  • Page 16 4 screws in the rear. Place the 4530 upside down on the bench and reconnect power. Turn on the instrument and allow several minutes warmup time. b. Set the Boonton Model 2510 DC RANGE CALIBRATOR Output to OFF and its Source Resistance to 1800 ohms.
  • Page 17 Disconnect the 2510, remove power from the 4530, and reinstall the cover. 6) 50MHz Calibrator Calibration It is recommended that the 4530 be returned annually to Boonton Electronics for calibration. If that is not possible, the calibration accuracy of the 4530’s calibrator should be checked annually by performing the checkout at the end of this procedure, or by an equivalent method traceable to NIST standards.

  • Page 18: Test Setup

    (Optional) Test Setup The switch should be wired so the output of the reference calibrator (Boonton Model 2520) is routed through an adapter to input “A” of the HP8761A Coaxial Switch, and the output of the UUT’s calibrator is routed through an identical adapter to input “B” of the switch. The reference powermeter’s sensor is connected to the switch common.
  • Page 19 If there is output, but it is not within this range, the calibrator may require RF alignment (see section above) or could be defective. Set the 2520’s RF output to 0.0dBm & “ON” BOONTON ELECTRONICS a WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP COMPANY...
  • Page 20 On the Meas4530, zero the sensor as follows: Press the Zero/CAL key. Select the appropriate channel by pressing < or >. Select Zero Chan and press Enter, and wait for the zeroing process to complete. BOONTON ELECTRONICS a WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP COMPANY Scans by ArtekMedia => 2009...

  • Page 21: Calibration Verification

    Wait at least one minute to allow the power sensor to cool from recent service at or above 0dBm. d. Set the 2520’s RF output to -60dBm & “OFF”, then [select 2520]. BOONTON ELECTRONICS a WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP COMPANY...

  • Page 37: Sensor Message

    EFFECT OF CHANGES TO SENSOR DATA All BOONTON peak power meters will read and write data to the EEPROM of any peak sensor connected to an input. It is not necessary for the sensor in question to be auto-calibrated to perform the above data operations.
