The four numbers of the prefix are a code identifying the date of the last major design change incorporated in your Keysight Technologies product. The four-digit suffix is a sequential number and, coupled with the prefix, provides a unique identification for each unit produced.
CW microwave power levels in a wide dynamic range from -70 dBm to +20 dBm (100 pW to 100 mW). The E4412A measures at frequencies from 10 MHz to 18.0 GHz. The E4413A measures at frequencies from 50 MHz to 26.5 GHz.
Keysight Technologies representative. Interconnections Connect one end of the 11730A sensor cable to the E4412A or E4413A power sensor and connect the other end of the cable to the power meter’s channel input. Allow a few seconds for the power meter to download the power sensor’s calibration table before making a measurement.
Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available through Keysight Technologies offices. If the instrument is being returned to Keysight Technologies for servicing, attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model number, and serial number.

Operating instructions The E4412A and E4413A power sensors are compatible ONLY with the newer E44XX-Series power meters. They are NOT compatible with the earlier 430-Series, E1416A, or 70100A power meters. To operate the power sensor, refer to the operating instructions in the Keysight E44XX-Series Power Meter User’s...
2 Set the start frequency of the network analyzer to 10 MHz or 50 MHz and the stop frequency to 18 GHz for E4412A or 26.5 GHz for E4413A or 33 GHz for H33 option. For the calibration, power must be 0 dBm and 17 dBm.

Power linearity performance verification The power linearity performance verification measures the relative linearity error of the E-Series E4412A and E4413A power sensor. All measurements are performed at 50 MHz. The reference power level for the linearity measurement is 0 dBm.
Page 31
Record the values as P at 0 dBm and P at 0 dBm. Do not exceed the maximum input power (27 dBm) of the power splitter to CAUTION avoid damage to the power splitter. Keysight E4412A and E4413A Operating and Service Guide...
Zero set is the difference between the power levels indicated by the DUT, after executing zeroing and the true zero power. Ideally, this difference should be zero. This performance verification requires the E4416/7A power meter. Keysight E4412A and E4413A Operating and Service Guide...

Subjecting a power sensor module above its maximum allowable power rating is considered a misuse or self-abuse and is excluded from Keysight Technologies’ standard warranty coverage. Refer to the Power Sensor Electrical Overstress (EOS) Failure Verification Guideline at https://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5992-4039EN.pdf.
– Do not overtighten connectors and do not allow them to become loose — use a torque wrench. – Do not mate dissimilar families, for example APC-3.5 and SMA. – Avoid temperature extremes. Keysight E4412A and E4413A Operating and Service Guide...
Clean the connector face using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. If the swab is too big use a round wooden toothpick wrapped in a lint free cotton cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Refer to Keysight Application Note 326, Principals of Microwave Connector Care (5954-1566) or Microwave Connector Care (08510-90064) for proper cleaning methods.
