ITEM DESCRIPTION
1. CHARGE Indicator
LED indicates the charger is active (ac applied with Test Set Off). Red indicates when
battery is charging and green indicates battery is more than 80% charged.
2. SYNC Connector (J10055)
BNC type connector provides Oscilloscope Sync. Long pulse goes from low to high
before an interrogation and from high to low before an expected reply.
3. COMM Connector (J10053)
LEMO type connector provides for remote 4-line serial communication (with Option 1
installed) and includes the signals TRANSMIT, RECEIVE, DTR and CTS. The COMM
Connector provides data dump output capability with or without Option 1 installed. Refer
to COMM Connector Pin-Out Table in Appendix A.
4. SETUP Key
Enters Setup Menus onto the DISPLAY.
5. FUSES
Provide safe operation with ac input power applied to the ATC-601. Refer to Appendix F
for correct fuse size and type.
6. SELF TEST Key
Enters Self Test screen onto the DISPLAY.
7. AC PWR Connector (J10050)
Provides the input for an external ac power source (100 to 120 VAC at 60 Hz or 220 to
240 VAC at 50 Hz) for recharging the battery or operating the Test Set. The operating
voltage range depends on the Line Supply Switch Setting, only serviceable by a qualified
technician. Refer to Battery/Voltage Instructions in the ATC-601-2 Operation Manual.
8. SLEW Keys
Used to:
OAdjust values and parameters in Setup Menus.
OSelect Signal Type in Diagnostics screen.
OAdjust values in Diagnostics screen.
OSelect antenna to be tested in Power Test.
Variable slew rates are available, depending on item being edited. Keeping SLEW Key
pressed provides greater rate of change, in most instances, than pressing and releasing.
9. RUN/STOP Key
Starts or stops testing.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
10. SELECT Keys
Used to select:
OTest to perform in Single Test.
OItems to edit in Setup Menus.
OAntenna to be tested in Power Test.
ODiagnostics screen menu from Self Test screen.
11. POWER Key
Applies power to the Test Set; push On (I) or push Off (O).
NOTE: When operating on battery power, an internal automatic time-out removes power
from the Test Set following 15 minutes of no key activity.
12. PWR TEST Key
Enters Power Test screen onto the DISPLAY.
13. AUTO TEST Key
Enters Auto Test screen onto the DISPLAY.
14. DISPLAY
LCD readout displays various test screens.
15. RF I/O Connector (J10058)
CAUTION: MAXIMUM INPUT POWER MUST NOT EXCEED +59 dBm (800 W).
TNC type connector provides for RF input and output when directly connected with the
UUT (Direct Connect).
16. ANTENNA Connector (J10057)
CAUTION: DO NOT TRANSMIT DIRECTLY INTO ANTENNA TERMINAL. MAXIMUM
OVER-THE-AIR INPUT POWER MUST NOT EXCEED 1/2 W.
BNC type connector is used with the Test Set Antenna (Flat Antenna or Flexible
Antenna). Over-the-air testing of the UUT is accomplished through the ANTENNA
connector. The connector cover, when attached, provides the 50 Ωload required when
connecting the RF I/O Connector to the UUT (Direct Connect) or running the Self Test.
17. REPLY VIDEO Connector (J10054)
BNC type connector provides demodulated (detected) reply (only when direct connection
with UUT is used) for use with an Oscilloscope.
18. INTERR Indicator
Illuminates when Test Set is generating an interrogation signal.
19. MONITOR Connector (J10056)
BNC type connector provides interrogation and reply pulses clipped at 50% amplitude
point to preserve pulse shape.
20. REPLY Indicator
Illuminates when the Test Set receives a valid reply signal.
