  • Page 8 To CALIBRATE POWER: - Disconnect the power cord and while reconnecting, push the POWER button - Connect the Coupler as in the figure to a 50 Ohm dummy load - Transmit a precise power of 80Watt in CW - Save measurement with SAVE button - Repeat the operation for all bands 160 to 6mt.
  • Page 9 To RESET device: - Disconnect the power cord and while reconnecting, push the SETUP button - Confirm EEPROM deletion with MODE button - After the reset, recalibrate the wattmeter. Erasing the EEPROM involves the loss of all calibration parameters. This is a service menu that displays the spectrum of V / I (voltage/current) signals taken from the measurement coupler.
