Directional Power Sensor Measurements
Note: The forward element’s power rating must be entered before
taking data.
1. Connect the sensor. See “Connecting a Sensor” on page 112.
2. Press the Forward Scale soft key then use the Up and Down arrow keys to
enter the wattage value of the forward element.
3. Press the Type menu key, then press the Forward Average soft key.
Note: The Forward Average value displays in large characters at the
top of the screen.
4. Select the desired measurement to display.
Terminating Power Sensor Measurements
1. Connect the sensor. See “Connecting a Sensor” on page 112.
2. Press “Start Zero Calibration” soft key to Zero-calibrate the sensor. See
“Zero” on page 116.
Note: The 5011 should be zero-calibrated before taking measure-
ments. Do not apply RF to the sensor during calibration. Optional if
measuring higher powers. For additional information, refer to the
owner’s instruction book for the TPS.
Note: Wait for the calibration to finish before continuing.
3. ONLY if the 5011 is connected to the system through a coupler or attenua-
tor, press the Input Offset soft key, in the Configure menu, and use the key
pad to enter the amount of attenuation. See “Configure” on page 120.
Wideband Power Sensor Measurements
1. Connect the sensor. See “Connecting a Sensor” on page 112.
2. Select one of the following options:
Note: A separate power supply for the WPS is not required when
using a SignalHawk.
Filter: Full - Selects a video filter value. Narrowing the filter limits noise con-
tributed by interference signals. Select one of three filter values: Full (10 MHz),
Medium (400 kHz), or Low (4.5 kHz). See “Configure” on page 120.
Note: For additional information about video filtering, refer to the
owner’s instruction book for the WPS.
WARNING
Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the transmission
line while RF power is being applied.
Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
