An RF power sensor can be connected to the Product EXT PORT to make RF
power measurements.
Instructions to connect a power sensor to the Product and to a DUT are given
below. Do not make connections before you read all of the Cautions contained in
these instructions.
WCaution
To prevent equipment damage, follow the instructions below
before you connect the power sensor to the Product or a Device
Under Test (DUT).
WCaution
The optional power sensor(s) contain components which can
be destroyed by electrostatic discharges. To prevent this, never
touch the sensor RF connector inner conductor and never open
the sensor. Never exceed the sensor maximum RF power limit.
Even brief overloads can destroy the sensor.

The Product front-panel Power Sensor connector interface is
only for use with compatible power sensors. To prevent
damage to the Product, no other connection is permitted.
Fluke Calibration supplies a NRP type sensor as an option.
