Safety Instructions: To safely use the frequency response analyzer
The following instructions, including all Warnings and Cautions, shall be observed by all means to
protect yourself as well as public safety.
Please be advised that NF Corporation shall not be responsible for, and warranty shall be waived
for, any loss or damages that will have resulted from ignorance or omissions of these instructions,
Warnings or Cautions.
This instrument is compliant with the insulation Class I (with protective conductor terminals) of
the JIS and IEC Standards.
●Observe all the instructions of this Instruction Manual by all means.
This Instruction Manual contains those instructions which are to be observed by users
so that users and/or operators prepare and operate the instrument in safety.
Read the Manual by all means as your first duty before you use the instrument.
All the Warnings described in this Manual are provided for you to avoid any serious
accidents to occur from using the instrument. Therefore, your observation of the
instructions in the Manual is essential to use the instrument.
●Ground the instrument at all times.
Line filters are used for this instrument, and therefore, you will have a risk of an
electric shock unless the instrument is properly grounded.
To avoid risk of electric shock, be sure to connect securely to ground through less than
100.
This instrument is so designed that the instrument will be grounded by connecting its
three-pole power supply plug with a three-pole electric power source outlet with a
proper grounding connection.
●Inspect and confirm the electric power source voltage.
This instrument operates at the power source voltage as described in Section 2.3
“Grounding and Power Supply Connection” in this Manual.
Inspect and confirm that the outlet voltage conforms to the rated voltage of the
instrument, before connecting the power supply of the instrument to the power source.
●React promptly if you notice anything wrong with the instrument.
Promptly stop operating the instrument by disconnecting the power supply cable plug
from the power source outlet, if any amount of smoke or strange smell or sound comes
out of the instrument, for example.
If such an abnormal occurs, prevent anyone from using this instrument until it has been
repaired, and immediately report the problem to NF Corporation or one of our
representatives.
●Do not operate the instrument in the gaseous environment.
Operation of the instrument in any gaseous environment could cause an explosion.

from the instrument by any means.
No one except the service technicians certified by NF Corporation are allowed to check
or touch the inside of this instrument. Do not touch the inside in any case by yourself.
●Do not modify the instrument.
Never modify or try to modify the instrument. Your modification of the instrument
could cause unexpected accidents or failures. NF Corporation has the right to refuse
providing services for any instruments modified by unauthorized persons.
●Do not expose this product to water.
When this product is used in wet condition, it may cause an electric shock and a fire. If
this product is exposed to water. Unplug the mains supply cord immediately, and
contact NF Corporation or one of our representatives.
●If lightning occurs, power off this product and unplug the mains supply cord.
A lightning may cause an electric shock, a fire and a failure.
●Marks and codes to indicate safety information and/or instructions:
General definitions for marks and codes to indicate safety information and/or
instructions in this Manual as well as at the instrument itself are the following:
！
Instructions Manual reference mark
This mark indicates that users should pay attention to potential failures, damages or
injury and that they are requested to refer to the appropriate section in the Reference
Manual.
Mark to indicate risks of electric shocks
This mark is used at locations where one can receive an electric shock under certain
conditions.
Protective grounding terminal mark
This mark is used at the terminals that are required to ground to protect users against
potential electric shocks.
Before operating the equipment, be sure to connect this terminal to ground through less
than 100 . (The instrument will be grounded by connecting its three-pole power
supply plug with a three-pole electric power source outlet with a proper grounding
connection. When this connection is made, no grounding is required for the indicated
terminal.)
！

1. Introduction

1.1 Features
FRA5087
1-2
1.1 Features
The “FRA5087 Frequency Response Analyzer” is a type of frequency response analyzers that
feeds swept frequency signals to a system under test.
The “FRA5087 Frequency Response Analyzer” comprises a sweep oscillator subsystem with a
frequency synthesizer incorporated that generates signals to be fed into the system under test, an
analyzer subsystem that measures responses of the system under test for swept frequency signals,
operates outcomes of Fourier integrals and calculates amplitudes and phases of the response
signals, and a recorder/display subsystem that records and displays the measurement results.
a) High precision, wide dynamic range
The built-in oscillator uses a synthesizer system to maintain high frequency accuracy and
resolution. By using a high-resolution A/D converter as well as an auto-ranging operation,
the analysis section allocates an increasingly wider dynamic range and, furthermore, Fourier
integrals and a self-calibration feature enable consistently high-precision measurements.
b) Insulated I/O terminal
The two analysis inputs and the oscillator output are independently isolated from the
enclosure.
c) Wide band between 0.1 mHz and 10 MHz
The entire range between 0.1 mHz and 10 MHZ can be swept and measured all at once.
d) Color TFT-LCD included
The built-in color TFT-LCD displays the frequency characteristic graphs and measurement
condition setup menus.
e) USB flash drive supported (USB host connector located on front panel)
You can use USB flash drive (attached) to store the setting and measurement data. (The
behavior of non-attached USB flash drive is not guaranteed). The file format is compatible
with Windows 98 SE or later on IBM PC/AT compatible machines, which means IBM PC/AT
compatible machines with a USB port can read/write the applicable files.
f) Setting and measurement data battery backup
The present setting values and measurement data stored in an involatile memory will be
retained even after shutting down the power.
g) GPIB/USB as standard equipment
You can set the measurement conditions and read measurement data while using an external
PC.
h) Thermal printer included
A thermosensitive printer that enables hardcopy outputs of the LCD screen is built in. This
printer is useful for saving the measurement data and preparing reports.
i) Impedance display available
By combining FRA5087 with an amplifier or a shunt resistor, impedances can be measured in
a wide range of voltages and amperes that normal LCR meters cannot cover. In addition, use
of the impedance display feature facilitates accurate measurement and displaying of the
impedances (option).

1.2 Applications
FRA5087

1.2 Applications
Since the FRA5087 Frequency Response Analyzer has such features as highly isolated
input/output terminals, wide dynamic measurement range and high measurement accuracy, it can
be used for various applications as described below. It can also be used to easily form an
automatic measurement system combined with an on-line computer due to its standard availability
or the GPIB capability.
 Servo-system Servo-loop characteristics measurement for DVD players,
VTRs, etc.
 Electronic circuits Frequency characteristics measurement for filters, amplifiers,
etc.
 Acoustic system Frequency characteristics measurement for speakers,
microphones, etc.
 Vibration/oscillation analysis
Resonance characteristics measurement
 Electrochemical area Studies on metal corrosion, battery performance
measurement, etc.
