The Anritsu MW82119B PIM Master is capable of more than 3.0 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged, field‑replaceable battery (refer to Battery Replacement). The PIM Master can also be operated from a 12 VDC source (which will also simultaneously charge the battery). This can be achieved with either the Anritsu AC Adapter or Automotive 12 Volt Adapter. Both items are included as standard accessories (refer to the list of accessories in the Technical Data Sheet for your specific instrument, as listed in Other Documents).
Caution
When using the Automotive Adapter, always verify that the supply is rated for a minimum of 60 Watts at 12 VDC and that the socket is clear of any dirt or debris. If the adapter plug becomes hot to the touch during operation, then discontinue use immediately.
To turn on the MW82119B PIM Master, press the On/Off button on the front panel (Figure: MW82119B PIM Master Front Panel). The PIM Master takes approximately 40 seconds to complete power‑up and to load the application software. At the completion of this process, the instrument is ready to be used.
Note
Anritsu recommends that you turn on your PIM Master and let it warm up for 10 minutes before performing your first calibration.
