4.5 PERIODIC PERFORMANCE
TESTING
The Sabre 2400 should be performance tested
at least every six months. Every unit is supplied
with a serialized Production Test Data Sheet that
tabulates the results of the factory tests that were
performed on the unit. This data is supplied so
that it may be used as a reference for subsequent
tests. Recommended periodic performance tests
are listed in the following sections.
When comparing your RF output current read-
ings to those on the Test Data Sheet, bear in
mind that most RF ammeters may read an error
up to 3% of full scale. This means an actual cur-
rent of 0.60A may register on a 1A meter any-
where from 0.57 to 0.63A.
