Keysight N6841A Quick Start Manual

Observe all Safety Requirements  Maximum Ambient Temperature: 55 ˚C.  Do not cover or block the cooling fins on the casing.  Antenna inputs are ESD sensitive. Use appropriate safeguards.  Do not mount this unit or its antennas under or near power lines.  The included +15VDC power supply (P/N N6841A-SP1 or N6841-64501) is safe for indoor use only, and the cable from either of these supplies must not be run outdoors.  If the RF Sensor is installed outdoors, use a Class 2, outdoor-rated 24VDC supply. To Install the Keysight RF Sensor: 1) Secure the sensor to mounting bracket using the four tapped mounting holes on either the front or rear faces. 2) Connect the grounding strap and all antenna grounding connectors to the M4 grounding connection on the end panel. Observe all local safety codes. Earth Ground Connection M4 x 1.0 (Coarse Thread) 8mm Deep M4 3) Connect optional lightning surge arresters to the two antenna inputs. These arresters are for ESD protection as well as lightning discharge protection. Keysight recommends L-COM AL6-NMNFBW-9 4) Connect the antenna connectors to their appropriate connections on the end panel.
