    Battery charging and discharging The battery can be charged when the 44D-LXE is on or off. The 44D-LXE can be charged from any USB source that can support a 2.4-amp load, though we recommend using the supplied power supply and cable (do not charge via a laptop USB port).

    Telewave.io 44D-LXE User Manual Charging Power Supply & International Power Adapters The included power supply for charging batteries supports 100 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 hertz and is an IEC international "Plug Type A". The appropriate type C, G, or I adapters are included for the destination "ship to" country that supports the adapter standard to allow the power supply to be safely connected to the power socket in the designated country.

    The 44D-LXE has a latching push power button in the lower-left corner of the front panel. To turn the 44D-LXE ON, push the power button until you hear a clicking sound and/or you see that the power switch rim is illuminated with a blue glow. After a few seconds, the display backlight will illuminate, and the power-up sequence will be shown on the display.

    401-1000 MHz Select for measuring frequencies between 401 and 1000 MHz CAUTION: The Frequency Range is a mandatory parameter setting. The 44D-LXE may not be able to accurately measure the power of a signal if the range is not set correctly.
  • Page 13: Specifications

    Telewave.io 44D-LXE User Manual Specifications If the 44D-LXE is reading a signal that is outside the range of these specifications, the 44D-LXE will indicate “---” dBm or “0.0” Watts as the measurement. The 44D-LXE is only certified for use on 50 Ω coax-style cables.

    Calibration must be done at Telewave.io, contact Telewave.io sales for a quote. Before each 44D-LXE is calibrated, it will be inspected. A report will be provided detailing any issues found (including a battery health test report.) Any deficiencies found will be repaired (warranty for free, non-warranty if customer authorized) and then the 44D-LXE will be calibrated.
  • Page 16: Storage

    The 44D-LXE can be stored for long periods in a climate-controlled (cool & dry) environment with no damage. It is recommended to store the 44D-LXE in the TC44-R Case, or it can be wrapped in a cloth and placed into a box or other container.
  • Page 17: Appendix: Connecting The 44D-Lxe To The Circuit

    When calculating the length of the “Primary” (sometimes called a “Launch”) or “Secondary” cable, subtract 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the length of the cable to allow for the insertion of the 44D-LXE. It is suggested to have one or two test cables built for each band that needs to be tested. For example, a cable built to 159 MHz would cover 144 MHz to 174 MHz.
  • Page 18: Lxe Connection Diagram

    In this example, the final cut length for the cable would be 19.0 cm (7.5”) If a cable is required after the 44D-LXE to reach back to the feed line, that cable should be built to the same specifications as the “Primary” or “Launch” cable.
  • Page 19: Appendix: Rf Sample Port Isolation

    The Sample Port is passive and has a usable bandwidth from 30 to 960 MHz. The active components of the 44D-LXE have a narrower bandwidth of 118 to 960 MHz. The isolation provided by the sample port is consistent at 50 dB +/- 2 dB from 200 MHz up to 960 MHz (the highest frequency supported by the 44D-LXE.)
