Module Description
The HP 70310A Precision Frequency Reference is a 1/8-width module designed to plug into HP
70000 Modular Measurement System mainframes. The HP 70310A module provides 10 MHz
and 100 MHz precision reference signals for use by HP 70000 Modular Measurement Systems
and other instruments. The HP 70310A functions either by itself, as a separate frequency
reference, or as a slave to an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System master element such as
the HP 70900A Local Oscillator. When the HP 70310A is con gured as a slave, it is controlled
by the master element.
Module Options
The HP 70310A Precision Frequency Reference has the following module options:
Option W30 adds 2 years to the standard 1 year return to Hewlett-Packard service
warranty.
Option 001 adds two distribution ampli ers that accept inputs of 5 MHz to 300 MHz. Each
distribution ampli er has one input and three outputs.
Option 002 deletes the HP 70310A module's internal oven/oscillator and the external
power pack accessory. HP 70310A Option 002 modules must be connected to
an external-reference signal of 1, 2, 5, or 10 MHz to operate.
Option 910 adds another set of the manuals that normally ship with the module.
Option 915 adds the module service documentation and module veri cation software.
Safety Considerations
Before operating this module, familiarize yourself with any safety markings on the module
and the safety instructions in this manual. This module has been manufactured and tested

These distribution-ampli er outputs are only present in HP 70310A Option 001 modules. The
output signals are approximately 0 dBm, and are leveled and isolated versions of the signal
being injected into B IN.
A IN
This distribution-ampli er input is only present in HP 70310A Option 001 modules. The signal
injected at A IN is leveled and distributed to the A outputs (A 1 OUT, A 2 OUT, and A 3 OUT).
The input signal must be from 5 to 300 MHz in frequency, with a power level of 04 to +4 dBm.
B IN
This distribution-ampli er input is only present in HP 70310A Option 001 modules. The signal
injected at B IN is leveled and distributed to the B outputs (B 1 OUT, B 2 OUT, and B 3 OUT).
The input signal must be from 5 to 300 MHz in frequency, with a power level of 04 to +4 dBm.
100 MHz
This output supplies a stable frequency-reference signal for use by HP 70000 Modular
Measurement Systems.
EXT PWR
The external power pack is plugged into this input. The external power pack supplies power
for the heater in the internal oven/oscillator while the system power is turned o.
The EXT PWR input is not present on HP 70310A Option 002 modules (no internal
oven/oscillator).
10 MHz
This output supplies a stable frequency-reference signal.
1-6 General Information
EXT REF
This input allows the use of an external-reference signal. The external-reference input signal
can have a frequency of 1, 2, 5, or 10 MHz, and a power range of 05 to +21 dBm. TTL signal
levels are acceptable. Refer to Chapter 3 for external-reference input speci cations.
When an acceptable external-reference signal is applied to the EXT REF input, the module
automatically switches to the external reference.
HP 70310A Option 002 modules must have an external-reference signal supplied. (HP 70310A
Option 002 modules do not have an internal oven/oscillator.)
Mainframe/Module Interconnect
This multiple-pin connector plugs into the mainframe and provides the power supplies and
Hewlett-Packard Modular System Interface Bus (HP-MSIB) for the module.

Electrostatic Discharge Information
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Therefore,
all work performed on assemblies consisting of electronic components should be done at a
static-safe work station.
Figure 1-4 shows an example of a static-safe work station. Two types of ESD protection are
shown: (a) conductive table mat and wrist strap combination, and (b) conductive
oor mat
and heel strap combination. The two types must be used together to ensure adequate ESD
protection. Refer to Table 1-1 for a list of static-safe accessories and their part numbers.
Figure 1-4. Static-Safe Work Station
Reducing ESD Damage
Below are suggestions that may help reduce the amount of ESD damage that occurs during
testing and servicing instruments.
PC Board Assemblies and Electronic Components
Handle these items at a static-safe work station.
Store or transport these items in static-shielding containers.
1-8 General Information
Caution Do not use erasers to clean the edge-connector contacts. Erasers generate static
electricity and degrade the electrical quality of the contacts by removing the
thin gold plating.
Do not use paper of any kind to clean the edge-connector contacts. Paper
or lint particles left on the contact surface can cause intermittent electrical
connections.
Do not touch the edge-connector contacts or trace surfaces with bare hands.
Always handle board assemblies by the edges.
PC board assembly edge-connector contacts may be cleaned by using a lint-free cloth with a
solution of 80% electronics-grade isopropyl alcohol and 20% deionized water. This procedure
should be performed at a static-safe work station.
Test Equipment
Before connecting any coaxial cable to an instrument connector for the rst time each day,
momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable together.
Caution Do not short the coaxial cable from the external power pack. Instrument
damage can result.
Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before touching the center
pin of any connector and before removing any assembly from the instrument.
Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge.

Returning Instruments for Service
The original shipping containers and materials, or the equivalent, must be used when
repackaging the mainframe with modules, or modules alone. Packaging materials identical to
the original factory packaging can be purchased through any Hewlett-Packard oce.
Figures 1-5 and 1-6 show the packaging materials. When ordering packaging materials to ship
modules, it is necessary to order the proper number of foam inserts. No foam inserts are
required for a 3/8-width module such as the HP 70205A Graphics Display. One foam insert is
required for a 2/8-width module such as the HP 70900A Local Oscillator. Two foam inserts are
required for a 1/8-width module such as the HP 70902A IF Section.
Caution Instrument damage can result from using packaging materials other than
those speci ed. Never use styrene pellets as packaging materials. They do not
adequately cushion the instrument or prevent it from shifting in the carton.
They cause instrument damage by generating static electricity.
Use the following procedure to prepare the instrument for shipment:
1. Fill out a blue repair card (located at the end of this manual) and attach it to the
instrument. If you have recorded any error messages or have any other speci c data on the
performance of the instrument, also send a copy of this information with the instrument.
If a blue repair card is not available, make sure the following information is sent with the
returned instrument:
a. Type of service required.
b. Description of the problem; state if the problem is constant or intermittent.
c. Name and phone number of technical contact person.
d. Return address.
e. Model number of returned instrument.
f. Full serial number of returned instrument.
g. List of any accessories returned with instrument.
2. Pack the instrument in the appropriate packaging materials. (See Figures 1-5 and 1-6.)
Original shipping materials or the equivalent should be used. However, if the original
shipping materials are not available and equivalent materials cannot be ordered, instruments
can be repackaged for shipment using the following instructions.
Caution Inappropriate packaging of instruments may result in damage to the
instruments during transit.
a. Wrap the instrument in anti-static plastic to reduce the possibility of damage caused by
ESD.
b. For instruments that weigh less than 54 kg (120 lb), use a double-walled, corrugated
cardboard carton of 159 kg (350 lb) test strength. The carton must be large enough and
strong enough to accommodate the instrument. Allow at least three to four inches on all
sides of the instrument for packing material.
c. Surround the equipment with three to four inches of packing material, to protect the
instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton. If packing foam is not available,
the best alternative is S.D.-240 Air CapTM from Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce,
California 90001). Air Cap looks like a plastic sheet lled with 1-1/4 inch air bubbles. Use
General Information 1-13
the pink (antistatic) Air Cap to reduce static electricity. Wrapping the instrument several
times in this material should both protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in
the carton.
3. Seal the carton with strong nylon adhesive tape.
4. Mark the carton \FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE."
5. Retain copies of all shipping papers.

Installation
Introduction
This chapter contains information needed to install the HP 70310A Precision Frequency
Reference into an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System mainframe, and to check the basic
operation of the module. Chapter 4 contains the tests needed to verify that the module meets
its speci cations.
The examples of addressing and cable connections in this chapter are for an HP 71210A
Microwave Spectrum Analyzer system. For more detailed information about HP 70000 Modular
Measurement System con guration and addressing, refer to the Installation and Veri cation
Manual for the system master (for example, HP 70900A Local Oscillator).
To use the HP 70310A module as a separate frequency reference, refer to Chapter 1 for general
information about the module's inputs and outputs, and to Chapter 3 for information about
input requirements and output capabilities.
Installing the module in an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System requires the following
steps:
1. Addressing the module.
2. Installing the external power pack (not done for HP 70310A Option 002 modules).
3. Installing the module into the mainframe.
4. Connecting the rear-panel cables.
Installing the module as a separate frequency reference (that is, not part of an HP 70000
Modular Measurement System) requires the following steps:
1. Installing the external power pack (not done for HP 70310A Option 002 modules).
2. Installing the module into the mainframe.
3. Connecting the appropriate rear-panel input and output cables.
When properly installed, the HP 70310A module obtains both power and interface-bus control
through the module's rear-panel mainframe/module interconnect. After the module is installed,
use the information in \Checking Module Operation" to make sure that the module has been
properly installed and is not faulty.
Installation 2-1
Addressing the Module
The HP 70310A module needs an appropriate Hewlett-Packard Modular System Interface
Bus (HP-MSIB) address to be able to communicate with the master of the HP 70000 Modular
Measurement System. The HP 70310A module's HP-MSIB address is set using the module's
ROW and COLUMN address switches.
Determining the HP-MSIB Address
The HP 70310A module has a factory-preset HP-MSIB address of 7, 19 (row 7, column 19).
Figure 2-1 shows the address map for an HP 71210A system. The addresses in this gure are
the factory-preset addresses for the modules.
Figure 2-1. Address Map
If the HP 70310A module is going to be used in an HP 70000 Modular Spectrum Analyzer
System where the modules all have their factory-preset addresses, the HP 70310A module
probably will not need to have its factory-preset address changed. However, if the
factory-preset addresses of the modules in the system have been changed, or if the HP
70310A module is being used in another type of HP 70000 Modular Measurement System, the
HP 70310A module's factory-preset address may need to be changed.
Changing HP-MSIB addresses requires an understanding of HP-MSIB addressing rules. For
information on determining and assigning HP-MSIB addresses, refer to the Installation and
Veri cation Manual for the system master (for example, HP 70900A Local Oscillator).
2-2 Installation
Setting the HP-MSIB Address Switches
The HP 70310A module's address switches are located on the left side of the module. Table 2-1
gives the decimal value for each address switch when the switch is set to binary 1 (on).
Table 2-1. Decimal Equivalents of Row and Column Address Switches
Address Switch Decimal Value
Row
3* 4
2* 2
1* 1
Column
5* 16
4 8
3 4
2* 2
1* 1
*These switches are factory-preset to binary 1
(on), resulting in an HP-MSIB address of 7, 19
(row 7, column 19).
Use the procedure below to change the address switches:
1. Set the three ROW switches to the binary value of the module's HP-MSIB row number. For
example, if the row number is 7, change the switches to binary 111 as shown in Figure 2-2.
2. Set the ve COLUMN switches to the binary value of the module's HP-MSIB column number.
For example, if the column number is 19, change the switches to binary 10011 as shown in
Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2. Address Switches
Installation 2-3
Figure 2-3. External Power Pack Installation
2-4 Installation
Installing the External Power Pack
The external power pack provides power to the HP 70310A module to maintain the
temperature in the module's internal oven/oscillator when the mainframe is turned o. An
HP 70310A Option 002 module does not have an internal oven/oscillator and, therefore, does
not need an external power pack.
Caution Install the HP 70310A module into the mainframe and connect the external
power pack to the HP 70310A module before plugging the external power pack
into the ac power source. If the external power pack is incorrectly connected
its fuse can open, resulting in a 6015 Oven cold error at power-on. Refer
to \Fuse Replacement" in this chapter for fuse location and replacement
information.
The external power pack can be installed on the rear of the mainframe or on an equipment
rack. For installation information, refer to Figure 2-3 or to the instructions shipped with the
power-pack rack-mount kit.
Line Voltage Selector
The line voltage selector on the external power pack must be set to correspond with the
voltage of the ac power source. For example, Figure 2-4 shows the line voltage selector set to
100 volts.
Caution The external power pack can be damaged if its line voltage selector is not set
correctly before the external power pack is plugged into the ac power source.
Figure 2-4. External Power Pack Line Voltage Selector
AC Power Source
The external power pack must be plugged into an appropriate ac power source before it will
function. However, do not plug the external power pack into the ac power source until the
HP 70310A module has been installed in the mainframe and the external power pack cable has
been connected to the module's rear-panel EXT PWR connector.
In accordance with international safety standards, the external power pack is equipped with a
three-wire ac power cable. When connected to an appropriate ac power receptacle, this cable
grounds the external power pack.
The type of power cable shipped with the external power pack depends on the country
of destination. If additional or dierent cables are needed, refer to the Installation and
Veri cation Manual for the system master.
Installation 2-5
Warning Before plugging the external power pack into the ac power source, verify
that the external power pack and the power cable are not damaged, and
that the power-source socket outlet is provided with protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor inside
or outside of the external power pack, or disconnection of the protective
earth terminal, can result in personal injury.
Fuse Replacement
The external power pack's line fuse, and a spare fuse, are located in the line cord receptacle
housing on the left side of the external power pack. See Figure 2-5 for fuse removal and
replacement information.
The fuse shipped with the external power pack depends on the line voltage used in the country
of destination. Table 2-2 shows the fuse value and part number for the dierent line voltages.

2-10 Installation
Checking Module Operation
The HP 70310A Precision Frequency Reference can be con gured as a separate frequency
reference (installed in an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System mainframe) or as a slave in
an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System. Module-operation checks are given below for the
following con gurations:
HP 70310A module used as a separate frequency reference.
HP 70310A module used as a slave in an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System that has an
HP 70900A Local Oscillator as the system master.
HP 70310A as a Separate Frequency Reference
The operation of the HP 70310A module as a separate frequency reference is veri ed by
checking the results of the module's power-on self-test.
The results of the self-test can be determined by examining the status of the module's LEDs.
An HP 70000 Modular Measurement System display can also be used to check for error
messages.
Front-Panel LEDs
The power-on self-test runs automatically when power is rst applied to the module. The
listing below describes what the status of the LEDs should be immediately after the self-test
has run.
The ACT LED should be o.
The ERR LED should be on if the oven/oscillator is still cold. The ERR LED may stay
on when the OVEN COLD LED goes o. If this happens, cycling the power (turning the
mainframe o, then quickly turning it on again) should result in the ERR LED going o. HP
70310A Option 002 modules should not have the ERR LED go on.
The OVEN COLD LED should be on if the oven/oscillator is still cold. This LED should go o
approximately fteen minutes after power-on if the module was stored at room temperature.
HP 70310A Option 002 modules should not have the OVEN COLD LED go on.
The EXTERNAL REF LED should be o if the internal frequency reference is being used.
The EXTERNAL REF LED should go on when an appropriate external reference is connected
to the HP 70310A module.
The PLL ERROR LED should be o.
Checking for Error Messages
If the HP 70310A module's ERR LED remains on, an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System
display can be used to determine what error is occurring.
Note Remove all master elements or systems from the HP-MSIB before using the
following troubleshooting procedure. If there are any master elements or
systems on the HP-MSIB when this procedure is performed, the system or
master may cease communication and the procedure may not work.
Installation 2-11
Use the following troubleshooting procedure to nd out what error conditions exist:
1. Remove the HP 70310A module from the mainframe.

HP 70310A as a Slave in an HP 70000 Modular Spectrum Analyzer System
The operation of the HP 70310A module in an HP 70000 Modular Spectrum Analyzer system is
veri ed by checking the results of the module's power-on self-test, and by making sure that the
local oscillator in the system is using an external frequency reference.
The results of the self-test are determined by examining the front-panel LEDs and by checking
for error messages.
To verify that the local oscillator is using an external frequency reference, the local oscillator
is queried using an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System display or an HP 9000 Series 200
controller.
Front-Panel LEDs
The power-on self-test runs automatically when power is rst applied to the module. The
following listing describes what the status of the LEDs should be immediately after the self-test
has run.
The ACT LED should be on.
The ERR LED should be on if the oven/oscillator is still cold. The ERR LED should go o
when the OVEN COLD LED goes o. HP 70310A Option 002 modules should not have the
ERR LED go on.
The OVEN COLD LED should be on if the oven/oscillator is still◦ Jabse Service Manual Search 2024 ◦ Jabse Pravopis ◦ onTap.bg ◦ Other service manual resources online : Fixya ◦ eServiceinfo
