Boonton 4500B RF Peak Power Analyzer
Installation 2-3
Note If the sensor connector is not a type N, install the appropriate adapter (from the
accessories kit) on the calibrator output connector.
Trigger
For measurements requiring external triggering, connect the external trigger
signal to TRIGGER Input 1. For two-channel measurements requiring two
external triggers, connect the Channel 2 trigger signal to TRIGGER Input 2.
Printer / Plotter
If a printer or plotter is to be used to record measurement data, connect the
device to the RS-232 connector or LPT1 port on the rear panel, or USB port on
the front or rear panel, with an appropriate cable.
GPIB
If the instrument is to be operated remotely, using the GPIB (IEEE-488) bus,
connect the instrument to the bus using the rear panel GPIB connector and
appropriate cable.
2.4 Preliminary Check
The following preliminary check verifies that the instrument is operational and has the correct software
installed. It should be performed before the instrument is placed into service. To perform the preliminary
check, proceed as follows:
1. Press the lower half (marked "0") of the power switch in the center of the power module on the rear
panel.
2. Connect the AC (mains) power cord to a suitable AC power source; 90 to 260 volts AC, 47 to 63 Hz,
with a capacity in excess of 125 W. The power supply will automatically adjust to voltages within this
range.
3. Press the upper half (marked "1") of the power switch in the center of the power module on the rear
panel. The yellow ―STBY‖ LED on the front panel should be lit.
4. Press the PWR key to turn the instrument on. The green ―ON‖ LED on the front panel should be lit.
5. After a self-check, the instrument will execute the application program. A blue and white initialization
screen should briefly appear that shows the instrument name, model number, and software version. After
several moments a screen similar to Figure 2-2 should be displayed.
6. On the front panel, press the UTIL function key followed by the Util > Inst Status > REPORT menu
key. A display similar to Figure 2-3 should appear.
