Connecting the Terminating Power Sensor (TPS)
Discharge all static potentials before connecting the TPS(-EF). Electrostatic
When connecting the TPS or the TPS-EF, only turn the connector nut. Damage
may occur if torque is applied to the sensor body.
Do not exceed 2 W average or 125 W peak power for 5 μs when using the TPS
or the TPS-EF. Doing so will render the sensor inoperative.
Note: Connections are the same for the Bird 5011 and 5011-EF.
1. Do one of the following:
For Model 5011:
Connect the Bird TPS to the "Sensor" serial port on the DPM using the
sensor cable provided.
For Model 5015:
Connect the Bird TPS to the "Sensor" USB port on the DPM using the
sensor cable provided.
Note: An attenuator or directional coupler should be used with
the TPS in most applications.
Example - For an RF source with output between 0.1 and
50 W, use a 40 dB, 50 W attenuator.
2. Connect the TPS RF input to the source (using an attenuator, if
appropriate).
Note: Only connect the TPS directly to a source if the RF power
will be less than 10 mW.
Resetting the 5000-XT
Pressing and holding down the 5 button for two seconds will reset the unit.
The unit will return to default settings and pop-up the language selection menu.
CAUTION
shock could damage the sensor.
