VERSATILITY

TO HANDLE ANY JOB

The Model 5000 operates over a broader frequency range than any

Bird meter produced to date, covering 2 MHz to 3600 MHz (based upon

element selection*). Coupled with the ability to measure True Average

Power from 1 to 1000 Watts, the Model 5000 handles Cellular, PCS,

AMPS, CDMA, GSM, TDMA, ISM, UMTS, 3G Wireless, WLL, Paging,

Conventional/Trunked Radio, Aviation, Military, and Analog or Digital

Audio and Television Broadcast.

READINGS

ANY WAY

YOU NEED THEM

The highly-visible, back-lit LCD display simultaneously shows

forward and reflected power or other selected parameters in digital

format, while a 20-segment analog bar graph tracks forward power

readings. Display annunciators show measurement mode, units,

sensor type, overrange, battery condition, and “Speed Key”

functions. Readings can be expressed as Watts, dB Return Loss and %

Match Efficiency. VSWR is automatically calculated from forward and

reflected power for fast, convenient antenna checks.

*DPM elements are available.

BIRD’S MOST SOPHISTICATED THRULINE

®

SENSOR SYSTEM

IS THE HEART OF THE

MODEL

5000

The Model 5010 Dual-Socket THRULINE®Power Sensor is a

precision 50-ohm 7/8-inch “Smart” Line Section which accepts

Bird digital-ready Plug-in Elements. The Model 5010 Sensor

provides true average power readings for digital as well as traditional

analog RF systems.

The Model 5010 Power Sensor is compatible with many existing

Bird accessories for 7/8" line, including signal samplers, and over 20

types of QC connectors. QC Connectors can rapidly and conveniently be

changed in the field by removing four screws from the connector.

Use of an external sensor design makes the Model 5000 Digital

Power Meter a perfect platform for sensor enhancements and

cross-platform compatibility with other Bird product lines. Contact us

concerning new developments.
