Manual
If anything is missing, give us a call and we'll remedy the problem.
The PM5K consists of two major components: The Display Unit
and the Directional Coupler. The Directional Coupler is installed in
series with the output of your transmitter and antenna. A six-foot
(1.8m) cable is provided for connection between the Display Head
and the Directional Coupler. You may use a longer cable if you
wish (consult the Special Applications section later in this manual).
T
he PM5K uses a standard 2.1mm coaxial power plug, center
pin is + V. Make sure your power source can supply at least
600 ma of current.
Recheck your cables/adapters and fasten them down appropri-
ately. Turn on the power to the Display Head. You should see the
firmware version number displayed, and then the PM5K will go to
its normal operational state.
Note that the display will become dimmer after 2 minutes of not
sensing power, and completely dark after 10 minutes of not sens-
ing power. This feature allows you to keep the meter on all the
time and not reduce the lifetime of the display.
