Safety Precautions

The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance.

WARNING

Keep Away From Live Circuits

Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do

not replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test

equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties,

always remove power.

purpose of service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of

someone who is capable of rendering aid.

WARNING

Safety Earth Ground

An uniterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power

source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor

power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if

this grounding is not properly supplied.

WARNING

Resuscitation

Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern

methods of resuscitation.

WARNING

Remove Power

Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with the

Directional Power Sensor (DPS)

The Bird 5010B and 5014 Thruline® Sensors require two 43 or APM/DPM elements. The DPS measures both forward and reverse power, so VSWR and other match measurements can be calculated and displayed.

Note: The 5010B replaces the Bird 5010. The 5010 was only compatible with APM/DPM elements, and lacked peak-reading capability. The 5000-XT will s till recogniz e the 5010.

Terminating Power Sensors (TPS)

The Bird 5011and 5015 series terminating power sensors do not require elements. The Bird 5011 and 5015 have a frequency range of 40 MHz – 4 GHz. The 5011EF and 5015-EF sensors have a frequency range of 40 MHz – 12 GHz.

Wideband Power Sensor (WPS)

The Bird 5012B, 5016B, 5017B, 5018B, and 5019B Thruline Sensors do not require elements. The WPS can measure average, peak, or burst power, VSWR, crest factor, and Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF).

4. Press Enter to return to normal operation when zeroing is complete.

Note: c.If “FAIL” is displayed, make sure no RF power is applied to the sensor and perform the procedure again.

Video Filter

Except for average power and VSWR measurements, all measurements use a variable video filter to improve accuracy. This filter can be set to either 4.5 kHz, 400 kHz, or Full bandwidth.

Note: It should be as narrow as possible while s till being larger than the demodulated signal bandwidth (video bandwidth). Narrowing the filter limits the noise contribution from interf ering signals.

Listed below are some common modulation schemes and the appropriate video filter.

Video Filter Modulation Type

4.5 kHz CW Burst (Burst width > 150 s), Voice Band AM, FM, Phase Modulation, Tetra

400 kHz CW Burst (b.w. > 3 s), GSM, 50 kHz AM,

DQPSK (¼, symbol rate < 24 k/s)

Full Bandwidth CW Burst (b.w. > 200 ns), CDMA, WCDMA,

DQPSK (¼, symbol rate < 200 k/s), DAB/DVB-T

Average Mode

This mode displays the average forward and reflected power.

Note: In average mode, the VS WR or sys tem match can be displayed instead of the reflected power.

Peak Mode

This mode displays the peak envelope power.

Burst Mode

This mode displays the average power in a burst. The burst’s duty cycle is measured by the DPM.

Crest Factor Mode

The crest factor is the ratio of the forward peak power and the forward average power. It is measured in dB.

Note: There are no additional c ontrols in this mode.

CCDF Mode

The CCDF measures the percentage of time the power level is above a threshold. To set the power threshold:

1. Press menu.

2. Select CCDF Limit from the Main Menu.

3. Enter new value.

Chapter 5 Maintenance

Cleaning

CAUTION

Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents for cleaning.

Clean the Bird Digital Power Meter and its display with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water only. Clean sensors with a dry cleaning solvent that leaves no residue.

Battery Maintenance

Charging Batteries

Fully charged batteries provide about 20 hours of continuous operation with the Bird WPS, 50 hours with other sensors. Charging time is typically 5 hours using the AC adapter. The batteries charge whenever the DPM is connected to AC or DC power sources, using either the AC Mains adapter or the automobile cigarette lighter adapter. When the external adapter is connected, the battery level indicator will blink until the battery is fully charged. When using the internal batteries, the indicator will be on continuously and the black bar will show the battery change remaining. The unit will charge with its power turned either on or off.

Note: F or optimum bat tery lif e, only charge the batt eries after the battery level indicator empties complet ely and begins to blink.

Prolonging Battery Life

To prolong battery life and optimize the accuracy of battery charge displays:

 Charge the battery while the DPM is plugged into external power

through the AC adapter.

 Charge it fully before turning on.  The battery charges whether the DPM is off or in use, but the battery

charges faster while the DPM is off.

 Charging may be delayed if a battery is new, has been unused for 2

weeks or more, or is much warmer or cooler than room temperature.

Conserving Battery Power

Conserving power during operation

 Disconnect external devices that you are not using that are not plugged

into an external power source.

 Stop, disable, or remove any sensors that you are not using.  If left alone, initiate Sleep mode or shut down completely.

Storing a battery

CAUTION

To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures

for extended periods of time.

 If the 5000-XT will be unused and unplugged from external power for

more than 2 weeks, remove the battery and store it separately.

 To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a cool, dry

place.

 Calibrate a battery pack before using it if it has been stored for one

month or more.

Managing Low-Battery Conditions

The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory.

Identifying Low-Battery Conditions

The battery power indicator shows the battery power level is low.

Resolving Low-Battery Conditions

When External Power is Available - To resolve a low-battery condition

when external power is available, connect one of the following:

 AC adapter  Optional expansion product  Optional power adapter

When a Charged Battery is Available - To resolve a low-battery condition

when a charged battery is available:

1. Shut down the 5000-XT. See “Shutting Down” on page 13.

2. Insert a charged battery pack.

3. Turn on the the 5000-XT.

When No Power Source is Available - To resolve a low-battery condition

when no power source is available:

 Initiate sleep mode. See “Shutting Down” on page 13.  Log trace (see “Logging Menu” on page 42)and turn off the 5000-XT

(see “Shutting Down” on page 13).

When the 5000-XT Cannot Restore from Sleep Mode - To resolve a low-

battery condition when the DPM lacks the power to restore from sleep mode:

1. Do one of the following:

 Insert a charged battery (see “Battery Replacement” on page 47).  Plug the computer into an external power source (see “Charging Bat-

teries” on page 45).

2. Restore from hibernation by pressing the power button.

Calibrating the Battery

Note: E ven if a bat tery pack is heavily used, it should not be neces-

sary to calibrate it more than once a month.

Note: It is not necessary t o calibrat e a new bat tery pack. Note: Calibrat e a battery pack under the f ollowing conditions:

When battery charge displays seem inaccurate When there is a significant change in battery run time When the battery has been unused for one month or more

1. Charge the battery. See “Charging Batteries” on page 45.

2. Discharge the battery fully through normal use.

3. Recharge the battery. See “Charging Batteries” on page 45.

Battery Replacement

The Lithium Ion (Li18S) batteries do not normally need to be replaced. If necessary, however, follow these instructions (see Figure 5).

WARNING

Disconnect from external power before any disassembly.

The potential for electric shock exists.
