3 Connecting Up and Starting to Use the Device
Narda SRM-3006 33
3.4.3 Using commercially-available cables and
antennas
Automatic recognition of the cable or antenna type that is connected is not
possible if third party products (commercially available cables and
antennas) are used instead of Narda components.
This means that when other cables are used the cable loss will not be taken
into account, and the results will not be shown in units of field strength or as
a percentage of the selected human safety standard limit value if other
antennas are used.
Note: The data for the connected cable and antennas must be entered in
the SRM-3006 manually using the PC software if third party products
are used (see description below).
Manually entering the data for third party components
The data must first be entered in the PC software, after which they can be
uploaded to the SRM-3006.
To enter the data:
1. Enter the data from the calibration report for the third party components
into the PC software (refer to the PC software online help for details).
2. Save the created configuration on the PC.
3. Upload the configuration data to the SRM-3006.
4. Select the cable and / or antenna on the SRM-3006.
3.4.4 Fitting a Narda antenna on a tripod
Special devices are needed for attaching the Narda antennas to a tripod.
Two types of antenna holder are available from Narda for this purpose.
Antenna holder for three axis antennas
This antenna holder can be attached to the tripod to allow vertical or
horizontal alignment of the antenna. Because the antenna is non-directional
(three axis) the alignment should not influence the result in any way.
Nevertheless, it is a good idea to align the antenna head roughly in the
(presumed) direction of the field source in order to minimize any side effects.
