Before Starting to Use the Unit
When you use the unit, please observe the following notes
listed on the rear of the body.
For you to use it safely
1) When abnormal sounds, abnormal smell and smoke were
confirmed, remove the battery and AC adapter and stop the use.
2) Never use with hands that got wet, because doing so may
cause damage, fire and electric shock to the unit.
3) Never use it under the thunder.There is a possibility of receiving
a thunderbolt.
4) Never use an AC adapter other than the one specified, because
doing so may cause damage to the unit. For static electricity
protection, ground the unit by connecting the three cores if
possible. Not grounding the unit can damage it and the object
measured.
5) Never use a battery other than the one specified, because
doing so may cause damage to the unit. When removing or
installing the battery, be sure to do it after you turn off the unit
and disconnect the AC adapter.
6) When replacing the fuse, disconnect the AC adapter, open the
battery cover on the back and remove battery, and then take
sufficient care to perform the replacement. Use 5 A / 250 V
fuse (IEC127-2 sheet 3, slow-blow type).
Never use a fuse not specified because doing so may cause
damage to the unit.

General information regarding the CE marking
HAMEG instruments comply with the regulations of the EMC directive. The conformity test made by HAMEG is based on the actual
generic- and product standards. In cases where different limit values are applicable, HAMEG applies the severer standard. For
emission the limits for residential, commercial and light industry are applied. Regarding the immunity (susceptibility) the limits for
industrial environment have been used.
The measuring- and data lines of the instrument have much influence on emmission and immunity and therefore on meeting the
acceptance limits. For different applications the lines and/or cables used may be different. For measurement operation the following
hints and conditions regarding emission and immunity should be observed:
1. Data cables
For the connection between instruments resp. their interfaces and external devices, (computer, printer etc.) sufficiently screened
cables must be used. Without a special instruction in the manual for a reduced cable length, the maximum cable length of a dataline
must be less than 3 meters and not be used outside buildings. If an interface has several connectors only one connector must have
a connection to a cable.
Basically interconnections must have a double screening. For IEEE-bus purposes the double screened cables HZ72S and HZ72L
from HAMEG are suitable.
2. Signal cables
Basically test leads for signal interconnection between test point and instrument should be as short as possible. Without instruction
in the manual for a shorter length, signal lines must be less than 3 meters and not be used outside buildings.
Signal lines must screened (coaxial cable - RG58/U). A proper ground connection is required. In combination with signal generators
double screened cables (RG223/U, RG214/U) must be used.
3. Influence on measuring instruments.
Under the presence of strong high frequency electric or magnetic fields, even with careful setup of the measuring equipment an
influence of such signals is unavoidable.
This will not cause damage or put the instrument out of operation. Small deviations of the measuring value (reading) exceeding the
instruments specifications may result from such conditions in individual cases.
4. RF immunity of Spectrum Analyser
4.1 Electromagnetic RF field
Although the interior of the spectrum analyser is screened by the cabinet, the influence of electromagnetic RF fields may become
visible, if the field intensity under the present environmental condition is high. The device under test as well as the measuring cable
may also receive such signals.

1. Outlines
1.1 Product outlines
HM5033 is an authentic spectrum analyzer providing
performance and functions that are comparable to those of large-
size bench type equipment, in a compact, lightweight and
inexpensive model.
1) Compact and lightweight, 1.7 kg
The external dimensions are as small as 162 (W) × 70 (H) ×
260 (D) (mm), and the weight is only 1.7 kg including the
battery. It is very convenient for outdoor use and while on
business trips.
2) Measuring frequency bandwidth 50 kHz to 3.3 GHz
This bandwidth covers those of W-CDMA, CDMA, PDC, PHS,
GSM, 2.4 GHz band wireless LAN, Bluetooth, etc.
3) Operation with battery for 120 minutes
When battery MB300 is fully charged, HM5033 works for about
120 minutes (with the backlight turned off). It is extremely
convenient for outdoor use and for use in the survey of wireless
LAN installation environment.
4) Performance that is comparable to that of large-size bench
type equipment
HM5033 guarantees a highly stable frequency axis by PLL
synthesizer system. The center frequency setup resolution is
100 kHz. Furthermore, the mean noise level is -110 dBm or less.
Thus, a broad dynamic range is secured and the reference level
can be set in 1 dB steps.
5) Abundant functions
Measuring functions: Channel power measurement,
Adjacent channel leakage power measurement, Occupied
frequency bandwidth measurement, Electric field strength
measurement.
Electric field strength measurement: Optimum for
measurement of cellular phone and wireless LAN working
environment.
Magnetic field strength measurement: Optimum for EMI
design of printed circuit boards and for evaluation of signal quality.
Calculation functions: MAX HOLD, MIN HOLD, AVERAGE,
OVER WRITE
Marker & peak search
Save/Load
6) Auto tuning
The center frequency is set at the spectrum of the
maximum level in the 3.3 GHz band, and in addition,
optimum reference level, resolution bandwidth, video
bandwidth and sweep time are set when the AUTO TUNE
key is pressed. This function is very convenient for
measurement of an unknown signal.
7) Auto range motion
The resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and sweep time are
set automatically based on the set frequency span. It is also
possible to set auto range motion only one out of resolution
bandwidth, video bandwidth and sweep time.
8) Hard copy of the image
Connect a printer (optional) and press the [PRINT] key on
HM5033. The image on the screen is printed as it is.
9) High resolution display on the PC screen
The trace is displayed at high resolution, 1001 points in the
horizontal axis, on the PC screen when „PC Software MAS300"
(optional) is used.
