Safety Considerations

Check Signal Generator Functionality

Use the following procedure to confirm that the signal generator powers up and the internal check

identifies no errors. The internal check evaluates the operation of the signal generator and returns

an error message if it detects a problem.

1. Turn on the signal generator and let it warm up for at least five minutes.

2. Run the signal generator self-test by pressing Utility > Instrument Info/Help Mode > Self

Test > Run Complete Self Test. Upon completion, a summary of the self-test will be

displayed. Use the E8257D/67D, E8663D PSG Service Guide to troubleshoot any failures

detected by the test.

3. Check to see if the ERR annunciator is on.

—If the ERR annunciator is on, review the error messages in the error queue by pressing

Utility > Error Info. The first page of error messages in the error queue appears in the

display text area. (Refer to the signal generator error messages document for information

about each error message.)

After resolving all problems causing errors, press Clear Error Queue(s).

—If the ERR annunciator is off, the signal generator functionality check has passed.

Before you disassemble the instrument, turn the power switch off and unplug the

signal generator. Failure to unplug the signal generator can result in personal

injury.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All

work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation.

When the signal generator is first connected to ac line power, the error message

ERROR 514, Reference Oven Cold occurs which causes both the OVEN

COLD annunciator and the ERR annunciator to turn on.

After approximately five minutes, the OVEN COLD annunciator automatically

clears, but the ERR annunciator remains on until all errors are cleared from the

error queue.

Some circuits may require up to 50 minutes to warm up before passing the

self-test. If self-tests continue to fail after 50 minutes of warm up, troubleshoot

the instrument.

Install Option 1E1 (Instruments with Front Panel RF Output)

For instruments with rear panel RF output (Option 1EM), go to page 12.

1. Position the signal generator with the A31 Motherboard facing you and the RF deck on top.

2. Using a 5/16” open wrench, remove the semi-rigid RF cable connecting the A23 Coupler

Detector to the RF output connector.

3. Refer to Figure 3. Position the attenuator so it can be attached to the RF deck.

4. Using the T-10 driver, insert the two screws (1) through the side deck into the metal bracket

that is attached to the attenuator. Torque these screws to 9 in-lbs.

5. Using the 5/16” open ended wrench, attach the semi-rigid cable, according to the signal

generator you have, between the A23 Coupler Detector output connector and the attenuator

input connector; torque to 8 in-lbs.

—Option 532/540: W24 (E8251-20579)

—Option 550/567: W117 (E8251-20319)

6. Using the 5/16” open ended wrench, attach the semi-rigid cable, according to the signal

generator you have, between the attenuator and the RF Output connector; torque to 8 in-lbs.

—Option 513/520: W86 (E8251-20581)

—Option 532/540: W25 (E8251-20582)

—Option 550: W123 (E8251-20582)

—Option 567: W92 (E9251-20321)

7. Install AT1W1 ribbon cable to A26J13.

8. Refer to Figure 3. Install the cable clip 1400-3228 to the attenuator body and clamp AT1W1

ribbon cable as shown.

Write down the serial number for the new attenuator.
