Chapter 1
General Information
Introduction
This chapter provides a description, performance specifications, optional accessories, pre-
ventive maintenance, and calibration requirements for the Site Master™ models S331D and
S332D. Throughout this manual, the term Site Master will refer to the S331D and S332D.
Model Frequency Range
S331D
S332D
Cable and Antenna Analyzer Mode: 25 to 4000 MHz
Cable and Antenna Analyzer Mode: 25 to 4000 MHz
Spectrum Analyzer Mode: 100 kHz to 3000 MHz
Description
The Site Master model S331D is a hand held cable and antenna analyzer. The Site Master
model S332D is a handheld cable, antenna, and spectrum analyzer. Both models include a
keypad to enter data and a standard daylight-viewable color TFT display to provide graphic
indications of various measurements.
The Site Master is capable of up to 1.5 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged
field-replaceable battery and can be operated from a 12.5 Vdc source. Built-in energy con-
servation features can be used to extend battery life.
The Site Master is designed for measuring Return Loss, SWR, and Cable Loss of cable and
antenna systems from 25 MHz to 4 GHz. Option 2 and Option 16 extend the frequency
range of the cable and antenna analyzer to 2 MHz and 6 GHz respectively. Dis-
tance-To-Fault (DTF) measurements can be used to locate the precise location of a fault
within the feedline system. The Site Master model S332D includes Spectrum Analysis (100
kHz - 3 GHz) and has dedicated routines for common one-button measurements. Options
available with the S331D or S332D include 2-port Transmission Measurements, Bias Tee,
narrow band or wide band power meter, Channel Scanner, Interference Analyzer, GPS, and
T1/E1 Analyzer measurements.
The displayed trace can be scaled or enhanced with frequency markers or limit lines. A
menu option provides for an audible “beep” when the limit value is exceeded. To permit
use in low-light environments, the LCD contrast and backlight intensity can be adjusted.
Standard Accessories
The Handheld Software Tools PC-based software program provides a database record for
storing measurement data. Software Tools can also convert the Site Master display to a
Microsoft Windowsä95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP workstation 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.
1-1

The Handheld Software Tools program can display measurements made with the Site Mas-
ter (SWR, return loss, cable loss, distance-to-fault, field strength, occupied bandwidth,
channel power, adjacent channel power and interference analysis) as well as providing
other functions, such as converting display modes and Smith charts. Refer to Chapter 11,
Handheld Software Tools, for more information.
