Safety & Environmental Information
Ventilation
Ventilation
Location and Mounting
Install the instrument so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable
and is easily reached by the operator.
The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It
disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other parts of the
instrument. (The front panel switch is only a standby switch and is not a LINE
switch.)
Alternatively, an externally installed switch or circuit breaker (which is readily
identifiable and is easily reached by the operator) may be used as a
disconnecting device.
Consider ergonomics when locating any keyboard or mouse which will be used
in connection with the instrument.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: When installing the instrument(s) into a
cabinet, consideration shall be given to the convection flow into and out of the
cabinet. Consideration shall also be given to the individual instruments to avoid
having the heated discharge of one instrument, now becoming the cooling
intake air for another instrument.
Another area of concern is verification that the maximum ambient operating
temperature of the instrument(s) is not exceeded by cabinet installation.
Keysight recommends forced air convection whenever an instrument(s) are
installed in a cabinet and further recommends that the maximum operating
temperature of the cabinet be reduced 10°C from the lowest, of the maximum
operating temperature of a single instrument.
If there are any concerns or special requirements an Keysight Field Engineer
should be consulted to assure instrument(s) temperature compliance and
performance.

Power requirements
Power requirements
Line voltage does not need to be selected.
This test set does not contain customer serviceable fuses.
This is a Safety Class 1 Product (provided with a protective earthing ground
incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be inserted in a
socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of the
protective conductor inside or outside of the product is likely to make the
product dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Failure to ground the test set properly can result in personal injury. Before
turning on the test set, you must connect its protective earth terminals to the
protective conductor of the main power cable. Insert the main power cable plug
into a socket outlet that has a protective earth contact only. DO NOT defeat the
earth-grounding protection by using an extension cable, power cable, or
autotransformer without a protective ground conductor.
The Mains wiring and connectors shall be compatible with the connector used in
the premise electrical system. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by
not using the correct components may cause product damage, and serious
injury.
This instrument has autoranging line voltage input. Before switching on the
instrument, be sure the supply voltage is within the specified range and voltage
fluctuations do not exceed 10 percent of the nominal supply voltage.

16 Getting Started Guide
Safety & Environmental Information
Using Accessories
AC power cord
The test set is equipped with a three-wire power cord, in accordance with
international safety standards. This cable grounds the test set cabinet when
connected to an appropriate power line outlet. Use the Keysight supplied
power cord, or one with the same or better electrical rating. The cable
appropriate to the original shipping location is included with the test set. See:
http://www.keysight.com/find/powercords
Using Accessories
For limitations on cable usage, see “Input/Output Cables” on page 23.
Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with this product. Failure to
ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord can cause product
damage.
This instrument has auto-ranging line voltage input; be sure the supply voltage
is within the specified range and voltage fluctuations do not to exceed 10
percent of the nominal supply voltage:
100/120 VAC 50/60 Hz, 600 W MAX
220/240 VAC 50/60 Hz, 600 W MAX
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal condition
(in which all means for protection are intact) only.
Install the instrument so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable
and easily reached by the operator. The detachable power cord is the
instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits from the
mains supply before other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only
a standby switch and is not a LINE switch. Alternatively, an externally installed
switch or circuit breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by
the operator) may be used as a disconnecting device.

— Width: 425 mm
— Depth: 555 mm
Protecting against electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components
(the possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever
components are transported, stored, or used).
Test equipment and ESD
To help reduce ESD damage that can occur while using test equipment:
• Before connecting any coaxial cable to a test set connector for the first time
each day, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together.
• Personnel should be grounded with a 1 MΩresistor-isolated wrist-strap
before touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any
assembly from the test set.
• Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent
build-up of static charge.
• Perform work on all components or assemblies at a static-safe workstation.
• Keep static-generating materials at least one meter away from all
components.
• Store or transport components in static-shielding containers.
• Always handle printed circuit board assemblies by the edges. This reduces
the possibility of ESD damage to components and prevent contamination of
exposed plating.
Additional information about ESD
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD damage, contact the
Electrostatic Discharge Association (http://www.esda.org). The ESD standards
developed by this agency are sanctioned by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Do not use these first three techniques when working on circuitry with a voltage
potential greater than 500 volts.

Introduction
Introduction
The E7760B Wideband Transceiver is a test set which generates and measures
high-frequency signals used in 5G testing.
The E7760B features two IFIO ports (6-18 GHz) and six mmWave ports (24-44
GHz). The mmWave ports are designed to connect with a test head, such as
the M1740A mmWave Transceiver (~28 GHz); these test heads are purchased
separately from the E7760B.
The photo below illustrates a common setup of the E7760B and its hardware
accessories: the test set is connected to an M1740A mmWave transceiver, a
monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse.
