Descriptions of the keys and menus, along with measurement proce-

dures, are provided in Chapter 2.

First-time users and maintenance supervisors will benefit from perusing

the material in Chapter 1. This chapter describes the instrument and

provides listings of options and performance specifications.

Please Recycle

This product contains a rechargeable nickel-

General Information

Introduction

This chapter provides description, specification, and optional accesso-

ries for the Site Master Series instruments. This series has two mem-

bers, as shown below. Throughout this manual, the term Site Master

will refer to the series; whereas, the terms Site Master S810A and

S818A will refer to the applicable individual models.

Model Frequency Range

S810A 3.3 to 10.5 GHz

S818A 3.3 to 18.0 GHz

Description

The Site Master (Figure 1-1) is a hand held SWR/RL(standing wave

ratio/return loss) and Distance-To-Fault measurement instrument that

includes a built-in synthesized signal source and an optional power

monitor. It uses a keypad to enter data and a liquid crystal display

(LCD) to provide a graphical indication of SWR or RL over the

selected frequency range. The Site Master has a built-in distance-to-

fault capability. The Site Master is capable of up to two hours of con-

tinuous operation from a fully charged internal battery. It can also be

operated from a 12.5 dc source (which will also simultaneously charge

the battery). Built-in energy conservation features can be used to extend

battery life over an eight-hour work day.

The Site Master is designed for measuring SWR, return loss, or coax/

waveguide insertion loss and locating faulty RF components in antenna

systems. Power monitoring capability is available as an option. The

displayed trace can be scaled and/or enhanced with settable frequency

markers and/or a limit line. A menu option provides for an audible
