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 manufacturer’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
Having no indicators or controls, these loads require no special operating
procedures or surveillance when properly used.
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.
