eco-100 - Power off safely method?

#1 · 14/07/2024, 01:02

Im really happy with my eco-100 (and the great rsa software!) - i want to handle it properly.

1- when im finished using it, what is the recommended power off (and storage) process?

ie should i exit RSA software, and then disconnect usbC from PC? (or can i leave usb-c connected and eco powered on for several days between usage sessions?)
is it necessary to always disconnect SMA to antenna also? ( goes to a isoLog mobile 9080).

I know none of these are 100% guaranteed rules, but just general guidance / suggestions please.

thanks

If you want to be sure all the time disconnect USB and SMAs and protect the SMAs with the supplied caps - done.

But in 99% of all cases you can leave it as it is (USB and antenna connected) but never forget to use the limiter.

understood , thank you. - just to be clear, in terms of limiter, you are referring to something like this (at the bottom):

and your suggestion is that the Limiter should always be connected, even when unit is powered off/disconnected. (Only time for it not to be connected perhaps is during transportation of the unit for example), right?

Yes exactly but no need without antenna attached.
