Safety NotesThe following safety notes are used throughout this document. Familiarize yourself witheach of these notes and its meaning before performing any of the procedures in thisdocument.WARNINGWarning denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedurewhich, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result ininjury or loss of life. Do not proceed beyond a warning noteuntil the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.CAUTIONCaution denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if notcorrectly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to ordestruction of the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution signuntil the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.Definitions Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty(temperature –0 to 55 C, unless otherwise noted.) Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by theproduct warranty. It is performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibitwith a 95% confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 C. Typicalperformance does not include measurement uncertainty. Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that isuseful in the application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty. Characteristic Performance describes performance parameter that the product isexpected to meet before it leaves the factory, but is not verified in the field and is notcovered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guard bands as aspecification.iii

87050A Option K24DescriptionDescriptionThe Agilent 87050A Option K24 Multiport Mechanical Switching Test Set is designed foruse with 50 Ω network analyzers such as the Agilent PNA E8362B, PNA-L N5230A,8719D/E, 8720D/E, 8722D/E and 8753D/E.The Test Set provides the ability to make single connection, multiple measurements ofmultiport devices with up to 24 ports, such as distribution amplifiers, taps, switches andcouplers. Throughput is increased by reducing the number of device reconnects theoperator must perform. Switching is performed with mechanical switches.The test set can be controlled by using an external GPIB controller, or parallel controlNOTEThis User’s and Service Guide documents the use of the test set with anAgilent 8720D or the PNA E8362B.87050A Option K24 OptionsUK6Option UK6 provides a commercial calibration certificate including actual test data. Dataincludes test results of 95 tests including reflection, transmission, and isolation from alltest ports.Rack Ear MountsOption 908 (5062-3974) provides rack mounts that make it quick and easy to install orremove the test set from a mainframe.For further information on these options please contact Agilent Technologies.

87050A Option K24General SpecificationsPower RequirementsNOTERefer to your network analyzer documentation for specifications and powerrequirements.Verify that the required ac power is available at all necessary locations before installingthe Test Set to the PNA. Air conditioning equipment (or other motor–operated equipment) should not be placedon the same ac line that powers the Test Set and PNA. The line power module on your test set is an autoranging input. Ensure that the available ac power source meets the following requirements:—100/120/220/240 Vac— 50/60 Hz— 40 WattsSpecifications for the 87050A Mechanical Switching Multiport Test Set are characteristicsfor the system performance of the PNA and test set. Actual performance of the system isbased on the customers PNA that is used with the test set.WARNINGThis is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthingground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall beinserted only into a socket outlet provided with a protective earthcontact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside oroutside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.Intentional interruption is prohibited.CAUTIONThis product has an autoranging line voltage input. Be sure the supplyvoltage is within the specified range. If the ac line voltage does not fall withinthese ranges, an autotransformer that provides third wire continuity to earthground should be used.User’s and Service Guide5
