Configuration 50/60Hz. In most cases, units shipped to North America are factory selected for 120V operation. Units bound for Japan are Input Level Calibration selected for 100V, while our friends down With the ExactCal calibration section its under and in Europe receive units set for simple to match the nominal level of the 220/240V.
The LED labeled Lo will light first, then The LEDs labeled Lo will light whenever both LEDs will light, then only the LED an input signal is within the range of 18dB labeled Hi will light. The correct setting below and 0.5dB above the nominal oper- is where both LEDs light their brightest.
observing the selection boxes to the left it was easy to say that 0dBm is 1 milliwatt of the AC mains connector on the back dissipated in the known load (i.e., 0dBm panel.
