1 Preface
1.1 For Your Safety
The R&S EVSG1000 is a portable level and modulation analyzer especially for mainte-
nance and servicing of ILS, VOR and marker beacon ground stations and analyzing
ATC COM signals. High Accuracy and measurement speed, robust design and the
integrated battery make the R&S EVSG1000 ideal for high-precision, network-inde-
pendent measurements.
The product documentation helps you to use the R&S EVSG1000 safely and efficiently.
Keep the product documentation in a safe place and pass it on to the subsequent
users.
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about the poten-
tial dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injury or damage caused

on its features. Even the movement caused by transportation or mobile use does not
impair its functioning.
Risk of instrument damage due to environmental conditions
The R&S EVSG1000 was designed to provide a protected environment for the mea-
surement setup. However, observe the allowed environmental conditions concerning
temperature, humidity and mechanical stress described in the R&S EVSG1000 data
sheet and the general safety instructions to avoid damage to the devices.
Ensure that the airflow perforations are unimpeded.

2.2.3 Connecting the Power Supply
To ensure high mobility and flexibility while using the R&S EVSG1000, it is equipped
with a DC power supply connector on the rear panel of the instrument. DC power can
be supplied by the installed battery, the provided power supply unit, or from appropriate
external DC power sources.
Risk of instrument damage due to excess voltage
The R&S EVSG1000 must be operated only on DC power with a voltage of 10 V DC to
28 V DC and a current of 3.0 A.
The provided DC power supply unit must only be plugged into a two-pin grounded
socket!
Use the provided AC/DC power supply unit to operate the R&S EVSG1000 on a 230 V
AC power supply.
2.2.3.1 Connecting the Provided DC Power Supply
Risk of electric shock!
When connecting to an AC power supply, only the supplied AC/DC power supply con-
nector must be used!
Connect the R&S EVSG1000 to the provided AC/DC power supply as follows:
1. Connect the DC connector on the provided AC/DC power supply unit to the
"POWER" connector on the back of the R&S EVSG1000 (see "Power Supply"
on page 22).
2. Connect the power cable to the AC/DC power supply and to a main power socket.
The green operating LED of the AC/DC power supply connector lights up.
2.2.3.2 Connecting an External DC Power Source
The R&S EVSG1000 can be operated directly from an external DC power source (10
V DC to 28 V DC).

R&S®EVSG1000
16User Manual 1178.6227.02 ─ 04
Risk of instrument damage due to insecure power supply connection
If the connection between the instrument and the external DC power source is not pro-
tected against excessive current, a short-circuit can damage the instrument or power
supply unit.
When connecting the R&S EVSG1000 to the power supply, ensure the following pre-
requisites are met:
Insert a 3 AT fuse
Use a 3-pin XLR connection cable
If the cable must be extended, ensure the entire cable has a cross-section of at
least 1.5 mm2
Connect the R&S EVSG1000 to an external DC power source as follows:
1. Connect the XLR connection cable to the "POWER" connector on the back of the
instrument (see "Power Supply" on page 22).
2. Connect the XLR connection cable to the DC power supply.
Risk of electric shock
Insufficient insulation and exceeding the current limitation of external power supplies
for safety extra-low DC voltage (SELV) can lead to electric shock.
Be sure to meet the requirements for reinforced/double insulation in accordance with
DIN/EN/IEC 61010 (UL 3111, CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1) orDIN/EN/IEC 60950 (UL 1950,
CSA C22.2 No. 950). Provide current limitation in accordance with DIN EN 61010-1
Appendix F2.1.
2.2.3.3 Using an Optional Battery Pack (R&S EVSG-B3)
As an alternative to the fixed AC or DC power supply, the R&S EVSG1000 can be
operated by a battery pack if the R&S EVSG-B2 and R&S EVSG-B3 options are instal-
led. If the battery pack is installed and no DC power is supplied, the R&S EVSG1000
automatically switches to battery operation (during operation).
If the battery option was ordered together with the instrument, the R&S EVSG1000
comes with the battery management and battery pack already installed.
Preparing for Use
Getting Started
R&S®EVSG1000
17User Manual 1178.6227.02 ─ 04
The battery pack must be charged before it is used the first time. A new battery pack or
a battery pack which has not been used for a longer time attains full capacity after sev-
eral charge/ discharge cycles.
Charge the battery pack at a constant ambient temperature between +0 °C and
+40 °C. If the battery temperature rises above +53 °C, charging is interrupted until the
temperature drops below +45 °C. Large temperature variations can also cause the
charger to be switched off too early.
Use only the original battery pack R&S EVSG-B3 (1329.8821.02).
If the instrument is connected to the provided AC/DC power supply or to an external
DC power supply with more than 12 V DC, the internal battery is automatically charged
regardless whether the instrument is switched on or off.
2.2.4 Connecting Devices for Signal Input and Output
1. Connect the RF input connector ("RX 1 IN"/"RX 2 IN") with the receiving antenna
(see "RX1 IN / RX 2 IN" on page 18).
2. Optionally, connect the power supply for an active receiving antenna (see "12 V DC
Out" on page 19).
3. Optionally, connect the GPS receiver (see "RS232 GPS" on page 23).
4. Optionally, connect a headset (see "AF Out" on page 19).
2.2.5 Switching the R&S EVSG1000 On and Off
To switch the instrument on or off, press the [Power] key (see "Power Key"
on page 18).
When the instrument is switched on, the power LED lights up.
If the instrument is operated by the provided DC power supply or by an external DC
power supply with more than 12 V DC, the internal battery is charged regardless
whether the instrument is switched on or off.
Starting Process
The boot process of the R&S EVSG1000 takes about 30 seconds. Then the instru-
ment automatically starts the measurement mode used before the instrument was
switched off.
If valid data for automatic calibration is not available, the message "UNCAL" is dis-
played in the status line.

18User Manual 1178.6227.02 ─ 04
It is recommended that you perfom an auto-calibration every 2 months or if the differ-
ence of the environment temperature changes by more than 10 °C.

"RX 2 In" is supplied as an option (R&S EVSG-B1).
This option allows you to perform two independent measurements simultaneously, for
example on different frequencies. This capability is vital in flight inspection systems
because localizer and glidepath signals must be measured at the same time. An addi-
tional application required in flight inspection systems is the parallel measurement of
two different VOR stations.
USB
The front panel provides two female USB connectors (USB-A, 2.0 standard) to connect
a memory device.
The memory device is used to store and reload instrument settings, to provide software
updates and to export measurement data.

System keys set the instrument to a predefined state, change basic settings, and pro-
vide print and display functions.

Keypad
The keypad is used to enter numeric parameters, including the corresponding units. It
contains the following keys.
Type of key Description
Decimal point Inserts a decimal point "." at the cursor position.
Sign key Changes the sign of a numeric parameter. In the
case of an alphanumeric parameter, inserts a "-" at
the cursor position.
Unit keys

Adds the selected unit to the entered numeric value
and complete the entry.
In the case of level entries (e.g. in dB) or dimension-
less values, all units have the value "1" as multiply-
ing factor. Thus, they have the same function as an
ENTER key.
