Preparing the Analyzer for Use This chapter contains instructions for inspecting and installing the Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer. This chapter also includes instructions for cleaning the screen, transporting and storing the analyzer. DC Power Requirements The analyzer can operate from a dc power source supplying a true range of 10.8 to 30[...]

DC Power Cable and Grounding Requirements The negative side of the dc input connector is not connected to chassis ground. In dc mode operation, the chassis will float. The chassis ground lug on the rear panel and the negative side of the dc input connector should both be connected to a known reference potential. Two dc power cables are available—[...]

*The number shown for the plug is the industry identifier for the plug only, the number shown for the cable is an HP part number for a complete cable including the plug. **UL listed for use in the United States of America. Warning The power cable plug must be inserted into an outlet provided with a protective earth terminal. Defeating the protectio[...]

To do the incoming inspection The Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer was carefully inspected both mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks or scratches, and it should meet its published specifications upon receipt. • Inspect the analyzer for physical damage incurred in transit. If the analyzer was damaged in t[...]

• Check that the correct fuses are installed in the fuse holders. An 8 amp, 250 volt, normal blow fuse is required for ac operation. A 30 amp, 32 volt, normal blow fuse is required for dc operation. Both fuses are installed at the factory. For instructions on removing the fuses or fuse part numbers, see ‘’To change the fuses.’’ • Using [...]

To install the analyzer The analyzer is shipped with rubber feet and bail handle in place, ready for use as a portable or bench analyzer. • Install the analyzer to allow free circulation of cooling air. Cooling air enters the analyzer through the right side and exhausts through the left side and rear panel. • To install the analyzer in an equip[...]

To connect the analyzer to a dc power source In applications requiring a portable dc power source, use a properly protected dc power system. The dc system should contain a deep cycle battery rather than a standard automobile battery. A standard automobile battery will fail prematurely if repeatedly discharged. Also, select a battery that provides t[...]

• Turn on the dc power source. If the dc power source is supplied by an automobile, start the automobile. The automobile must be running to provide adequate dc power. Warning The tip of the cigarette lighter adapter may get hot during use. After unpluging the adapter, be careful of the heat from the adapter’s tip. • Set the analyzer’s power[...]

To change the fuses Both fuses are installed at the factory. • Unplug the power cord from the analyzer. • Press in and turn the appropriate fuse holder cap counter-clockwise (use a small screw driver for the ac fuse). Remove when the fuse cap is free from the housing. • Pull the fuse from the fuse holder cap. • To reinstall, select the prop[...]

To connect the analyzer to a serial device The Serial Port is a 9-pin, EIA-574 port that is only available using option 1C2, Instrument Basic.

Part Number Cable Description HP[...]

To connect the analyzer to an GPIB device The analyzer is compatible with the Agilent Technologies Interface Bus (GPIB). The GPIB is Agilent Technologies’s implementation of IEEE Standard 488.1. Total allowable transmission path length is 2 meters times the number of devices or 20 meters, whichever is less. Operating distances can be extended usi[...]

To connect the analyzer to an external monitor The External Monitor connector is a 9-pin D female miniature connector that can interface with an external, multisync monitor. The monitor must be compatible with the 24.8 kHz line rate, 55 Hz frame rate, and TTL signals provided by the Agilent 35670A. A SONY CPD-1302 monitor and a NEC Multisync 3D mon[...]

To connect the optional keyboard The analyzer may be connected to an optional external keyboard. The keyboard remains active even when the analyzer is not in alpha entry mode. This means that you can operate the analyzer using the external keyboard rather than the front panel. Pressing the appropriate keyboard key does the same thing as pressing a [...]

• Connect the other end of the keyboard cable to the keyboard. Caution In addition to the U.S. English keyboard, the Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer supports U.K. English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish. Use only the Agilent Technologies approved keyboard for this product. Agilent Technologies does not warrant damage or perf[...]

To connect the microphone adapter The Microphone Adapter and Power Supply (option UK4) simplifies microphone connections. The mic connector on the analyzer’s front panel provides 8 Vdc to power the adapter. The adapter’s internal power supply uses a step-up converter to provide 28 V and 200 V on the seven-pin input connectors. The 28 V pins pow[...]

To clean the screen The analyzer’s display is covered with a plastic diffuser screen (this is not removable by the operator). Under normal operating conditions, the only cleaning required will be an occasional dusting. However, if a foreign material adheres itself to the screen, do the following: • Set the power switch to off ( O ). • Remove [...]

To transport the analyzer • Package the analyzer using the original factory packaging or packaging identical to the factory packaging. Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available through Agilent Technologies offices. • If returning the analyzer to Agilent Technologies for service, attach a tag describing [...]

If the analyzer will not power up Check that the power cord is connected to the Agilent 35670A and to a live power source. Check that the front-panel switch is on ( l ). Check that the rear-panel AC/DC power select switch is properly set. Check that the fuse is good. See ‘’To change the fuses’’ on page 2-10. Check that the analyzer’s air [...]

If the analyzer operates intermittently on dc power The analyzer powers down when operating on dc power if no measurement has been made within 30 minutes. Check that the dc power source can supply the required power. The dc power source must have a true range of 10.8 to 30.8 Vdc. At the minimum voltage of 10.8 Vdc, the dc power source must be able [...]
