Sensor Connection Requirements
8481A
8481H
8482A
8482H
These power sensors connect directly to the POWER REF.
8481D
8484A
Prior to calibration, an Agilent 11708A 30 dB reference attenuator 
should be connected between the power sensor and the POWER 
REF. Remove this attenuator from the power sensor input before 
making measurements.
8483A This power sensor requires a 75 Ω (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter 
(1250-0597) to connect to the POWER REF. Remove this adapter 
before making measurements.
R8486A
Q8486A
V8486A
W8486A
E8486A
R8486D
Q8486D
These waveguide power sensors have two connectors. Use the 
N-Type connector to calibrate the power meter.
8481B
8482B
These power sensors are configured with an attenuator. Prior to 
calibration this attenuator must be removed. Replace the attenuator 
before making measurements.
8485A This power sensor requires an APC 3.5 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type 
adapter (08485-60005) to connect to the POWER REF.Remove this 
adapter before making measurements.
8485D Prior to calibration, an Agilent 11708A 30 dB reference attenuator 
and an APC 3.5 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter (08485-60005) should 
be connected between the power sensor and the POWER REF. 
Remove this attenuator and adaptor before making measurements.
