Versatile display is suitable for your measurement
needs
In the installation and maintenance environment, it
is important to be able to see the power meter’s
display from a distance and in a variety of lighting
conditions. The EPM series power meter has been
designed to meet this need. Contrast adjustment
lets you set the brightness of the display.
With the internal battery Option E441xB-001

installed, the LED backlight can be switched
off to conserve battery charge levels. The back-
light “timed” mode switches the backlight off
after 10 minutes of inactivity, again, to maxi-
mize battery operation.
The display’s wide viewing angle lets you read
the large characters and digits, or the analog
peaking meter, from a distance. You can dis-
play both the digital and analog types of read-
out using the meter’s split screen facility.
The analog peaking meter helps you make
accurate adjustments. User-defined upper
and lower scale limits, either in dBm or Watts,
allow you to control the sensitivity of the
displayed adjustment.
The E-series and 8480 series sensors can oper-
ate with long sensor cables. Cable lengths up
to 61 meters (200 feet) can be used in conjunc-
tion with the 8480 series sensors. So, when you
are inside a radio station or up a radio mast,
those awkward transmitter and receiver adjust-
ments are made easy using long sensor cables.

Available for an extra cost.
The battery option and operating
case bring Agilent’s power accuracy
and ease-of-use to field applications.
In subdued lighting conditions, you
can easily read the high resolution
display.
In this setup, the top half of the split display
shows the analog peaking meter while the bot-
tom display shows the same measurement with
a larger character size.
