Description of the Upgrade
IMPORTANT This upgrade kit is only for analyzers with serial numbers prefixed MY/SG/US5150 and
below. If the serial number prefix of your analyzer is above this number, do NOT proceed
with the upgrade. Analyzers with serial numbers prefixed MY/SG/US5150 and below
were manufactured prior to February 2012, and have a older chassis style that requires
older synthesizer boards (included in this kit) without screw tabs. For more information
on part numbers, refer to Chapter 6 in the Service Guide. See "Downloading the Online
PNA Service Guide" on page 6.
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.
Your analyzer was originally shipped with 2.4 mm components. Bias tees with 2.4 mm
connectors are no longer available, so the bias tees and connecting cables included in
this kit have 3.5 mm connectors. Since they are interconnected, 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.
This upgrade converts your N5241A or N5242A Option 219 2-port analyzer to a N5241A or N5242A Option 419 4-
port analyzer by adding:
