When measuring high powers, strictly observe the following instructions to prevent damage to the
sensor or hazard to persons:
CAUTION
Danger of skin burns or damage to the instrument
• Never exceed the permissible continuous power.
• See diagram on the rear of the sensor for the permissible continuous
power.
• Turn off the RF power to connect the sensor.

Operating sequence:
Press the MODE key.
Press the POWER METER softkey.
The power meter submenu opens.
The R&S FSH opens the screen for power measurements. If no power sensor is connected, it does not
display any measured value and outputs POWER SENSOR (UNKNOWN) in the status field. If a
power sensor is connected, the R&S FSH sets up a connection via its interface, displays first the
message POWER SENSOR (DETECTING) and then the message POWER SENSOR (BOOTING) in
the status field and, after a few seconds, displays the type of the sensor connected (R&S FSH-Z44) as
well as the measured power.
