Direct Connections to the WTS

The WTS is a precision RF instrument that is sensitive to ESD and transients. Ensure you take the following precautions when making direct connections to the WTS to avoid damaging the device.

Caution Apply external signals only while the WTS is powered on. Applying external signals while the device is powered off may cause damage.
  • Ensure you are properly grounded when manipulating cables or antennas connected to the WTS PORT <0..n> connectors.
  • If you are using noninsulated devices, such as a noninsulated RF antenna, ensure the devices are maintained in a static-free environment.
  • If you are using an active device, such as a preamplifier or switch routed to the WTS PORT <0..n> connectors, ensure that there are no signal transients greater than the RF and DC specifications for the device that are being generated and sourced to the WTS PORT <0..n> connectors.
