
Connect the DPM port on the Bird TPS to the “Sensor” serial port on
the DPM using the sensor cable provided.

Connect the DPM port on the Bird TPS to the “Sensor” USB port on the
DPM using the sensor cable provided.
Note: An attenuator or directional coupler should be used with the
TPS in most applications.
Example - For an RF source with output between 0.1 and
50 W, use a 40 dB, 50 W attenuator.
2. Connect the TPS RF input to the source (using an attenuator, if appropriate).
Note: Only connect the TPS directly to a source if the RF power will
be less than 10 mW.

Upgrading the Firmware
Note: Before performing this procedure, sign on to the internet and
go to:
www.bird-technologies.com/products/software/5000-xt/
1. Power on the 5000-XT
2. Connect the USB from the 5000-XT to the PC and wait for the drive to appear.
Note: This could take 30 seconds
3. Create a folder named “FIRMWARE”.
Note: The folder name is case sensitive. If there is already a folder,
use the existing folder, but delete any firmware versions already in
that folder.
4. Place the updated firmware file into the folder.
Note: This file can be named anything as long as the file extension is
.bin.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 2 W average or 125 W peak power for 5 μs when using the TPS
or the TPS-EF. Doing so will render the sensor inoperative.
