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 throughly understood, and apply
to all phases of operation and maintenance.
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to disconnect an RF transmission line while RF power is pres
ent. Radiated RF power is a potential health hazard.
Chemical Hazard
Dry cleaning solvents used to clean parts may be dangerous. Avoid inhalation
of fumes and also prolonged contact with skin.
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern
methods of resuscitation.
Safety Symbols
WARNING
Warning notes call attention to a procedure, which if not correctly
performed, could result in personal injury.
CAUTION
Caution notes call attention to a procedure, which if not correctly
performed, could result in damage to the instrument.
This symbol appears on the equipment indicating there is im

Introduction
This instruction book is intended for use by operators and in
stallers of the Model 8072A-1 and 8072A-2 load resistor.
Description
The Bird Model 8072A-1 and 8072A-2 Termaline Coaxial
Load Resistor is a dry (air dielectric), conduction cooled
(needs heat sink), type 50-ohm RF (Radio Frequency) line
termination. It is capable of dissipating 300 W of continuous
power when properly mounted to a suitable heat sink. The
load is designed for a reflection-free termination of a trans
mission line and is efficient in any position. The Model
8072A-1 and 8072A-2 is normally supplied with an N-Type
Female connector.
Installation
Unpacking
and
Inspection
ConnectionsA suitable heat sink is required. It must be of such capacity
All packages are carefully inspected prior to shipment. If
package shows any sign of damage, promptly inspect the device. If any damage is visible, notify the shipping carrier and
Bird Electronic of the damage.
Retain the shipping materials for repackaging.
that at 300 W of continuous input, the temperature on top of
the load body will not exceed 155°C (311°F). Use an alumi
num plate of at least 800 sq. in. by 1/8 in. thick (5200cm² x
3mm) or equivalent.

Attach the load to a suitable heat sink as follows:
1. Apply a thin film of heat transfer compound over
the entire mating surface.
+
NOTE: The film, when flattened, must not ex
ceed a thickness of 0.001 inch.
2. Mount the load to the heat sink using six mount
ing screws, preferably stainless steel, and of suit
able length to include the 1-1/32 inch load body,
heat sink thickness, washer and nut.
Cleaning1. Gently remove loose dirt and grime using a soft
clean cloth dampened detergent and water. Do
not use paint thinner or other solvents that may
cause damage to the finish.

2. RF Connectors - Clean RF connectors with a cot
ton swab dampened with alcohol, or any accept

-
able dry cleaning solvent.
NOTE: Keep the RF connectors covered when
+
not in use. This will prevent dust and dirt from
accumulating in the connectors.
Items required:
Multimeter or ohmmeter with accuracy of ±1% @ 50 ohms.
Temperature of the load @ 20° to 25° C (68° to 77° F).
VSWR and RF Impedance are the true benchmark of a quality dummy load. Checking the dc resistance is simply used to
measure a change in the condition of the resistor over time.
The tracking of the dc resistance must start before the resistor is first put into service. Perform the following steps and
record the value for future comparison. Check and record the
resistance of the load periodically according to use.
WARNING
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the equipment
from a transmission line while RF power is applied.
Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
1. Disconnect RF Coaxial Line.
2. Connect multimeter with a short length of low re
sistance cable equipped with a Male N (or appli
-
cable) connector, or connect multimeter test leads
across center and outer conductor of the load re
sistor.
3. Record the value of the resistance before the load
is put into service. Compare subsequent values
with the latest reading. If the values vary more
than 2 ohms this could be an indication of a fail
-
ing resistive element.

Limited Warranty
All products manufactured by Seller are warranted to be free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year, unless otherwise spec
ified, from date of shipment and to conform to applicable specifications, draw
ings, blueprints and/or samples. Seller’s sole obligation under these
warranties shall be to issue credit, repair or replace any item or part thereof
which is proved to be other than as warranted; no allowance shall be made
for any labor charges of Buyer for replacement of parts, adjustment or re
pairs, or any other work, unless such charges are authorized in advance by
Seller.
If Seller’s products are claimed to be defective in material or workmanship or
not to conform to specifications, drawings, blueprints and/or samples, Seller
shall, upon prompt notice thereof, either examine the products where they
