Chapter 1
General Information
Introduction
This chapter provides a description, performance specifications, optional accessories,
preventive maintenance, and calibration requirements for the Site Master™ model S331D.
Throughout this manual, the term Site Master will refer to the S331D.
Model Frequency Range
S331D Cable and Antenna Analyzer Mode: 25 to 4000 MHz
Description
The Site Master is a handheld cable and antenna analyzer designed for installers,
contractors, and wireless service providers who need a portable and rugged cable and
antenna analyzer.
It is designed for measuring Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, of cable and antenna systems
from 25 MHz to 4 GHz. Integrated Distance-To-Fault measurement can be used to locate
the precise location of a fault within the feedline system. Options available with the S331D
include High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 19) and Power Monitor (Option 5).
The Site Master is capable of up to 1.5 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged
field-replaceble battery and can be operated from a 12.5 Vdc source. Built-in energy con-
servation features can be used to extend the battery life.
A standard 640*480 color TFT display provide graphic indications of various measure-
ments. The displayed trace can be scaled or enhanced with frequency markers and limit
lines. A menu option provides for an audible "beep" when the limit value is exceeded.

Standard Accessories
The Handheld Software Tools and Master Software Tools PC-based software programs
provide a database record for storing measurement data. Software Tools can also convert
the Site Master display to a Microsoft Windowsäworkstation graphic. Measurements
stored in the Site Master internal memory can be downloaded to the PC using the included
null-modem serial cable. Once stored, the graphic trace can be displayed, scaled, or en-
hanced with markers and limit lines. Historical graphs can be overlaid with current data,
and underlying data can be extracted and used in spreadsheets or for other analytical tasks.
The Handheld Software Tools program can display measurements made with the Site
Master (SWR, return loss, cable loss, distance-to-fault) as well as providing other functions,
such as converting display modes and Smith charts. Refer to Chapter 7, Handheld Software
Tools, for more information.
