General Information

Introduction

This chapter provides a description, performance specifications, optional accessories, pre-

ventive maintenance, and calibration requirements for the Site Master models S113C,

S114C, S331C, and S332C. Throughout this manual, the term Site Master will refer to the

models S113C, S114C, S331C, and S332C.

Description

The Site Master is a hand held SWR/RL (standing wave ratio/return loss), and Distance-To-

Fault (DTF) measurement instrument that includes a built-in synthesized signal source. All

models include a keypad to enter data and a liquid crystal display (LCD) to provide graphic

indications of SWR or RL over the selected frequency range and 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 conser-

vation 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 cable insertion loss and lo-

cating faulty RF components in antenna systems. Power monitoring is available as an op-

tion. Site Master models S114C and S332C include spectrum analysis capability. The

displayed trace can be scaled or enhanced with frequency markers or limit lines. 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 Windowsä95/98/NT4/2000/ME workstation graphic. Measurements stored in

the Site Master internal memory can be downloaded to the PC using the included null-mo-

dem serial cable. 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 can display all of the measurements made with the

Site Master (SWR, return loss, cable loss, distance-to-fault) as well as providing other func-

tions, such as converting display modes and Smith charts. Refer to Chapter 7, Software

Tools, for more information.
