Calibration and Testing
4.1
Introduction
Information in this section is useful for periodic evaluation of the performance and/or receiving
inspection testing of the 8035XA Series Peak Power Sensors. These tests assume that the
operation of the particular 8540, 8650, Series Power Meter or Model 58542 VXI Power Meter
being used with the sensor has already been verified as described in the power meter’s
Operation & Maintenance Manual. Verifying the Frequency Cal factors stored in the sensor
EEPROM is not covered in this procedure. If necessary, the Cal Factors should be verified with
a Vector Network Analyzer using similar procedures as for standard power meter sensors.
Before starting these tests, connect the Peak Power Sensor(s) to the compatible power meter,
and allow at least 24 hours for warm-up. These tests will only be valid if the power meter and
the sensor(s) have been calibrated at an ambient temperature b20 °C and +30 °C
(+68 °F to +86 °F), and are operating within
±
3 °C (
±
5.4 °F) of the calibration temperature.
