Page 5: Important Precautions
Page 5 of 9 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Preamplifier Model PAP‐501 3. 0 Important Precautions Observe the following safety precautions to ensure user safety and maximizing the operating life of the preamplifier. • Use only the power adapter supplied with the preamplifier. • Exercise caution when handling the preamplifier because it is sensitive electrostatic discharge. • Avoid using the preamplifier in environments with excessive heat or moisture. There are no other user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not remove the main instrument cover. If the preamplifier needs repair please contact authorized Com‐Power service center. 3.1 Excessive RF input Do not exceed RF input level indicated on front panel. Excessive RF input may damage the preamplifier’s sensitive input and will not be covered under warranty. 3.2 Saturation In addition possible damage to the preamplifier input, excessive RF signals may cause the preamplifier to saturate. When a preamplifier reaches saturation point the gain will reduce and cause a nonlinear increase in output power resulting inaccurate measurements. PAP‐501 can handle up to +10 dBm (117 dBµV) input signal. 3.3 Calibration The factory recommended calibration period for the Preamplifier is 12 months. However, its performance should be checked periodically to ensure the preamplifier is operating within the rated specification given in section 2.0 of this manual. 19121 El Toro Rd ● Silverado, CA 92676 ● (949) 459‐9600● fax (949) 635‐0329 ● com‐power.com REV21516 ... -

Page 8: Troubleshooting Common Problems
Page 8 of 9 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Preamplifier Model PAP‐501 5.4 Troubleshooting Common problems Problem: Gain is low or no gain. A: Make sure the power adapter is plugged in and the green is LED is lit. Check if the input and output cables are connected securely. Wiggle both cables and verify if the signal level changes on the receiver. If the signal changes replace the defective cable and check again. Make sure the cable from the signal source is connected to the input not the output. Verify if the signal source connected and RF is turned on. If the signal source is an antenna or near field probes make sure they are properly connected. Inject a known signal level into the preamplifier and check the gain. For example if you inject 50 dBµV, you should read ~ 71 to 73 dBµV on the receiver. Please be cautious not to exceed the input limits given in specification table of this manual. ... -
