Interconnection and Calibration
Connect one end of the supported sensor cable to the N8480 Series power
sensor and connect the other end of the cable to the power meter's
channel input. Allow approximately four seconds for the power meter to
download the data from the power sensor's EEPROM.

• For B-models power sensors, you must disconnect the attached attenuator before

• The waveguide-models power sensors have two inputs:
For power sensors with Type-N connector, connect the power sensor to the power
C A U T I O N
meter by turning the nut only. The power sensor can be damaged if the torque is
applied to the power sensor's body.
Before connecting the power sensor to other instruments, ensure that all
WA R N I N G
instruments are connected to the protective (earth) ground. Any interruption of the
protective earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in
personal injury.

•
Type-N connector — for a 50 MHz 1 mW calibration signal generated by the
power meter
•
Waveguide flange — to be connected to the test port during actual measurement.
