Operation Precautions

If the following energy and power levels are exceeded, the power meter system
may be damaged.

a Maximum Average Power: 200 mW (+23 dBm)

b Maximum Peak Power: 200 mW (+23 dBm)

Maximum torque at the connector should not exceed 12 in- lb (135 Ncm) for
the Type- N connector, or 8 in- lb (90 Ncm) for the 3.5- mm connector to avoid
damage to the connector.

Connect the power sensor by turning only the hex nut portion of the
connector. Damage can occur if torque is applied to the power sensor body.

The connector plastic insulator bead deteriorates when contacted by acetone,
trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, etc. Refer to Application
Note 326, Principals of Microwave Connector Care (5954- 1566) or Microwave
Connector Care (08510- 90064) for proper cleaning methods.

WA RN I N G

BEFORE CONNECTING THE POWER SENSOR TO OTHER INSTRUMENTS, ensure that
all instruments are connected to the protective (earth) ground. Any interruption of
the protective earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result
in personal injury and cause damage to the power sensor.
