INSTALLATION
GENERAL
The IFR 6000 is powered by an internal Lithium Ion battery pack. The Test Set is supplied with
an external DC Power Supply that enables the operator to recharge the battery when connected
to AC power.
NOTE: The IFR 6000 can operate continuously on AC power via the DC Power Supply, for
servicing and/or bench tests.
BATTERY OPERATION
The internal battery is equipped to power the IFR 6000 for more than four hours of continuous
use, after which time, the IFR 6000 battery needs recharging. Battery Operation Time
Remaining (in Hours) is displayed on all screens.
The IFR 6000 contains an automatic time-out to conserve power. If a key is not pressed within
a 5 to 20 minute time period, the Test Set shuts Off (only when using battery power). The
Power Down Time may be set in the Setup Screen.
BATTERY CHARGING
The battery charger operates whenever DC power (11 to 32 Vdc) is applied to the Test Set with
the supplied DC Power Supply or a suitable DC power source. When charging, the battery
reaches a 100% charge in approximately four hours. The internal battery charger allows the
battery to charge between a temperature range of 5°to 40°C. The IFR 6000 can operate,
connected to an external DC source, outside the battery charging temperature range (5°to
40°C).
The battery should be charged every three months (minimum) or disconnected for long term
inactive storage periods of more than six months. The Battery must be removed when
conditions surrounding the Test Set are <-20°C and >60°C)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions must be observed during installation and operation. VIAVI
assumes no liability for failure to comply with any safety precaution outlined in this manual.
Complying with Instructions
Installation/operating personnel should not attempt to install or operate the IFR 6000 without
reading and complying with instructions contained in this manual. All procedures contained in
this manual must be performed in exact sequence and manner described.
Grounding Power Cord
WARNING: DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-PRONG ADAPTER PLUG. DOING SO
CREATES A SHOCK HAZARD BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AND ELECTRICAL
GROUND.
For AC operation, the AC Line Cable, connected to the DC Power Supply, is equipped with
standard three-prong plug and must be connected to a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is easily accessible. It is the customer's responsibility to:
Have a qualified electrician check receptacle(s) for proper grounding.
Replace any standard two-prong receptacle(s) with properly grounded three-prong
receptacle(s).

INSTALLATION (cont)
Operating Safety
Due to potential for electrical shock within the Test Set, the Case Assembly must be closed
when the Test Set is connected to an external power source.
Battery replacement, fuse replacement and internal adjustments must only be performed by
qualified service technicians.
AC POWER REQUIREMENTS
The DC Power Supply, supplied with the IFR 6000, operates over a voltage range of 100 to
250 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz.
The battery charger operates whenever DC power (11 to 32 Vdc) is applied to the Test Set with
the supplied DC Power Supply or a suitable DC power source. When charging, the battery
reaches an 100% charge in approximately four hours. The Battery Charging temperature range
is 5°to 40°C, controlled by an internal battery charger.
BATTERY RECHARGING
STEP PROCEDURE
1. Connect AC Line Cable to either:
AC PWR Connector on the DC Power Supply and an appropriate AC power source
Suitable DC power source
2. Connect the DC Power Supply to the DC POWER Connector on the IFR 6000.
3. Verify the CHARGE Indicator illuminates yellow.
4. Allow four hours for battery charge or until the CHARGE Indicator illuminates green.
NOTE: If the CHARGE Indicator flashes yellow and/or the battery fails to accept a
charge and the IFR 6000 does not operate on battery power, the battery,
serviceable only by a qualified technician, requires replacement. Refer to
Battery/Voltage Instructions.

INSTALLATION (cont)
EXTERNAL CLEANING
The following procedure contains routine instructions for cleaning the outside of the Test Set.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER FROM TEST SET TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO
ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS.
STEP PROCEDURE
1. Clean front panel buttons and display face with soft lint-free cloth. If dirt is difficult to
remove, dampen cloth with water and a mild liquid detergent.
2. Remove grease, fungus and ground-in dirt from surfaces with soft lint-free cloth
dampened (not soaked) with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Remove dust and dirt from connectors with soft-bristled brush.
4. Cover connectors, not in use, with suitable dust cover to prevent tarnishing of connector
contacts.
5. Clean cables with soft lint-free cloth.
6. Paint exposed metal surface to avoid corrosion.
