5 Safety
5.1 Intended Use
The PA 3010 is used to amplify (weak) measurement signals from connected near-eld probes in the
frequency range from 10 MHz to 10 GHz.
A near-eld probe is connected to the SMA input of the preamplier via a suitable coaxial cable with
SMA connector (male). The PA 3010 is connected to either a spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope
via the SMA output (male).
The PA 3010 is powered by the provided power supply.
5.2 Reasonably Foreseeable Improper Use
Improper use of the PA 3010 set may put the user at risk, damage the product and/or the technical
equipment connected to the product.
Examples of improper use:
• Safety devices are bypassed or rendered ineffective.
• The PA 3010 preamplier or any connected devices are used in a defective state.
• The PA 3010 set is used outside the specied range of technical parameters.
• The eld of application is changed by modications to the design.
Claims due to the improper use of the PA 3010 set are excluded!
5.3 Staff Requirements
Only persons who are trained and qualied in the eld of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) may
operate the PA 3010 set.
The PA 3010 set must not be operated by persons whose reactions are impaired by, for example,
alcohol, medication or drugs.
5.4 Safety Instructions
When using a product from Langer EMV-Technik GmbH, please observe the following safety
instructions to protect yourself against electric shock or the risk of injury:
• The operating and safety instructions for all devices included in the set-up must be observed.
• Before operating the product, externally inspect all equipment used in the set-up for damage.
• Damaged or defective devices must be replaced.
• All devices are to be connected or disconnected only when the source of interference is switched off.
• The product may only be operated under supervision.
• To avoid excessive heating of the preamplier, it must not be covered.

6 Application
6.1 Application Notes
When the PA 3010 is supplied with voltage, the LED lights up red continuously.
During normal operation, the PA 3010 heats up. This does not represent a malfunction. The housing
reaches a temperature approx. 15 °C above room temperature.
For reproducible measurement results, it is recommended to let the preamplier preheat for approx.
20 minutes.
To avoid damage to the PA 3010 preamplier, coaxial cables must be discharged shortly before
they are connected to the preamplier (due to its funtion, the input of the PA 3010 preamplier is not
secured against ESD). For this we recommend to establish a low impedance connection between
the inner and outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
6.2 General Measurement Set-up
The PA 3010 is connected via the SMA output (male) to either the 50 Ω connector of a spectrum
analyzer or an oscilloscope.
A near-eld probe is connected to the SMA input (female) of the preamplier via a coaxial cable with
the SMA male connector (plug).
The provided power supply unit is connected to the DC 12 V (power supply) connection.
