2 Installation Note N5242-90115
Description of the Upgrade
IMPORTANT In June 2013, the N5241A/AS and N5242A/AS analyzers underwent significant hardware changes.
Some components that have 2.4 mm connectors (bias tees, couplers, and some semi-rigid cables) were
replaced with components that have 3.5 mm connectors.
If your analyzer's serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5310 and below:
Your analyzer was originally shipped with 2.4 mm components. The 2.4 mm couplers and connecting
cables in your analyzer must be replaced with the new 3.5 mm items included in this kit.
If your analyzer's serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5321 and above:
Your analyzer was shipped with 3.5 mm components, so it is not necessary to replace the couplers and
connecting cables. These items are included in this kit, but will not be used for your upgrade. Set them
aside for possible use in the future.
Be very careful to use the appropriate hardware in your analyzer. Using the wrong hardware can ruin
analyzer components, resulting in additional customer costs.
This upgrade converts your N5241A or N5242A Option 200 2-port analyzer to a N5241A or N5242A Option 400 4-
port analyzer by adding:
