Note

It is important to understand that each shaped frequency response probe model is designed

to conform to a particular standard.

The readout on the 8718B is shown in terms of Percent of Standard. The full scale of Narda’s shaped probes is typically either 300% or 600% of a standard. This permits measurements of exposure environments where the weighted field strengths range from as high as three to six times the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level to environments where the levels are less than one percent of the MPE.

Connecting a Probe

Connect a cable with a quick-release, eight-pin connector to the connector at the top of your Model 8718B. This cable will be either (1) a short adapter cable for attachment to older style 8700 series probes with integral cables or (2) a 4 ft. (1.2m) long cable with a quick-release connector on both ends for use with the 8700 "D" series probes. The D series probes have a quick-release, eight-pin connector that allows the probe to attach directly to your 8718B or be used with a cable
