Connecting the Antenna
Antenna leads and the Field Strength Antenna are
connected to the test port. A known good RF cable can
be used to connect the antenna tester directly to a cou-
pler box, bypassing the antenna system lead. A female
TNC connector is provided. Other connectors are avail-
able, see Parts List in the maintenance section for
more information.
WARNING
Live RF energy. Do not touch or ground
the center conductor of a live RF
connection. Failure to comply may result
in equipment damage and serious burns
or death to personnel.
CAUTION
AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE
Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
precautions to avoid static discharge
when making connections to the test
port. Equipment failure can occur if the
test port is subjected to ESD.
CAUTION
250mW max. input
Exceeding the maximum input will
damage the unit. Do not connect
transmitter output to the AT-500. Damage
can also be caused by testing antennas
near other transmitting antennas. If
testing base station antennas, first
measure the power at the coax end to be
sure it does not exceed 250mW.
