INITIAL
INSPECTION Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the container or cushioning
material is damaged, retain until the contents of the shipment have been
checked against the packing list and the instrument has been checked for
mechanical and electrical operation.
If the power meter is damaged mechanically, notify your local sales repre-
sentative or Anritsu Customer Service Center. If either the shipping con-
tainer is damaged or the cushioning material shows signs of stress, notify
the carrier as well as Anritsu. Retain the shipping materials for the car-
rier's inspection.

SENSOR
HANDLING The sensors are enclosed in a polycarbonate case to help prevent dam-
age. The sensor connectors, however, are exposed and are a critical part
of the microwave instrument. Refer to the MA24XXA Series Power Sensor
manual (10585-00004) for detailed information on proper connector care.

POWER
REQUIREMENTS The ML2430A Series Power Meter can be operated from either AC line
power, external DC power, or from the optional internal battery. The
ML2430A Series Power Meter is intended as an Installation (Overvoltage)
Category II, Insulation Category I device.
At power-on, the power meter will perform a brief power-on self test
(POST). If a POST error occurs, information and available options will be
displayed on the screen (See Chapter 4, page 4-3). If the POST is suc-
cessful, the instrument will load the last used configuration, unless Secure
mode has been selected (see Chapter 4, page 4-34, or Chapter 6, page
6-68).
AC Line Power The ML2430A Series Power Meter can operate on AC
input power of 85-264V, 50-440 Hz, 40 VA maximum.
The Power Meter automatically configures itself for the
voltage applied. The AC line input is protected by an
internal fuse.
DC Power The ML2430A Series Power Meter can also operate
from a nominal external 12-24 VDC input in the ab-
sence of AC line power. DC line power is protected by
ML2430A OM 2-1
