OperationR&S®TSMA6-BP R&S®TSMA6B-BP


5 OperationFor portable operation powered from the batteries, it is recommended touse the R&S TSMA6/6B-BP always with 2 batteries in the bay. The batter-ies should have a comparable charging state as they are discharged simul-taneously.

5.1 Operation Modes

● Standalone modeIn the standalone mode, the battery pack unit is used without an R&STSMA6.The charging state indicator LEDs are controlled autonomously.

● Host-Controlled modeThe R&S TSMA6 controls the charge indicator LEDs via the SMBus interface.

5.2 Power On/Off

5.2.1 Auto Power On

In standalone mode, the output voltage at the docking connector TSMA6 andAUX1 / AUX2 is automatically switched on under the following conditions:

● sufficiently charged batteries and / or● external DC power supply connected

Power On/Off



5.2.2 Standby

In host-controlled mode (R&S TSMA6 connected), the battery pack can beswitched to standby mode by switching off the R&S TSMA6. In this case, the out-puts AUX1 / AUX2 are also switched off.

If there is a shutdown by the R&S TSMA6, the voltage at AUX1 / AUX 2 can bereactivated by switching on the R&S TSMA6.

A R&S TSMA6/6B-BP in standby mode can be switched on again without R&STSMA6 only by shortly removing the DC supply and both batteries.

5.3 Battery Charging

During operation with external power supply, the batteries are automaticallycharged.

Depending on the number of connected devices and the measuring mode, charg-ing may take longer because only part of the power consumption can be used forbattery charging.

5.4 Power Path Switching

Switching between battery and external power supply is done automatically.When an appropriate power supply is connected to the DC IN socket, the connec-ted devices are supplied from the external power supply and the batteries arecharged.

If the external input power is interrupted or cracking, connected devices are pow-ered seamless from the batteries.

5.5 Monitoring Battery Charge State

The battery charging state can be monitored via the following possibilities:

Monitoring Battery Charge State

1 = Charging state display (only for R&S TSMA6-BP and R&S BP89WH batteries)

● R&S TSMA6-BP / MNT-BP89WH: The discharge status is visible via the bat-tery internal display without removing the batteries (see Figure 5-1).When the batteries are being charged the upper segement of the LCD displayis blinking.

● R&S TSMA6B-BP / MNT-BP99WH: During an active measurement when noDC IN power is connected, proceed as follows.Remove the batteries alternately, check the discharge state from the internaldisplay and insert it again. Ensure that always one battery remains in the bayto ensure uninterrupted output power.When external DC power is connected or when the batteries are beingcharged without connected devices, both batteries can be removed andchecked.




To display the charging state, press the button below the LCD segments for afew seconds.When the batteries are being charged the upper segement of the LCD displayis blinking.

5.5.3 R&S TSMA6 web-GUI / Tray Icon (Only Host-ControlledMode)

In host-controlled mode, the battery charging state can be monitored from theweb-GUI or from the tray icon in the Windows OS.

For details, refer to "R&S TSMA6 Autonomous Mobile Network Scanner - UserManual" (R&S No. 4900.8057.02).

5.6 Battery Exchange - Hot Swapping

When the battey charge reaches a low level, the batteries need to be replaced.This can be done through hot swapping without interrupting the measurement onthe connected devices.

The batteries are both discharged evenly. Therefore it is recommended toreplace always both batteries.In case of a hot-swap, do not exchange the batteries simultaneously butone after the other.

1. Open the cover of the battery bay 1.

Battery Exchange - Hot Swapping



Figure 5-3: Open battery cover

2. Remove the battery by the tab.

Figure 5-4: Remove battery

3. Insert a charged battery.




The batteries can only be inserted in the indicated orientation.

Figure 5-5: Battery orientation

4. Close the cover of battery bay 1.NOTE: The R&S TSMA6/6B-BP may be used only with closed battery cover.

5. Repeat step 1 to step 4 for battery bay 2.
