Safety Precautions
Remove Power
Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with
the power on.
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible safety earth ground must be supplied from the
main power source to the instrument. Grounding one conductor of a
two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury
or death can occur if this grounding is not properly installed.
Safety Symbols
WARNING
Warning notes call attention to a procedure, which if not correctly
performed, could result in personal injury.
CAUTION
Caution notes call attention to a procedure, which if not correctly
performed, could result in damage to the instrument.
The caution symbol appears on the equipment indicating
there is important information in the instruction manual
regarding that particular area. See page 75 for specific
cautions.
WARNING
This equipment should not be connected to an antenna or operated
during a storm that has the potential to produce lightning.
The possibility exists for electrical shock.
WARNING
When using the ac adapter, only connect the plug to a properly
grounded receptacle. Serious injury or death can occur if grounding
is not properly installed.
Caution Statements
The following equipment cautions appear in the text and are repeated
here for emphasis.
CAUTION
Harsh or abrasive detergents, and some solvents, can damage the
display unit and information on the labels.
CAUTION
Always turn off the SA before connecting or disconnecting a sensor.
CAUTION
When using a Bird 5011 or 5011-EF, do not exceed 2 W average or
125 W peak power for 5 s.
Doing so will render the sensor inoperative.
CAUTION
+22 dBm max. input
Do not apply RF power to Antenna Test Port. Exceeding the
maximum input will damage the Site Analyzer.

CAUTION
Always turn off the SA before connecting or
disconnecting a sensor.
CAUTION
+22 dBm max. input
Do not apply RF power to Antenna Test Port. Exceeding
the maximum input will damage the Site Analyzer.
CAUTION
When using a Bird 5011 or 5011-EF, do not exceed 2 W
average or 125 W peak power for 5 s. Doing so will
render the sensor inoperative.
The antenna test port is only used for testing
unpowered systems. For power measurement, an
external power sensor connected to the Remote Power
Sensor port must be used.
Although unlikely, it is possible to corrupt the power
sensor firmware by connecting it to the Site Analyzer
while the SA is on. To prevent this, turn the SA off
before connecting or disconnecting a sensor.
Use a 9-pin serial cable to connect a power sensor to
the Site Analyzers serial port, labeled Remote Power
Sensor (see Connectors on page 111). When a sensor
is properly connected, the status message will change
from Waiting for Sensor to Sensor Connected. The
warning screen will be replaced by the main display.
For best results with element-based sensors such as
the Bird 5010, connect the sensor and enter the
forward elements power rating before taking any data
(see Setting the Full Scale Power on page 77).

FM Modulation
The Bird Site Analyzer uses FM modulation to
improve its immunity to interfering signals. Under
certain circumstances, such as while making cable loss
or other high reflection measurements with long
cables, FM modulation may reduce signal quality. In
that case, the modulation should be turned off.
