28.With the Setup Selection Menu shown on the terminal, type 1 (for item #1 - Return To Operation Select Menu) and press the Enter key.

29.The Operation Select Menu should then be shown on the terminal. Type 1 (for item #1 - Disconnect) and press the Enter key.

POWER SENSOR CALIBRATION

The power sensor provides a DC voltage output representing the power through it. This calibration method uses an in-line wattmeter to read the power going through the power sensor, a DC voltmeter to measure the DC voltage out of the power sensor, and a conversion table to simulate the PMU’s calculation of power from this DC voltage. This DC voltage is then adjusted (using the 20-turn potentiometer mounted in the power sensor) until the power read from the conversion table agrees with the power read on the power meter.

Unidirectional Power Sensors

Use the following procedure to calibrate the unidirectional power sensors used at the output of each transmitter. Start with the transmitter for channel #1. The location of the calibration screw is shown in Figure 20.

1.Turn off the 12V station power supply for the transmitter.

2.Disconnect the coax (from the power sensor to the combiner) at the power sensor end, and insert an in-line wattmeter (make sure the wattmeter is rated high enough to handle the power from the transmitter).

3.Disconnect the power sensor cable from the phono connector on the power sensor, and attach the DC voltmeter in its place (center pin is positive). (An alternate method is to disconnect the power sensor cable at the PMU - see interconnection diagram at end of manual - and attach the DC voltmeter to the end of the cable.)

4.Turn on the 12V station power supply for the transmitter.

5.Manually key the transmitter using the switch marked “REM KEY”, or press and hold the PTT switch on a hand-held microphone plugged into the transmitter.

6.Measure the DC voltage on the meter, look up this voltage in Table 6 (V in volts) to get the corresponding
