Page 4: Safety Precautions
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. - Page 5 Bird Model 5000 Digital Power Meter 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.
- Page 6 Damage may occur if torque is applied to the sensor body. CAUTION Ground all instruments before connecting the TPS. Electric shock could damage the sensor. CAUTION Use a Bird adapter only and do not use the adapter with the batteries removed.
- Page 7 Bird Model 5000 Digital Power Meter CAUTION Do not exceed 2 W average or 125 W peak power for 5 µs when using the TPS or TPS-EF. Doing so will render the sensor inoperative. CAUTION Harsh or abrasive detergents and some solvents can damage the display unit and information on the labels.

Page 24: Dpm Connection
Installation DPM Connection CAUTION Always turn off the DPM before connecting or disconnecting a sensor. Although unlikely, it is possible to corrupt the power sensor firmware by connecting it to the DPM while the DPM is on. To prevent this, always turn the DPM off before connecting or disconnecting a sensor. -

Electric shock could damage the sensor. CAUTION When connecting the TPS or the TPS-EF, only turn the connector nut. Damage may occur if torque is applied to the sensor body. -
Page 26: Operation
Chapter 3 Operation The Bird Digital Power Meter is very easy to operate. Once a sensor is connected, turn the DPM on and take a reading. Additional commands are available, depending on the sensor used. Normal Operation Connect the sensor. -
Page 27: Loading Setups
NOTE: Entering 0 returns the DPM to its default scale and offset. Directional Power Sensor The Directional Power Sensor (DPS) uses Bird Plug-In Elements. These are labeled with a max power and a frequency range. The transmitter frequency should be within the element range, and the forward element power should be 10x the reverse element power. -
Page 28: Terminating Power Sensor
RF power is applied to the sensor, press ENTER and zero the sensor again. TPS-EF The Bird 5011-EF uses frequency correction factors to provide more accurate measurements. To use these, look at the label on the side of the sensor and find the correction factor for the frequency being measured. - Page 29 Bird Model 5000 Digital Power Meter...
