procedures.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Refer to Manual: When product is marked with this symbol, see the

instruction manual for additional information. If the instruction manual has been misplaced, download it from www.ets-lindgren.com, or contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service.

High Voltage: Indicates presence of hazardous voltage. Unsafe practice could result in severe personal injury or death.

Protective Earth Ground (Safety Ground): Indicates protective earth terminal. You should provide uninterruptible safety earth ground from the main power source to the product input wiring terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord set.

See the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin for safety, regulatory, and other product marking information.

GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Before power is applied to this instrument, ground it properly through the protective conductor of the AC power cable to a power source provided with the protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal could result in personal injury.

Before servicing: contact ETS-Lindgren – servicing (or modifying) the unit by yourself may void your warranty. If you attempt to service the unit by yourself, disconnect all electrical power before starting. There are voltages at many points in the instrument which could, if contacted, cause personal injury.

WARRANTY

Only trained service personnel should perform adjustments and/or service procedures upon this instrument. Capacitors inside this instrument may still be CHARGED even when instrument is disconnected from its power source.

Only qualied personnel should operate (or service) this equipment.

INTRODUCTION

Model 3183B

ETS-Lindgren's Model 3183B is an end fed Mini-Bicon Antenna designed for CISPR 16-1-4 and ANSI C63.25 chamber validation testing above 1 GHz. The frequency range for the Model 3183B is 1 GHz to 18 GHz.

The Model 3183B is not weather protected, and is not recommended for outdoor testing.

Never attempt to remove the stem from the Model 3183B.

The radiation pattern is omni directional in the H plane, allowing the antenna to receive signals from every direction around the axis. The range covers most wireless bands worldwide, and is designed for the lowest possible VSWR across the range of operation. The antenna exhibits better than 2:1 VSWR for most of the range, and never exceeds 5:1 above 1 GHz.

The small size of the antenna enables it to be used for amplier harmonic measurements when performing tests per IEC 61000-4-3.

Each antenna is calibrated during manufacturing. The calibration results will be radiation pattern graphs with Pass/ Fail criteria. Typical data is provided starting on page 12.

Tripod

ETS Lindgren offers the 4 TR non metallic, non reective tripod for use at both

indoor and outdoor EMC test sites.

• Constructed of linen phenolic and delrin, designed with an adjustable center post for precise height adjustments.

• Maximum height is 2.0 m (80.0 in), and minimum height is 94 cm (37.0 in).

• Can support up to an 11.8 kg (26.0 lb) load.

MOUNTING INFORMATION

Before connecting any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment.

The Model 3183B antenna is a precision measurement device. Handle your antenna with care.

Orient to Notch

For consistency and reduced uncertainty, use the notch on the antenna shaft to orient the Model 3183B. This ensures that the same part of the Model 3183B will face the receive antenna during the sVSWR test.
