2. AC Mains Adapter
3. Instruction Book
4. 9-pin Serial Cable
Optional Equipment
Directional Power Sensor (DPS)
Bird 5010B Thruline Sensor,
requires two 43 or APM/DPM
elements. The DPS measures
both forward and reverse power,
so VSWR and other match mea-
surements can be calculated and displayed.
Note:
The 5010B replaces the Bird 5010.
The 5010 was only compatible with APM/DPM
elements, and lacked peak-reading capability.
The 5000-EX will still recognize the 5010.
Terminating Power Sensors (TPS)
Highly accurate terminating
sensors; do not require ele-
ments.
The Bird 5011 frequency range is 40 MHz – 4 GHz.
The 5011-EF frequency range is 40 MHz – 12 GHz.
