CURRENT PROBES
BCP-610 LF Current Probe 20 Hz - 20 MHz
BCP-611 HF/VHF Current Probe 10 kHz - 150 MHz
The current probes come ready for use.
Operation:
The two current probes measure conducted emissions when clamped
around a single conductor, cable or a bundle of conductors. Disconnect the probe
latch Position the probe around the conductor and close the probe. Reconnect the
probe latch to ensure that the probe is tightly closed. Connect the probe connector
to the receiver with a cable. The probe calibrations supplied are into a 50-ohm
receiver.
TRIPOD AND MOUNTING ADPTERS
ATU-510 Tripod
AEH-510 Azimuth and Elevation Head
The azimuth and elevation head (AEH-510) mounts to the tripod (ATU-510) top
and allows the antennas to be rotated 360 degrees and tilted between horizontal
and vertical polarization. The tripod and azimuth and elevation head come in their
own carrying case. Each tripod leg is independently adjustable in angle and length
to facilitate antenna height setting. The tripod legs have a rubber tip on one end for
indoor or hard surface use, and a metal spike on the other end for outdoor soft
surface (such as dirt) use.
TRANSIT STORAGE CASES
TCC-510 Tripod Carrying Case
TSC-542 Transit Storage Case
The antenna carrying case (TSC-542) prevents damage and loss of antennas
when storing or transporting the antenna kit. The case is constructed of lightweight
and durable polyethylene. Two case keys are provided with the case.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
The AK-40G case comes with three additional cutouts for optional preamplifiers.
In order to improve overall system sensitivity, the following equipment will be
required:
•
PAM-0118 with an SAC-18G-0.5
•
PAM-1840 with an SAC-40G-0.5
PAM-0118P Preamplifier 20 MHz
– 18 GHz
The preamplifier will increase the system sensitivity 37 dB and is recommend for
the SAS-510-2, SAS-530,542 and SAS-571. An optional short length cable (SAC-
18G-0.5), is required to connect the preamplifier to any 50-ohm receiver or
spectrum analyzer.
