B&K Precision 2640 Ni-MHbattery is rechargeable. Charging is controlled from the power of
the battery cell and the temperature of the battery. Ni-MH Rechargeable battery is going to
increase temp slowly until the temperature is extremely higher. Battery charging is finished
automatically by checking the degree of the temperature (dT/dt). For battery protection, when
the power of Battery cell is increased, comparing regular temperature and/or exterior
temperature degree of when the temperature increases over 50 degrees, battery charging will
be finished automatically.
Operating personnel must use Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery and do not operate in an
explosive atmosphere.
-The battery usage time can change due to the using term, environment and
temperature.
-When battery consumption is large battery-running time will decrease.
Operating personnel should phase in a new battery when battery -running time is less than
half of the initial operating time.
-Operating personnel should not use this instrument and/or keep the battery in
place for long periods of time, which could result in discharge of the battery.
-
To avoid damages to battery, when battery is low, this instrument will turn off
automatically.

Introduction (section 1)
Overview
The B&K Precision 2640 handheld RF Field Strength Analyzer is
optimized to analyze signals from many different source for multiple
applications. The B&K Precision 2640 has adopted a synthesizer method
and has a wideband reception range of 100 kHz to 2,000 MHz. The
characteristic of frequency response of the B&K Precision 2640 is
calculated by memorized calculation data from a “look up table”, and so it
enables the B&K Precision 2640 to measure accurate levels and make
easy analysis ofa wide range of frequency bands.
The B&K Precision 2640 provides various functions and user-friendly
interface which makes it easy to use. The handheld RF Field Strength
Analyzer is ideal for users to test, install and maintain Mobile
Telecommunications Systems, Cellular and Cordless Phone, CB Paging,
Paging Systems, Cable and Satellite TV Systems as well as antenna site
measurements and maintenance. The B&K Precision 2640 supports RS
232C serial communication and has separate GUI software. So, user can
control the B&K Precision 2640 easily after connecting the B&K Precision
2640 with a personal computer, and can utilize the analyzed data
variously after converting or saving numerical value or graph.

- Push the Mode (MHz)Key and t the top left ICON will change
to WFM, NFM, AMand SSB
order.
Sweep Mode
Sweep Mode is used to set up operation characters which interpret Input.
Every each operationcharacterissame as follows.
Free Run
Single Run
Squelch Run
Establish this mode by pushing the Sweep (kHz)Key and then
the top left ICON will be changed to FREE Run, SQUELCH Run
and SINGLE Runorder. The Sweep (kHz)Key is
used as input Start/Stop, Span and Input Frequency Unit into kHz Unit.
After input is finished Frequency,FREE Run continues to execute
Run-Scanning operation automatically.
Squelch Run operation will stop Run-Scanning in case of Signal
Level Value is getting higher than Squelch Level Value. But, If Signal Level
is getting lower than Squelch Level, restart to Run- Scanning.
After input is finished Start/Stop Frequency,Single Run execute
Run-Scanning just a once.In addition, if it is desired to Run-Scanning,
push the Run (GHz)Key and then execute Run-Scanning once

Set up Span
The span is able to be set 1MHz to 400MHz. It has two settings – 1MHz
step up to 20MHz and 20MHz step from 20MHz to 400MHz. If other
numeral keys than MHz unit key is pushed, the input unit will be set to the
nearest times byrising automatically.
Ex 1) Whenspan input is 9.25Mhz, span will be 10MHz.
Ex 2) Whenspan input is 48MHz, span will be 60MHz.
First, push the ShiftKey (Shift icon is upside-down) in order to set
up Span. The top-left ICON is changedto.
After that, push the Numerical Key. So then Frequency Input window
changes the Span Input State.

Choosing Frequency Value is a way to inputting Center and Start/Stop
Frequency.
To order to input Center Frequency just pushes the numeral keys.
Press the keywhen Frequency Input Windowis a CENT state.
Push the ShiftKey to input Start/Stop Frequency.
Push the ShiftKey to input Frequency you would like to analyze.

as Unit Input Key, Mode (MHz)and SWEEP (kHz)Key.
Execution will be done automatically, after inputting the last Unit in the
Frequency, according to a given Sweep Mode of Run-Scanning Mode. If
the mode is Single Run, push the Run (GHz)Key and then
execute Run-Scanning again.
A wrong inputting content can be erased by using the MARKER (DEL)
Key. The MARKER (DEL)Key operates like the Back
space on PC
Inputting Frequency in out of FrequencyInput Mode:
Frequencies can be deleted by pushing the MARKER (DEL)Key
several times.
Erase inputted Frequency and then push the Marker (DEL) Key one
