
Option 5 has failed. Unplug the 4-pin connector on the Option 5 PCB that connects to the front panel
(refer to Figure 3-4). Remove the 3 screws holding the Option 5 PCB, and remove the PCB. It will be
transferred to the replacement main PCB. Recalibration is not required after the replacement of
Option 5.
6. The spectrum analyzer PCB can be removed from the case by removing the 4 screws and 3 standoffs that
are located around the edge of the PCB.
Note Do not adjust any of the small screws that attach the RF shields of the PCB (Refer to Figure 3-5).
