Suitable for use in a Clean Room environment

SCC8 Series, Calibration Cart is designed for immediate, effortless use. It has three primary components.
The 4421 Multifunction Power Meter displays RF power. 4028 Series Power Sensors are highly accurate
sensors that measure RF power without requiring calibration or external couplers or attenuators. Bird
Moduloads are low reection 50 Ohm terminations that can dissipate up to 10 or 25kW. These components
are installed into a cart for easy transportation. The cart is suitable for use in a clean room environment
and is equipped with four swivel casters for maximum maneuverability.
