Installation Instructions
The test center can be installed at any point in
your transmitter line.
SWR Set
1. Turn Mode Selector Switch (#5 Fig. 1) to SWR-SET Position.
2. Turn SWR RF Level Control (#1 Fig. 1) to Min.
3. Key transmitter and turn SWR RF Level Control clockwise
(#1 Fig. 1) to give a full scale meter reading to Set Line on
the SWR Meter (#1 Fig. 1).
4. With Transmitter keyed, switch Mode Selector Switch (#5
Fig. 1) to the SWR position and read SWR ratio directly on
SWR Scale.
NOTE: The SWR Functions need to be performed on each
wattage range to prevent possible damage to the meter
movements.

Operating Instructions
Watts
The TC-4001-P Test Center will indicate the power output (in
watts) of your equipment at the point in the transmission line
where you have installed the test center. To measure any
power from 1 to 2000 watts, just set the Mode Selector Switch
(#5 FIG. 1) to the appropriate range: 20, 200, 2000 watts.
If wattage to measure is larger than 2000 watts, the 2000/
4000 switch (#3 Fig. 1) must be switched to 4000. When
returning back to the 2000 watt scale, you must return the
switch (#3 Fig. 1) back to the 2000 watt setting.
NOTE: If power output is uncertain, use the highest range
and work down until the range is appropriate to prevent
possible damage to the meter movement.
Headphone and Dial Lite
This DOSY meter is equipped with a head phone jack and
meter panel lights. For these features to work this unit must be
plugged into a 120-volt outlet with the supplied power
adapter. The power adapter cable must be plugged into
the power jack on the back of the test center. Position
the toggle switch (#6 Fig. 1) to the ON position to turn on the
lights.
Starting Tips
1. Set SWR and MOD RF level control to minimum.
2. Set Range Switch to 2000.
3. Set SWR and MOD functions on each Range to
prevent damage to the meter movements.
A.M. Modulation Check
1. Turn Mode Selector Switch (#5 Fig. 1) to the MOD position
2. Switch Set/Modulation rocker (#4 Fig. 1) to SET
3. Switch Modulation Mode rocker (#6 Fig. 1) to AM
4. Turn RF Level control (#1 Fig. 1) to MIN
5. Key Transmitter and turn RF Level Control clockwise to read
full scale to SET line on AM Modulation Scale.
6. With Transmitter keyed, switch SET/MOD rocker (#4 Fig. 1)
back to MOD position and talk into the microphone or
steadily whistle to read modulation percentage on the
AM Scale.
7. DO NOT CHECK MODULATION WITH HIGH POWER.
