Back Panel
Explanation of Features:
1.
Meter Display: Indicates Forward/Reflected Power in Watts and SWR ratio.
2.
Function Switch: Selects Forward Power, Reflected Power, SWR SET, and SWR.
3.
Range Switch: Selects RF Power Ranges of 30W, 300W, and 3KW.
4.
SWR SET Control Knob: Sets full scale deflection when measuring SWR.
5.
AVG/PEP Monitor: Selects Average or PEP RF Power Readings.
6.
Meter Zero adjust: Mechanical zero adjustment for meter needle.
7.
TX Connector: Coax connector to transmitter 50 Ohm RF output.
8.
ANT Connector: Coax connector to 50 Ohm antenna system.
9.
13.8V DC connection for meter illumination.
Note: If meter lighting is required, use the DC cable enclosed and connect it to a 13.8V DC
source.
FORWARD POWER MEASUREMENT
1.
Set the FUNCTION switch to the ‘FWD’ position.
2.
Set the radio transceiver to transmit and read the scale corresponding to the Power
range selected (30W, 300W, or 3KW)
3.
When the AVG/PEP button is ‘out’ the meter reads average RF power. When the
AVG/PEP button is depressed the meter reads Peak Envelope Power for use with SSB
and AM transmissions. In this mode there will be a slow rise and decay time.
REFLECTED POWER MEASUREMENT
1.
Set the FUNCTION switch to the ‘REF’ position.
2.
Set the radio transceiver to transmit and read the scale corresponding to the Power
range selected (30W, 300W, or 3KW)
3.
When the AVG/PEP button is ‘out’ the meter reads average RF power. When the
AVG/PEP button is depressed the meter reads Peak Envelope Power for use with SSB
and AM transmissions. In this mode there will be a slow rise and decay time.
