The DT-4572 converts the input RF frequency to an output IF frequency. The RF
input level is -45 dBm (typical), and the RF output level is 0 dBm (typical).
Figure B-2 identifies the DT-4572 front panel features:
• Item 1 – Rack handles. See Chapter 3. INSTALLATION AND STARTUP to
review the installation information and to prepare for checkout.
• Item 2 – Sample Test Points. See Sect. B.2.1 for details.
• Front panel operations – See Chapter 6. FRONT PANEL OPERATION for
details about using the LEDs (Item 3), VFD (Item 4) and its menu system,
and the keypad (Item 5).

Sample Test Points
Use these test point connections to monitor the RF input and the IF output:
• The 'RF' Type 'SMA' female connector provides the RF input. An optional
RF LO monitor is available that replaces this RF monitor connection.
• The 'IF' BNC female connector provides the IF output.
