Chapter 1
General Information
IntroductionThis chapter provides a description, performance specifications, optional accessories, pre-
ventive maintenance, and calibration requirements for the Site Master model S251B.
Throughout this manual, the term Site Master will refer to the S251B.
Model Frequency Range Ports
S251B 625 to 2500 MHz 2
Description
The Site Master is a hand held SWR/RL (standing wave ratio/return loss), transmission
gain/loss and Distance-To- Fault (DTF) measurement instrument that includes a built-insynthesized signal source. All models include a keypad to enter data and a liquid crystal
display (LCD) to provide graphic indications of SWR, RL or dB over the selected fre-
quency range and SWR or RL over the selected distance. The Site Master is capable of up
to 2.5 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged field-replaceable battery and can
be operated from a 12.5 dc source. Built-in energy conservation features can be used to ex-
tend battery life over an eight-hour work day.
The Site Master is designed for measuring SWR, return loss, or one-port cable insertion
loss and locating faulty RF components in antenna systems. Power monitoring is available
as an option. Site Master model S251B includes transmission gain or loss (S21) measure-
ments and an optional built-in bias tee. The displayed trace can be scaled or enhanced with
frequency markers or a limit line. A menu option provides for an audible beep when the
limit value is exceeded. To permit use in low-light environments, the LCD can be back lit
using a front panel key.
Standard Accessories
The Software Tools PC-based software program provides a database record for storing
measurement data. Site Master Software Tools can also convert the Site Master display to a
Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT workstation graphic. Measurements stored in the Site Mas-
ter internal memory can be downloaded to the PC using the included null-modem serial ca-
ble. Once stored, the graphic trace can be displayed, scaled, or enhanced with markers and
limit lines. Historical graphs can be overlaid with current data, and underlying data can be
extracted and used in spreadsheets or for other analytical tasks.
The Site Master Software Tools program also performs DTF (Distance To Fault) and Fault
Location.

** Fault location is accomplished by inverse Fourier Transformation of data taken with the Site Master. Resolution and
maximum range depend on the number of frequency data points, frequency sweep range and relative propagation veloc-
ity of the cable being tested.
*** Immunity measurement is made in CW mode with incoming interfering signal exactly at the same frequency (worst
case situation). Typical immunity is better when swept frequency is used.

Preventive Maintenance
Site Master preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and clean-
ing the RF connectors on the instrument and all accessories.
Clean the Site Master with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild
cleaning solution.
CAUTION:To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abra-
sive cleaners.
Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alco-
hol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N (f) connectors and the pins of the
N (m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether
the connectors are good, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct.
Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance,
not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

Calibration
The Site Master is a field portable unit operating in the rigors of the test environment. An
Open-Short-Load (OSL) or Open-Short-Load-Through (OSLT) calibration should be per-
formed prior to making a measurement in the field. A built-in temperature sensor in the Site
Master advises the user, via an icon located on the right side of the LCD screen, that the in-
ternal temperature has exceeded a safety window, and the user is advised to perform an-
other OSL or OSLT calibration in order to maintain the integrity of the measurement.
NOTES:For best calibration resultscompensation for all measurement uncertain-
tiesensure that the Open/ Short/Load is at the end of the test port or optionalextension cable; that is, at the same point that you will connect the antenna ordevice to be tested.
For best results, use a phase stable Test Port Extension Cable (see Optional
Accessories). If you use a typical laboratory cable to extend the Site Master testport to the device under test, cable bending subsequent to the OSL or OSLT
calibration will cause uncompensated phase reflections inside the cable. Thus,cables which are NOT phase stable may cause measurement errors that aremore pronounced as the test frequency increases.
For optimum calibration, Anritsu recommends using precision calibration components.
Annual Verification
Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Site Master
and the OSL calibration components by local Anritsu service centers. Anritsu service cen-
ters are listed in Table 1-2 on the following page.
The Site Master itself is self-calibrating, meaning that there are no field-adjustable compo-
nents. However, the OSL calibration components are crucial to the integrity of the calibra-
tion and therefore, must be verified periodically to ensure performance conformity. This is
especially important is the OSL calibration components have been accidentally dropped or
over-torqued.

Getting Started
IntroductionThe Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery 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 num-
ber: 2000-1029).
Charging a New Battery
New batteries normally require three to five charge and discharge cycles before attaining
maximum performance. The NiMH battery supplied with the Site Master has already com-
pleted three charge and discharge cycles at the factory and full battery performance should
be realized after your first charge.
Charging the Battery in the Site Master
The battery can be charged while still installed in the Site Master.
Step 1. Turn the Site Master off.
Step 2. Connect the AC-DC adapter (Anritsu part number: 40-115) to the Site Master
charging port.
Step 3. Connect the AC adapter to a 120 VAC or 240 VAC power source as appropriate
for your application.
The green external power indicator on the Site Master will illuminate, indicating
the presence of external DC power and the battery will begin charging. The indi-cator will remain lit as long as the battery is charging. Once the battery is fully
charged, the battery indicator will turn off. If the battery fails to charge, contact
your nearest Anritsu service center.
Charging the Battery in the Optional Charger
Up to two batteries can be charged simultaneously in the optional battery charger.
Step 1. Remove the NiMH battery from your Site Master and place it in the optional
charger (Anritsu part number: 2000-1029).
Step 2. Connect the lead from the AC-DC adapter to the charger.
Step 3. Connect the AC-DC adapter to a 120 VAC or 240 VAC power source as appro-priate for your application.
Each battery holder in the optional charger has an LED charging status indicator. The LED
color changes as the battery is charged:
Red indicates the battery is charging
Green indicates the battery is fully charged
Yellow indicates the battery is in a waiting state (see below).
2 - 1

-
7/27/2019 Anri Ysu
16/84
A yellow light may occur because the battery became too warm during the charge cycle.
The charger will allow the battery to cool off before continuing the charge. A yellow light
may also indicate that the charger is alternating charge to each of the two batteries.
A blinking red light indicates less than 13 VDC is being supplied to the charger stand.
Check that the correct AC charger adapter is connected to the charger stand.
If a battery fails to charge, contact your nearest Anritsu Service Center.
You can charge the battery anytime. However, NiMH battery will last longer and perform
better if allowed to completely discharge before recharging. For maximum battery life, it is
recommended that the NiMH battery be completely discharged and recharged once every
three months.
Battery Charge Indicator
When the AC-DC adapter is unplugged from the Site Master, the battery indicator symbol
will be continuously displayed at the top left corner of the Site Master display (Figure 2- 1).
A totally black bar indicates a fully charged battery. When LOW BATT replaces the battery
indicator bar at the top left corner, a couple of minutes of measurement time remains. If a
flashing LOW BATT is accompanied by an audio beep at the end of each trace, the batteryhas approximately one minute of useable time remaining.

The battery status can also be checked by pressing the SYS key and the STATUS soft key.
The Status table will display the remaining battery charge as a percent, as shown below.
Once all the power has drained from the battery, the Site Master display will fade. At this
point, your Site Master will switch itself off and the battery will need to be recharged.
Discharging the NiMH Battery
The NiMH battery will last longer and perform better if allowed to completely discharge
before recharging. For maximum battery life, it is recommended that the NiMH battery be
completely discharged and recharged once every three months.
To discharge the battery, leave the Site Master switched on until the battery is drained. The
Site Master will display a LOW BATT message and an audio warning when the battery be-
gins to run low. Allow the battery to fully discharge until the Site Master switches itself off.
NOTE:Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means. Never short-circuitthe battery terminals.
Battery Life
It is normal for NiMH batteries to self-discharge during storage. To minimize battery dis-
charge during storage, it is recommended that the battery be removed from the Site Master
if the Site Master is not to be used for a long period of time.
It is normal for NiMH battery to degrade to 80% of original capacity after 12 months ofcontinuous use.
The battery can be charged and discharged 300 to 500 times, but it will eventually wear out.
The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between charging is notice-
ably shorter than normal.

With a new NiMH battery, full performance is achieved after three to five complete
charge and discharge cycles.
Use only Anritsu approved battery packs.
Recharge the battery only in the Site Master or in an Anritsu approved charger.
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.
Discharge an NiMH battery from time to time to improve battery performance and bat-
tery 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 is notice-
ably shorter than normal.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
Do not drop, mutilate or attempt to disassemble the battery.
Never use a damaged or worn out charger or battery.
Always use the battery for its intended purpose only.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of the battery to charge: allow the battery to
cool down or warm up as necessary before use or charging.
Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not place batteries in garbage.

Functions and Operations
Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Site Master functions and operations, provid-
ing the user with a starting point for making basic measurements. For more detailed infor-
mation, refer to Chapter 4, Measurements and Chapter 5, Software Tools.
The Site Master is designed specifically for field environments and applications requiring
mobility. As such, it is a lightweight, handheld, battery operated unit which can be easily
carried to any location, and is capable of up to 2.5 hours of continuous operation from a
fully charged battery. Built-in energy conservation features allow battery life to be extended
over an eight-hour workday. The Site Master can also be powered by a 12.5 Vdc external
source. The external source can be either the Anritsu AC-DC Adapter (P/N 40-115) or 12.5Vdc Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter (P/N 806-62). Both items are standard accesso-
ries.
Front Panel Overview
The Site Master menu-driven user interface is easy to use and requires little training. Mode,
Frequency, Amplitude and Sweep function keys are located just below the display and are
easily configured for optimum measurements. Selection of one of these keys brings up a
function-specific menu on the right hand side of the display. The softkeys adjacent to the
display provide access to the various menu items (See Figure 3- 1).

NOTE: Using windowing:
The theoretical requirement for inverse FFT is for the data to extend from zerofrequency to infinity. Side lobes appear around a discontinuity due to the factthat the spectrum is cut off at a finite frequency. Windowing reduces the side
lobes by smoothing out the sharp transitions at the beginning and end of thefrequency sweep. As the side lobes are reduced the main lobe widens thereby
reducing the resolution.
In situations where there may be a small discontinuity close to a large one, sidelobe reduction Windowing should be used. When distance resolution is criticalWindowing can be reduced. The types of Windowing in order of increasing side
lobe reduction are: rectangular, nominal side lobe, low side lobe, minimum sidelobe. Figures3-9 thru 3-12, on pages3-13and3-14, are examples of the types
of Windowing.

Measurements
IntroductionThis chapter provides a description of the Site Master measurement functions and examples
of frequency domain, distance domain, and two-port (insertion gain or loss) measurements.
Measurement Functions
Site Master operation is divided into four measurement modes: frequency domain, distance
domain, two-port, and power monitor.
Frequency domain measurements consist of Return Loss (RL), Standing Wave Ratio
(SWR), and Cable Loss (CL) made over a selectable frequency range. SWR and RL char-
acterize the magnitude of reflections present in a device or transmission line. CL mea-surements display the insertion loss of a transmission line over frequency.
Distance domain measurementscommonly known as distance-to-fault (DTF)are
made over a selectable distance range. They include RL or SWR, but they also return in-
formation that can help locate discontinuities in a transmission line. CL cannot be meas-
ured in the distance domain.
Two-port transmission gain or loss measurement is commonly known as S21 or through
measurement. The gain or loss measurement is made over a selectable frequency range
and the magnitude in dB characterizes the performance of the device under test. Gain and
loss measurement includes Tower Mount Amplifier (TMA) verification, an-
tenna-to-antenna isolation, and duplexer filter rejection and isolation.
Power monitor measurements can be either absolute or relative to some base power level,
and can be displayed in either dBm or Watts. To allow measurement and display of
power levels above the unit's specified input, the user may attenuate the signal and enter
the corresponding offset. The offset is added to the measured input power prior to dis-
play. Finally, a zero adjust function is provided to allow subtraction of an inherent
noise level prior to display.
CAUTION:The measurement system MUST be calibrated at the ambient tem-perature prior to making a measurement. You must calibrate when the setup
frequency is changed. Calibrations are stored with each of the setups.
It is recommended that the appropriate calibration, (open-short-load or
open-short-load-thru) be performed on the Site Master prior to measurements. This gives
confidence to the operator that the measurement performed is accurate and system uncer-
tainties have been minimized.

Power On Procedure
The Site Master is designed specifically for field environments and applications requiring
mobility. As such, it is a lightweight, handheld, battery operated unit which can be easily
carried to any location, and is capable of up to 2.5 hours of continuous operation from a
fully charged battery. Built-in energy conservation features allow battery life to be extended
over an eight-hour workday. The Site Master can also be powered by a 12.5 Vdc externalsource. The external source can be either the Anritsu AC-DC Adapter (P/N 40-115) or 12.5
Vdc Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter (P/N 806-62) provided.
Step 1. Press the ON/OFF key.
The Site Master takes about five seconds to perform a series of self-diagnostic
and adjustment routines. At completion, the screen displays the Anritsu logo, the
model number, and the version of firmware installed.
Step 2. Press ENTER to continue, or wait for one minute.
The Site Master is now ready for operation.
Calibration Procedure
The following procedure provides the steps necessary to perform Open-Short-Load (OSL)
and Open-Short-Load-Thru (OSLT) calibrations. Calibration is done with the maximum
517 data points and is valid for 130 and 259 data point settings (default is 259). Refer to
Figure 4-1 for setup.
Step 1. Press the MODE key.
Step 2. Use the Up/Down arrow key to scroll to FREQ - SWR or RETURN LOSS for
OSL calibration; or scroll to INSERTION LOSS (+6 dBm) or INSERTION GAIN
(30 dBm) measurement mode for OSLT calibration..
