Warning

When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory 3-pin


power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded 3-pin outlet is
not available, use a conversion adapter and ground the green wire, or
connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the equipment to ground. If
power is supplied without grounding the equipment, there is a risk of
receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.

This equipment cannot be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to


Warning remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal components.
Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of electrical fire and
shock hazards should service this equipment. There are high-voltage parts
in this equipment presenting a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock to
untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision
components.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive circuits in


the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices are being
Caution connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front and rear panel
ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument and test devices by
wearing a static-discharge wristband. Alternatively, you can ground
yourself to discharge any static charge by touching the outer chassis of the
grounded instrument before touching the instrument’s front and rear panel
ports and connectors. Avoid touching the test port center conductors
unless you are properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of

2-4 InstaCal Module Verification Performance Verification

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.

3-2 Battery Information


The following information relates to the care and handling of the Site Master battery, and to NiMH batteries in
general.
• The Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery that is supplied with the Site Master is shipped in a
discharged state. Before using the Site Master, the internal battery must first be charged for three
hours, either in the Site Master or in the optional battery charger (Anritsu part number: 2000-1029).
• Use only Anritsu approved battery packs.
• Recharge the battery only in the Site Master or in an Anritsu approved charger.
• With a new NiMH battery, full performance is achieved after three to five complete charge and discharge
cycles.
• When the Site Master or the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
• Do not charge batteries for longer than 24 hours. Overcharging may shorten battery life.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
• Temperature extremes affect the ability of the battery to charge. Allow the battery to cool down or warm
up as necessary before use or charging.
• Discharge an NiMH battery from time to time to improve battery performance and battery life.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
• The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between charging becomes noticeably
shorter than normal.
• Never use a damaged or worn-out charger or battery.
• Storing the battery in extremely hot or cold places reduces the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
• Never short-circuit the battery terminals.
• Do not drop, mutilate, or attempt to disassemble the battery.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
• Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not place batteries in household garbage.
• Always use the battery for its intended purpose only.

Removal and Replacement 3-2 Battery Information

Battery Testing Procedure


1. With the Site Master Off and the battery installed, connect the Universal AC Adapter to the
12.5–15VDC (1350 mA) connector. The External Power LED and the Battery Charging LED will light.

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.

3-3 Removal and Replacement Procedures


Table 1-2, “List of Replaceable Assemblies” on page 1-3 provides a list of replaceable assemblies.

Important Information Regarding Service of Anritsu Equipment


Only qualified service personnel should attempt to perform repairs on this instrument. During the warranty
period, opening of the case by non-Anritsu Service personnel will void the warranty.
Extreme care must be used when handling internal assemblies. Careless handling will cause damage.
Unless authorized by the factory, no attempts should be made to repair a defective assembly. (Discharged RTC
batteries on the main PCB may be replaced). Exchange assemblies that are determined to have been damaged
by improper handling will not be accepted for credit.

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.

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.

Figure 3-3. Removing the Corner Bumpers

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.

3-5 Removal of the LCD and Keypad Assemblies


1. Remove the LCD wires from under the plastic retaining clips of the metal backing plate.
2. Remove the 14 screws that secure the backing plate to the case.
3. Lift up the backing plate. The LCD often remains attached to the backing plate by the friction of the
rubber gasket.
4. Disconnect the flexible PCB from the LCD circuit board by pulling outward at each end of the connector
with tweezers or other pointed tool.
5. Lift the LCD away from the backing plate.
6. Lift off the rubber cushion, the keyboard PCB, and the keypad membrane.

3-6 Removal of the Main PCB, Option 5 PCB, Spectrum Analyzer


Assembly
1. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the main PCB, one screw in the center, and the 5-wire battery
cable. (Refer to Figure 3-4 for locations.)
2. Disconnect the SMA cable at the Spectrum Analyzer RF In, and disconnect the wire that is plugged into
P5 near the RF Out connector.

Figure 3-4. S312D Main PCB

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).

Removal and Replacement 3-7 RTC Battery Information

Figure 3-5. S312D Spectrum Analyzer PCB

3-7 RTC Battery Information


The date and time are saved using a +3 V coin-style battery that is mounted on the main PCB. (Refer to
Figure 3-6 for the location). This battery has a finite life span. When sufficiently discharged, the message RTC
Invalid appears during the boot-up self-test.
When this message appears, it is necessary to replace the RTC battery. After replacing the battery, reenter the
date, time, and year (under the Sys key menu) to remove the RTC Invalid message.
