Page 2: Safety Precautions
Bird Directional Power Sensors Safety Precautions The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance. WARNING Keep Away From Live Circuits Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power. WARNING Shock Hazard Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present. WARNING Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid. WARNING Safety Earth Ground An uninterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied. WARNING Resuscitation Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation. WARNING Remove Power Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with the power on. -

Page 9: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Description The DPS Power Sensors are intended for use in coaxial transmission lines of 50 ohm nominal impedance. The sensors utilize elements in order to make power measurements. Each element has an arrow on it that represents the direction in which it measures power. The elements ignore power in the opposite direction with a directivity of at least 25 dB. The DPS series can make power measurements using either 43 type or APM/DPM elements, and the readings available vary, based on which elements are being used. Since the DPS uses two elements, it can measure the quality of the system by comparing the forward and the reflected power. This is usually presented in the form of VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) or Return Loss. Element Types 43 Type Elements The 43 type elements are normally used to measure peak power. These elements can measure the peak power of a system with an accuracy of +/‐8% of full scale as long as the signal meets the following requirements: At least 15 pulses per second (PPS Minimum pulse width of 15 µs (800 ns if frequency is greater than 100 MHz) Minimum Duty Cycle of 0.01% In addition, 43 type elements can be used to measure average power in signals with a peak‐to‐average ratio close to 1, like a CW or FM signals. In these cases, the average power is measured with an accuracy of +/‐ 5% of full scale. APM/DPM Elements The APM/DPM elements are used to measure true average power. True average power means the sensor provides equivalent heating power of the signal, regardless of modulation or number of carriers. These elements can measure average power with an accuracy of +/‐5% of reading from full scale down to 2.5% of full scale. Note: The equivalent heating power is dependent on the duty cycle of a signal. If a system puts out 50 watts with a 50% duty ... -
Page 10: Element Orientation
Bird Directional Power Sensors Element Orientation WARNING Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard. DO NOT connect or disconnect equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being applied. Severe burns, electrical shock, or death can occur. The forward element and the reflected element must be of the same series (APM or 43). The power rating of the forward element must be 10x the power rating of the reverse element. Insert the forward element into the forward socket with its arrow pointing in the direction of forward power. Insert the reflected element into the reflected socket with its arrow pointing in the direction of reverse power. Element Contact Alignment Continuous insertion or rotation of the element might cause a slight change in the position of the contact spring in the element socket. If the contact spring changes position, erratic power readings may be experienced. The position of the contact spring may be adjusted with a small screwdriver to reestablish contact. CAUTION If the element cannot be fully inserted into the socket, do not force it. This may damage the element. Perform the following steps to adjust the contact spring: 1. Using a small flat head screwdriver, place the flat side of the screwdriver behind the contact bar as indicated and bend the contact bar so that the contact rests in the center of the slot adjacent to the element socket. - Page 11 Introduction 2. After centering the contact, bend the contact bar slightly toward the center of the element socket bore, so that the profile of the element contact is visible when viewing the element socket from the top of the socket bore. Note: If the contact is accidentally moved too far, the element will not slide into the socket. Move the contact back into the recessed area and repeat the process.

Installation Connecting the Directional Power Sensor (DPS). WARNING Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being applied. Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard. WARNING RF voltage may be present in RF element socket. Keep element in socket during operation. 1. Do one of the following: To connect a 5009 DPS: Note: Only use DPM elements in the 5009 DPS. - Page 14 Bird Directional Power Sensors Connect one end of data cable to the RJ‐25 connector on the 5009. Connect the other end of the data cable to one of the channel input connectors on a Bird Channel Power Monitor. Figure 1 5009 Cable Connection b. To connect a 5010B or 5010T DPS: Connect the DPS to the “Sensor” serial port on the Bird Digital Power Meter using the sensor cable provided. Figure 2 5010 Cable Connection To connect a 5014 DPS: Note: There are currently three connection options for the 5014 DPS. Connect the DPS to a USB port on a PC using the sensor cable pro‐ vided.Use VPM3 software to communicate with the DPS. Connect the DPS to the “Sensor” USB port on a Bird Digital Power Meter using the sensor cable provided. Connect the DPS to an Android device using an OTG cable and USB Cable. Use the Bird RF Meter App to communicate with the DPS.
- Page 15 Installation Figure 3 5014 Cable Connections 2. Connect the RF line to the DPS so that the arrow on the sensor points towards the load, see "Element Orientation" on page 2. Note: The arrow on the forward element should point towards the load. Note: The arrow on the reflected element should point towards the source. Note: Both elements must be either APM/DPM or 43 types, do not mix elements. 3. Refer to DPM/VPM3/CPM manuals for setup parameters for the desired measurement. Note: Use the forward element’s power rating when setting up the device.
