Charging the Batteries
The batteries are not charged on delivery. Before initial operation, the bat-
teries must be fully charged without connected load (R&S TSMA6, R&S
TSME6 reps. R&S TSMExxDC).
For charging the batteries, the following possibilities are available:
●
Charging starts automatically when DC power is connected.
●
Usage of external battery charger (optional accessory)
The external recharging of the batteries is only allowed via the following
charger types:
●
R&S TSMA6-BC4, 4-bay charger
●
R&S TSMA-BC2, 2-bay charger
To check, if the batteries are fully charged, refer to Chapter 5.5, "Monitoring Bat-
tery Charge State", on page 28.
4.3
Connecting the R&S TSMA6/6B-BP with R&S
TSMA6
Before initial operation, the batteries must be fully charged without an R&S
TSMA6 connected (see Chapter 4.2, "Connecting with External Power Sup-
ply and Charging the Batteries", on page 12).
To connect the R&S TSMA6 with the R&S TSMA6/6B-BP, the following steps
must be performed.

Operation
For portable operation powered from the batteries, it is recommended to
use the R&S TSMA6/6B-BP always with 2 batteries in the bay. The batter-
ies should have a comparable charging state as they are discharged simul-
taneously.

5.1
Operation Modes
●
Standalone mode
In the standalone mode, the battery pack unit is used without an R&S
TSMA6.The charging state indicator LEDs are controlled autonomously.
●
Host-Controlled mode
The R&S TSMA6 controls the charge indicator LEDs via the SMBus interface.
5.2
Power On/Off
5.2.1
Auto Power On
In standalone mode, the output voltage at the docking connector TSMA6 and
AUX1 / AUX2 is automatically switched on under the following conditions:
●
sufficiently charged batteries and / or
●
external DC power supply connected
Power On/Off
Getting Started 4900.9030.02 ─ 05
5.2.2
Standby
In host-controlled mode (R&S TSMA6 connected), the battery pack can be
switched to standby mode by switching off the R&S TSMA6. In this case, the out-
puts AUX1 / AUX2 are also switched off.
If there is a shutdown by the R&S TSMA6, the voltage at AUX1 / AUX 2 can be
reactivated by switching on the R&S TSMA6.
A R&S TSMA6/6B-BP in standby mode can be switched on again without R&S
TSMA6 only by shortly removing the DC supply and both batteries.
5.3
Battery Charging
During operation with external power supply, the batteries are automatically
charged.
Depending on the number of connected devices and the measuring mode, charg-
ing may take longer because only part of the power consumption can be used for
battery charging.
5.4
Power Path Switching
Switching between battery and external power supply is done automatically.
When an appropriate power supply is connected to the DC IN socket, the connec-
ted devices are supplied from the external power supply and the batteries are
charged.
If the external input power is interrupted or cracking, connected devices are pow-
ered seamless from the batteries.

●
R&S TSMA6-BP / MNT-BP89WH: The discharge status is visible via the bat-
tery internal display without removing the batteries (see Figure 5-1).
When the batteries are being charged the upper segement of the LCD display
is blinking.
●
R&S TSMA6B-BP / MNT-BP99WH: During an active measurement when no
DC IN power is connected, proceed as follows.
Remove the batteries alternately, check the discharge state from the internal
display and insert it again. Ensure that always one battery remains in the bay
to ensure uninterrupted output power.
When external DC power is connected or when the batteries are being
charged without connected devices, both batteries can be removed and
checked.

R&S TSMA6 web-GUI / Tray Icon (Only Host-Controlled
Mode)
In host-controlled mode, the battery charging state can be monitored from the
web-GUI or from the tray icon in the Windows OS.
For details, refer to "R&S TSMA6 Autonomous Mobile Network Scanner - User
Manual" (R&S No. 4900.8057.02).

Battery Exchange - Hot Swapping
When the battey charge reaches a low level, the batteries need to be replaced.
This can be done through hot swapping without interrupting the measurement on
the connected devices.
The batteries are both discharged evenly. Therefore it is recommended to
replace always both batteries.
In case of a hot-swap, do not exchange the batteries simultaneously but
one after the other.
1. Open the cover of the battery bay 1.

4. Close the cover of battery bay 1.
NOTE: The R&S TSMA6/6B-BP may be used only with closed battery cover.
5. Repeat step 1 to step 4 for battery bay 2.
