Getting Started

Screw the angle connector of the antenna connection into the upper-
most right socket of the HF analyser. It is sufficient to tighten the con-
nection with your fingers. (Do not use a wrench or other tools because
over tightening may damage the threads). This SMA connector with its
gold-plated contacts is the highest quality commercial HF connector
available in that size.
At the tip of the antenna, there are two LEDs for monitoring the proper
function of all connections of the antenna and the cable during opera-
tion. The red LED checks the cable, the green one the antenna itself,
both ok if the LEDs are lit.
Slide the antenna into the vertical/cross shaped slot at the rounded top
end of the HF analyser. Make sure the antenna cable has no tension
and lies below the instrument. It may help to loosen the SMA-connector
temporarily to let the cable fall into a "relaxed" position.
Do not bend or stretch the antenna cable!
Both ends of the antenna cable are equipped with small ferrite-rolls to
improve the antenna characteristics. Do not remove them!
The connection of the omni-antenna UBB27 (available as optional
accessory for the HF59B, but included in the HFE59B-kit) is described
in the respective manual.

Checking Battery Status

If the "Low Batt" indicator appears in the center of the display, meas-
urement values are no longer reliable. In this case, the battery needs
to be charged.
If there is no display at all upon switching the analyser on, check the
connections of the rechargeable battery. If that does not help try to in-
sert a regular 9 Volt alkaline (non-rechargeable) battery (see chapter
on battery change). Caution: make sure NOT to connect the analyser
to a power supply unit/AC adaptor while temporarily operating it with a
non-rechargeable battery!
Insert fully charged batteries only.
Note
Each time you make a new selection (e.g. switching to another meas-
urement range), the display will systematically overreact for a moment
and show higher values which will, however, droop down within a cou-
ple of seconds.
The instrument is now ready for use.
In the next chapter you will find the basics for true, accurate
HF-measurement.
