PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION The HP 41952A and HP 41952B Transmission/Reflection Test
Sets are used with the HP 4195A to perform bothtransmissionand reflection measurements. The HP 41952A Is used for50(1applications and the HP 41952B is used for 75napplications.Using two HP 41952A or HP 41952Btest sets,full¶metermeasurements can be performed. The following arethe mainfeature of the HP 41952A/B.
CONSIDERATIONSTheHP41952A/B Transmisslon/Reflection Test Sets conform to
thesafety requiremcnts for IEC 348, andCSA556B instruments,and is 'shippedfrom the factory in a safe condition. This opera-tion note containsinformation, CAUTIONS and WARNINGS whichmust be followed by theuser to ensure safeoperation,
UNITS COVERED BYTHISOPERATIONNOTE
Hewlett-Packard uses a two-part, nine characterserial number
which is stamped on the serial number plate (see Figure 1-1)
attached to theinside of the carrying case. The first four digits
and a letteraretheprefix and thelastfivedigits are the suffix of
theserial number, The letter in the serial, number identifies the
country where the instrument was manufactured. The prefix is
same for all identicalinstruments, it changes only when achangeIs made to the instrument. The suffix, however, is assignedsequentially and is different foreachInstrument. This operationnote applies to instruments with serial number prefixes listedunderSerial Numbers on the title page.

INTRODUCTION This section providesthe performancetest proceduretoensure
that the HP 41952A/B meets the specifications listed in Table1-3,Specifications. The performance test can be performedwithoutaccessing the interior of the HP 41952A/B.
The test results should be recordedinto the Performance Test
Record located at the end of thissection.
EQUIPMENTREQUIRED
The equipment requiredfor performance testing is listed in Table4-1. Substitutionscanbemadefor the equipment in thislist ifthe specifications meet or exceedthe specifications listedinthe
The HP 41952A/3 requires periodic performance Verification. The''
HP 41952A/B bliould be checked out usingthe performancetestat least once a year or more dependingonthe frequency of use. ,Preventive maintenance should be performed at least twice a yearto keepdowtt-time to a minimum, and to insure optimumoperation.
PREPARATION This paragraph providesthe information you needto know, and
the steps you must perform before starting the performancetest.
