How closely you want to define the location of the source: Choose

the probe that gets as close to the signal source as required. Select a

large probe and begin outside a unit, then move closer to the source

and switch to smaller probes to identify the location of the source.

For example, the smallest probes should allow you to determine

exactly which circuit on a printed circuit board is radiating. This kind of

refinement provides the ability to stop the radiation at the source rather

than shielding an entire unit.

Preamplifier Use

The optional preamplifier increases the sensitivity of your test system. The

preamplifier is connected to the input of the signal analyzing device, and the

coaxial cable from the probe is connected to the preamplifier. A switch on the

preamplifier activates power to the unit; when power is activated, a panel light

illuminates.

The preamplifier is powered by a wall-mounted DC power supply. Both 115 VAC

and 230 VAC models are available. The preamplifier includes a standard

DC power connector.
