5 POWERING PIM 31 UP/DOWN
5.1 Powering UP
PIM 31 test systems power up in a similar fashion to a desktop PC. However,
there is one exception: significant RF power has to be controlled and managed..
For this reason PIM 31 series test systems contain a protection system to protect
the hardware, e.g. prevents unusual on/and off cycles ( e.g. 3 cycles per
second). When used normally, the user will not even recognize that these
protective mechanisms are working.
Preparations for powering up:
Ensure that the main outlet has proper grounding.
Connect the correct power cable to the tester
Connect the power cable to the main outlet
• Switch on the PIM31 main power switch at
the backside of the unit. Allow for a short
delay before switching on front power
button. (This will allow protection circuitry
to enable all PIM 31 modules).
• Push Start Button briefly at the front panel.
The system will boot up automatically and show the user interface in the Field
Mode.
