5 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. ● Operation Modes.............................................................................................27 ● Power On/Off...................................................................................................27 ● Battery Charging............................................................................................. 28 ● Power Path Switching..................................................................................... 28 ● Monitoring Battery Charge State.....................................................................28 ● Battery Exchange - Hot Swapping.................................................................. 32 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. 5.5 Monitoring Battery Charge State The battery charging state can be monitored via the following possibilities: Monitoring Battery Charge State

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. Monitoring Battery Charge State
