4 Setting up the Device
Always ensure the device stands stable and that the environmental conditions –
listed under Chapter 1 – Section: Operating states and operating positions – are
okay before starting to use the PIM Site Analyzer α.
After opening the box and unpacking the device including its accessories take the batteries and open the red
protection lid on both of them. Push the batteries in the appropriate slots of the device until you feel them
click into place. Before the first usage of the device the batteries should be charged fully. To do so, connect
the PIM Site Analyzer αto the power supply using the included charging cable. Batteries are fully charged as
soon as their LED indicators have stopped flashing.
The next step is to lay the device onto the display side and insert the filter as shown in 3.3.1. After that the
PIM Site Analyzer αis ready for operation. To boot the device press the Power Button, which is illuminated
as long as the device is running. The boot process is finished as soon as the menu for the measurement
operations is shown. You can now start your measurements. To power off the device, shortly press the Pow-
er Button again and the device will shut down. The device has finished shutting down as soon as the illumi-
nation of the Power Button is off.
4.1 Changing SFPs
Choosing the right SFP modules depends on the site equipment. The SFP modules in the
PIM Site Analyzer αhave to be compatible with the Base Band Unit or else malfunction may occur. To re-
move the SFP modules flap out the lever to unlock the module and pull the SFP module out. To equip a SFP
module slide it in with the lever pushed down until the SFP snaps in. Mind the latching tab when connecting /
disconnecting the FO cable.
4.2 Battery Operation
People with cardiac stimulator must not expose the magnetic field of the batteries,
the battery unit, the power unit or the charging cable.
Always keep the red protection lid closed if batteries are removed from PIM Site
Analyzer αor charger. Keep metal particles away from battery-pack and -slot, they
could be attracted by the magnetic connector and cause short circuits.
The PIM Site Analyzer αruns on two battery packs. Each battery pack is dedicated to one amplifier, while
the power flow to the basic system is intelligently controlled to keep the device running even if one battery
fails. So, if no measurement is running one battery at a time can be changed without shutting down the de-
vice.
Battery charging will start immediately after connecting the charger which can be seen by the flashing LED
indicator. For lifetime and safety reasons charging won’t start if battery temperature is too high or too low.
Please plug in battery again when it reached a normal temperature.
Fully discharged batteries (below approx. 5%) will run through a pre-charge cycle to lengthen their lifetime
for up to 45 min prior to the fast charge. During that time their LED indicators will not flash and the battery
may not be recognized in the status menu.

A report is not only a collection of measurements - it contains a complete set of documentation to proof the
PIM performance of a “device under test”. It includes test parameters, comments, pass fail check and title
sheet with company logo, operator name, equipment serial and so on. Per default similar measurements of
one section are grouped into a graph on one page to save paper and increase comparability, this can be
switched off in the menu. The following graphics show examples of how reports could be structured:
