Page 4: Introduction To The Pm-6000
PM-6000 Introduction to the PM-6000 The PM-6000 is a handheld broadband power meter capable of de- tecting forward and reflected power in a microwave radio system. The meter is capable of detecting various types of wireless broad- band modulation schemes in multiple frequency bands. -
Page 5: Using The Pm-6000
P R A X S Y M Using the PM-6000 The PM-6000 ships with a durable nylon case that is secured with hook and loop flaps. The package is designed so that the meter can be used while still in the nylon case. The flaps that cover and protect the meter can be secured behind the unit while it is in use. - Page 6 PM-6000 power direction. Use the arrow labeled “FORWARD SIGNAL” as a guide when connecting the meter. Pressing and quickly releasing the ON-OFF button turns the meter on. The meter will display a less than sign, “<”, along with the lowest signal level the meter can measure in the selected band if it is not connected to a source that is within the meter’s dynamic range.

VSWR of 1.5:1. Therefore, a defective or damaged antenna feed should be evident using the PM-6000 as they will indicate a VSWR higher than 1.5:1. It is possible to measure the VSWR (or return loss) of a transmission line termination by placing the meter between it and the radio. - Page 13 P R A X S Y M Page 10...
