Unpacking and Inspection 

Each instrument is electrically and mechanically inspected before shipment. Upon receiving 
your new TEGAM RF Power Meter, unpack all items from the shipping container and inspect 
the  items  for  any  obvious  damage  that  may  have  occurred  during  transit.  Notify  TEGAM 
immediately  if  damage,  dents,  or  other  irregularities  are  found.  Use  the  original  packing 
materials if reshipment is necessary.  

 

Included With the GEMINI RF Power Meter 

Each GEMINI 5540A RF Power Meter is shipped with: 

 

GEMINI  5540A  RF  Power  Meter,  with  input  and  output  connectors  as  specified  by 
customer at time of purchase 

 

CA-65-72, USB Type A to Type B Data Transfer and Power Cable, 36 Inches 

 

1500-910 Transport Case 

 

5540A-901, GEMINI 5540A RF Power Meter Quick Start Guide 

 

Calibration Certificate and Documentation 

 

Model Number Configuration 

Each  GEMINI  RF  Power  Meter  is  configurable  with  various  connector  combinations  to  meet 
measurement  system  requirements.  A  part  number  identifying  the  base  model  of  the 
instrument  and  its  connector  configuration  is  found  on  the  calibration  label  and  calibration 
certificate.  

The part number takes the form of [BASE MODEL]-[INPUT CONNECTOR TYPE][input connector 
gender]-[OUTPUT CONNECTOR TYPE][output connector gender]. For instance, a model 5540A 
with Type N female connectors on both the input and output ports will be numbered 5540A-
Nf-Nf. 

Note:

 

Changing the connector configuration in place at the time of calibration will invalidate 

the calibration data and certification and may impact maximum rated input power. If different 
connector  types  or  genders  are  required,  contact 

TEGAM

  for  connector  replacement  and 

recalibration in the new configuration.
