~ Most Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Antenna is used as a reference for all leakage measurements?
A. The Dipole
2. If I take measurements using a Monopole or vehicle mount antenna without
referencing a Dipole will the readings be accurate?
A. NO the dipole is the absolute reference.
3. Can I compensate other antennas to read closer to a dipole Antenna?
A. Yes, you can by using the Acterna dipole antenna HD-1.
4. What kind of a Calibrated Leak should be used?
A. You should create a 20 uv/m leak at 10ft and 10ft above ground as a
Reference using a Dipole Antenna.
5. Should the Dipole Antenna be compensated for 20 uv/m?
A. NO because it should be an absolute reference.
6. How do you adjust the alarm volume on the CLI-1450/HWTK-1750?
A. You can raise and lower the alarm by pressing the left and right arrow keys.
You can mute the alarm by pressing the enter key.
7. What is the charger voltage needed to charge my CLI-1450/HWTK-1750?
A. 12Vdc at 800ma.
8. What should the tag frequency be set to?
A. 20-23 HZ works the best.
9. Which antenna is most accurate?
A. The most accurate and repeatable measurements are made using a dipole
antenna located at the required reference distance.
