Note: The specifications for the Model 8203 ap-
ply only as long as the ambient temperature
remains at 30°C (+86°F) or lower.
Dimensions
and Weight
The Models 8201 and 8203 are 16-13/16 inches L x 5-15/16
inches W x 8-1/2 inches H (427 x 151 x 216 mm). They have
a net weight of 20.4 lb (9.2 kg) and a shipping weight of ap-
proximately 26 lb (12 kg).
Power and
Utility
Requirements
As load resistors, the Models 8201 and 8203 are passive de-
vices that are self contained and do not require a source of
power or utility service to perform their function, other than
the RF input power.
Environmenta
l
Requirements
The load should be operated in an environment as free of
dust and vibration as possible. For proper operation the am-
bient temperature should remain within the range of -40°C
to +45°C (-40°F to +113°F) for Model 8201 and -40°C to
+30°C (-40°F to +86°F) for Model 8203. Allow at least six
inches of clear space around the load to provide an unim-
peded flow of convection air currents for adequate heat dis-
sipation.
Items
Supplied
The load is equipped with:
s
Model 8201 — Female N connector of a pat-
ented “Quick-Change” design.
s
Instruction Manual.
s
Model 8203 — Double Male N adapter, and a
connector dust cap.
s
Instruction Manual.
Because these load resistors are self contained, they have no
additional parts.
Items
Required
Only a coaxial cable with the appropriate connector plug
(normally a Male N or, with the Model 8203, a Female N), is
needed for connecting these load resistors to the source of
RF power.
Tools and
Test
Equipment
s
Screwdrivers — for disassembly of this equip-
ment.
s
An ohmmeter with an accuracy of 1 percent or
better at 50 ohms is recommended for check-
ing the resistance value of the resistor.
