4.
Press the control cable plug into the connector using the locking sleeve
until the plug lock clicks into place.
To unplug the connectors:
1.
Undo the coupling nut on the N connector.
2.
Pull the control cable plug back using the ridged top of the plug until the
lock clicks open.
3.4.2 Connecting a Narda directional antenna to the
handle
Narda directional antennas can be attached to the handle in positions that
are at angles of 90 degrees to each other. This makes it quick and easy for
you to change the polarization plane of the antenna.
 Push the antenna on to the handle until you hear the connector click into
place.

To remove the antenna, press in the two unlocking buttons and pull off
the antenna.
NOTE:
The device automatically recognizes the antenna type that is connected.
This is displayed on the screen in the section showing the general
instrument configuration. If the antenna is not recognized, the associated
antenna configuration is probably missing. The antenna configuration data
are uploaded to the instrument using the IDA Tools PC software.
3.5 Attaching other Narda antennas
You can use other antennas from Narda instead of the directional antennas,
for example if you want to make omnidirectional measurements. These
antennas can either be attached directly to the instrument or connected to it
using a Narda cable.
NOTE:
Isotropic measurements with 3-axis antennas are not supported. You can
select one of the 3 axis (X, Y or Z) for the measurement.
