RF Spectrum Analyser
GB
Please read these operating instructions carefully prior
to operating the unit and keep them for later reference.
1 Safety Notes
The unit corresponds to all relevant directives of the
EU and is therefore marked with
.
Caution with high EM radiation
The RF EXPLORER allows to measure
very small signals down to -120 dBm.
Therefore, the antenna inputs are very sensitive and
may be damaged by an excessive radiation even
with the unit switched off. The maximum input
level of +5 dBm must not be exceeded. This level
results e. g. at a distance of approx. 1 m to a micro -
wave oven or at a distance of approx. 10 cm to a
mobile phone.
It is also absolutely necessary to prevent static
discharging via the antennas. For instance, firmly
seize the metal housing by one hand prior to attach-
ing or touching an antenna by the other hand.
– For storage or transport, keep the unit in a metal
box and / or remove the antennas.
– In areas of very high RF radiation connect one
SMA plug each with a 50 Ω terminating resistor to
the antenna jacks.
G
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect it
against dripping water and splash water, high air
humidity and heat (admissible ambient temperature
range 0 – 40 °C).
G
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth, never use
chemicals or water.
G
No guarantee claims for the unit and no liability for
any resulting personal damage or material damage
will be accepted if the unit is used for other pur-
poses than originally intended, if it is not correctly
operated or not repaired in an expert way.
If the unit is to be put out of operation defini-
tively, take it to a local recycling plant for a
disposal which is not harmful to the environ-
ment.
Do not put defective rechargeable batteries into the
household rubbish but take them to a special waste
disposal (e. g. collective container at your retailer).

2 Overview
The RF EXPLORER has been designed to be intuitive
and easy to use. There is no need to read compre-
hensive user manuals to get advantage of its
advanced functionality. Most of the complexity inher-
ent to the spectrum analyser is simplified by the
firmware. For instance, you do not need to adjust the
resolution bandwidth (RGW) each time you select a
different frequency span. Actually, you do not even
need to know what RBW is.

3 Spectrum Analyser Mode
Recharging the battery
After switching on the RF EXPLORER, the display
successively shows two menus with information:
Fig. 2 Info menus
Then the spectrum analyser mode is started automat-
ically:
Fig. 3 Spectrum display
The display shows an X axis and a Y axis, X for the
frequency in MHz and Y for power in dBm. Fig. 3
shows the frequency range from 430.5 MHz to
439.5 MHz and the amplitude (dynamic range) from
-50 dBm to -110 dBm.
Configuration settings such as amplitude reference
and frequency span are preserved between sessions.
The display shows a small marker ▽ which indicates
the peak amplitude in the current frequency span. The
first value states the frequency at this point and the
second value the amplitude.
The display also shows a symbol
for the USB
port (in case of connection to a PC) or a battery sym-
bol
(when the on / off switch is set to ON). To
recharge the internal rechargeable battery, con-
nect the RF-EXPLORER to a USB jack and set the
on/off switch to position ON. Then the USB symbol
and the battery symbol are displayed alternately.
4 Menus
The unit is operated via several menus which are suc-
cessively called with the button MENU. The button
RETURN allows to return from each menu to the
spectrum display.
