EMI impact on measurement results
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
●
Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-shielded
RF and LAN cables.
●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.

Connecting to a DUT
For connecting the power sensor to a DUT, use the RF connector. See
Risk of overloading the sensor
Using a power sensor at a level above its upper measuring limit can dam-
age the sensor head. To avoid this risk, make sure not to exceed the test
limit.
The test limits specified on the type label are valid only for the supplied
attenuator. For operation without attenuator, lower test limits apply, as
specified in the data sheet.
To connect to the DUT
1. Ensure that the RF connector of your DUT is compatible with the RF connec-
tor of the power sensor.
2. Insert the RF connector straight into the RF output of your DUT. Take care not
to tilt it.

NOTICE!
Risk of damaging the center pin of the RF connector. Always rotate
only the hex nut of the RF connector. Never rotate the power sensor itself.
