Introduction
Chapter 16
CAUTION Removal of the D-ring that is on the sensor assembly WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY. The input connector on the sensor has a D-ring to prevent the sensor
from being connected to a high power source when its attenuator is not attached.
The sensor must only be connected to the power meter for calibration or to the high
power attenuator for RF measurement.
Safety Considerations
The warning that follows is related to possible personal injury.
WARNING The high power attenuator contains a substrate of beryllium oxide. Beryllium
oxide in a powder form is a hazardous material and may be injurious to your
health if inhaled. Do not perform any operation on the beryllium oxide that
might generate dust. Defective attenuator should be returned to Agilent
Technologies for proper disposal.
8480 series, Options
8485A and 8485D option 033
The 8485A and 8485D power sensors with option 033 are calibrated to measure
power levels in the 50 MHz to 33 GHz frequency range. In all other respects, they
are the same as their respective standard power sensor.
Accessories Supplied
Accessories are required to connect various power sensors to the power meter's 50
ohm, Power Reference (1 mW, 50 MHz) output connector (Type-N (f)).
