Keysight Option 222 to 422 4-Port Capability Upgrade Kit
Upgrade Kit for N5241B/42B/49B Microwave Network
Analyzers
Installation Note
Description of the Upgrade
The following may apply to your "B" model PNA: In June 2013, the
N5241A/AS and N5242A/AS analyzers underwent significant hardware
changes. Some components that have 2.4 mm connectors (bias tees,
couplers, and some semi-rigid cables) were replaced with components
that have 3.5 mm connectors.
If your analyzer’s serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5310 and below:
Your analyzer was originally shipped with 2.4 mm components. Bias tees
with 2.4 mm connectors are no longer available, so the bias tees and
connecting cables included in this kit have 3.5 mm connectors. Since they
are interconnected, the 2.4 mm couplers and connecting cables in your
analyzer must be replaced with the new 3.5 mm items included in this kit.
If your analyzer’s serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5321 and above:
Your analyzer was shipped with 3.5 mm components, so it is not necessary
to replace the couplers and connecting cables. These items are included in
this kit, but will not be used for your upgrade. Set them aside for possible
use in the future.
Be very careful to use the appropriate hardware in your analyzer. Using the
wrong hardware can ruin analyzer components, resulting in additional
customer costs.
If you had an A model PNA-X with Option 219/419 with Option H85 that
was upgraded to a B model, please refer to Options 217/417. If you had an
A model PNA-X with Option 224/423 with Option H85 that was upgraded
to a B model then refer to Option 222/422.

2. Remove and discard the following gray flexible cables:
— W150 A20 IF multiplexer (P203) to A12 SPAM (J5)
— W149 A20 IF multiplexer (P603) to A12 SPAM (J2)
3. Remove all bottom-side (test set) semirigid cables except for those in the table below. To see
an image showing the location of these cables, click the Chapter 6 bookmark “Bottom RF
Cables, 2-Port, Option 222” in the PDF Service Guide1. Do not discard the cables because
some will be reused later in the procedure.

Step 15. Assemble the A29 - A32 Test Port Coupler Assemblies
1. Remove the A29 test port 1 coupler and A32 test port 2 coupler from the PNA. For instructions,
click the Chapter 7 bookmark, “Removing and Replacing the A29 - A32 Test Port Couplers” in
the PDF Service Guide1.
2. If your analyzer’s serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5321 and above: Using pliers, remove the
adhesive bumper on the A29 test port 1 coupler and on the A32 test port 2 coupler.
3. If your analyzer’s serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5310 and below: Discard the test port
couplers you just removed from the PNA. These old couplers have 2.4 mm connectors and
must be replaced with the new couplers (3.5 mm connectors) included in the kit.

Step 16.Install the LED Boards and Test Port Coupler Assemblies to the Test
Set Front Plate
1. Remove two screws from each LED board and remove the boards from the 2-port test set front
plate of the PNA.
2. If your analyzer’s serial number is MY/SG/US5321 and above:
Remove the bulkhead connectors from the 2-port test set front plate of the PNA. They will be
installed later in the 4-port test set front plate.
3. Remove the 2-port test set front plate from the test set deck. The bulkhead connectors may be
discarded since they are not used in a 4-port configuration.
4. Follow the two instructions shown in Figure 9.

1. If your analyzer’s serial number is MY/SG/US5321 and above:
Locate the bulkhead connectors you removed earlier from the 2-port test set front plate of the
PNA. Use these and the new bulkhead connectors included in the kit for the remainder of this
step.
2. From the back side of the test set front plate, insert a bulkhead connector into a hole in the
plate.
3. Install 1x washer and 1x nut. Hand tighten nut and ensure bulkhead connector hexagon nut,
on the back side of test set front plate, is aligned to the test set subpanel hexagon indent.
4. Repeat previous two steps for the remaining bulkhead connectors.

Semirigid Cables Required for Upgrading to an Option 422 PNA With Option 029
If Option 029 is not installed, proceed to page 31.
Install the following semirigid cables in the order listed if upgrading to a PNA Option 422 with
Option 029. To see images showing the location of these cables, click the Chapter 6 bookmark
“Bottom RF Cables, 4-Port, Option 422 with Option 029” in the PDF Service Guide1. New parts are
listed in Table 1 on page 9.

receiver attenuator
Follow instructions carefully when making cable connections, especially
wire harness connections. Incorrect connections can destroy components,
resulting in additional customer costs.
Be careful not to damage the center pins of the semirigid cables. Some
flexing of the cables may be necessary but do not over-bend them.
Use a 5/16-in torque wrench set to 10 in-lbs on all cable connections
except the front and rear panel bulkhead connectors. On these, use a 9
mm nutsetter or open end torque wrench set to 21 in-lb.
Cables that are to be reinstalled are designated with “reuse.” Part numbers
in a normal weight font are for analyzers with serial numbers
MY/SG/US5310 and below. Part numbers in a bold weight font are for
analyzers with serial numbers MY/SG/US5321 and above.
