Rugged and portable makes it ideal for field use
The optional rechargeable battery (option 001),
which provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous opera-
tion, means you can use the EPM series power
meters in a mains-free environment. The battery
charges in less than three hours, during which
time the meter can be used, and the charge level
indicators keep you informed of the battery sta-
tus at all times. The soft carry / operating case
(34141A) makes it easy to use the EPM series
power meter in installation and maintenance
environments. Front and rear-panel bumpers
protect the power meter from everyday knocks.
A bail handle makes it easy to carry. The EPM
series power meters are lightweight—weighing
approximately 4kg (9 lb).
The accessories available for the EPM series power meters
are ideal for installation and maintenance situations.
Designed for installation and
maintenance
Wide dynamic range allows high and low power
measurements with a single sensor
One E-series CW sensor covers the range -70 to +20
dBm, while the E9300 sensors operate from -60 to
+44 dBm (25W), depending on the sensor. This
wide dynamic range capability saves you time and
money as you can measure both high (transmitter
monitor points) and low (receiver) power levels
using a single sensor. Often using just one sensor
reduces the requirement for multiple sensor
reconnections and the associated mandatory
zero and calibration procedures.
Stored sensor calibration factors for best
accuracy and ease of use
Now you no longer have to key in the sensor
calibration factors to achieve optimum meas-
urement accuracy. The E-series sensor calibra-
tion factors (computed at our factory or
Agilent Technologies Service Center) are pro-
grammed into measurement points across the
frequency range of the sensor and stored in
EEPROM.
At power-on, or when the sensor is connected,
the calibration factors are automatically
downloaded into the EPM series power meter.
This eliminates measurement errors caused by
wrongly keyed-in calibration factor data.
Not all installation and maintenance environ-
ments are temperature controlled. Therefore, it
is important to have confidence in your power
measurements over a wide temperature range.
E-series sensors provide temperature correction
information. This ensures that the best power
measurement accuracy is maintained over the full
0 to 55˚C temperature range.
