INITIAL

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the container or cushioning

 

INSPECTION

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

The sensors are enclosed in a polycarbonate case to help prevent dam-

 

HANDLING

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

The ML2430A Series Power Meter can be operated from either AC line

 

REQUIREMENTS

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
