Operating Instructions
Use and
Function of
Controls
Because these are passive devices, there are no operating
controls on the Models 8201 and 8203 Load Resistors.
Initial
Adjustments
No initial adjustments are required other than to connect
the load to the RF source by means of a coaxial cable
equipped with a suitable matching connector plug.
Start-up
1. Connect a Male N type plug, which mates with
the RF input connector, to the load.
2. Connect the Model 8201 or 8203 Termaline Load
Resistor to the transmitting equipment under
test with 50 ohm coaxial cable.
3. After the transmitter has been connected to the
load, proceed according to the transmitter manu-
facturer’s instructions.
When reconnecting the antenna, it may become necessary to
slightly readjust the transmitter due to possible differences
in VSWR between the load and the antenna system.
Normal
Operation
WARNING
When power is in the upper range of the load’s
capacity, the radiator will become hot - care should be
used in touching the equipment.
Having no indicators or controls, these loads require no spe-
cial operating procedures or surveillance when properly
used.
