WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL

This product is not specically designed for use in hazardous environments, for example in explosive

atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user

ensures suitable protective measures are taken.

WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL

This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all

supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.

Unused slots in the PXI/LXI chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user

I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety

of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then

additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL

Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.

Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or

sub-assemblies containing these devices:

1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a

wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.

2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and

isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.

3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.

4. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) tted with these devices must be stored and transported in

anti-static bags.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL

Suitably qualied & trained users should ensure that the accompanying documentation is fully read

and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O

signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).

• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or

the combined weight of the modules & chassis.

• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the

chassis and the user I/O signals.

• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.

• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on

the front of the unit.

41-182A Triple 6GHz Solid State Attenuator Functional Diagram

(Default Condition Shown - All Channels Set To 0dB Attenuation)

The 41-182A is a programmable RF attenuator module that has

3 (one slot) or 6 (two slots) channels each capable of inserting a

signal loss of 0 to 31.75dB in 0.25dB steps. The attenuator uses

solid state switches for a long service life and fast operation with

minimum settling time and no signal bounce. The inclusion of

DC blocking reduces the risk of damage to the switches by the

accidental application of DC sources from ampliers or other bias

devices.

The 41-182A is ideal for conditioning signal levels in RF test

systems to ensure equipment is used in its optimal signal level

range. Fast attenuator operating speed ensures minimal system

delays in setting up the required attenuation and a service life

which is independent of the number of operations allows the

sequence of RF tests to be arranged to optimize the life of other

switching components in the system.

The attenuators can be connected in series to increase the

attenuation range available and the high isolation minimizes signal

leakage.

The attenuators can be used for the back to back testing of

devices, providing the ability to condition the signal level between

the two devices. It is also ideal for the conditioning of special to

type signal sources which lack ne level control.

SMA connectors ensure that the attenuators can be used

with standard cabling and the input and output ports are fully

interchangeable.
