PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzer System System Installation
N5250A Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
The environmental requirements shown below are characteristic for the system and are based on the
limitations of the E8361C network analyzer used.
System Heating and Cooling
Install air conditioning and heating, if necessary, to maintain the ambient temperature within the appropriate
range (as given in the table above). Air conditioning capacity must be consistent with the BTU ratings given
in Table 3-2 on page 3-6.
Required Conditions for Accuracy Enhanced Measurement
Accuracy-enhanced (error-corrected) measurements require the ambient temperature of the N5250C to be
maintained within ± 1 C of the ambient temperature at calibration.
Table 3-3 Environmental Requirements
Temperature
Operation 5 C to 40 C (41 F to 104 F)
Storage 40 C to +65 C (40 F to +158 F)
Measurement Calibration 20 C to 26 C (68 F to 79 F)
Performance Verification
Temperature must be within 1 C (1.8 F) of the
temperature at which the measurement
calibration was performed.
Relative Humidity Type tested at 95%, +40 C (non-condensing)
Pressure Altitude
Type tested 0 to 4600 meters (~15,000 feet)
