Model415E

SWR

Meter

is

a

high-gainampli-

fier,

tuned

to

an

audio

frequency,

with

a

square-law

calibrated

meter

readout.

The

Model

415E

is

designed

for

use

with

square-law

detectors

inthe

measurement

of

SWR

and

attenuation.

In

addition,

because

of

the

high-sensitivity

and

tuned

amplifier,

it

can

be

used

as

a

null

detector

for

audiofrequency

bridges.

The

Model

415E

is

shown

in

Figure

1-1.

Operating

Specifications

for

the

Model

415E

are

given

in

Table

1-1.

1-3.

The

Model

415E

is

a

tuned

audio

amplifier

de-

signed

to

operate

at

a

mean

center

frequency

of

1000

cps

(Hz),

adjustable

7%

with

a

variable

bandwidth

of

from

15

to

130

cps

(Hz).

Operating

center

frequency

andband-

width

are

both

variable

at

instrument

front

panel.

Tuned

amplifier

gain

is

only

slightly

changed

due

to

any

change

inbandwidth

andis

typically

less

than0.5

db.

In

addition

to

the

front

panel

meter

readout

provided

by

the

SWR

Meter,

two

rear

panel

outputs

are

also

available:

An

AC

amplifier

outputis

provided

to

allow

using

the

415E

as

a

high-gain(126

db)

tuned

amplifier;

a

DC

recorder

output

providing

a

convenient

means

of

obtaining

a

permanent

record

of

measurement

data.

Either

or

both

of

these

rear

panel

outputs

can

be

used

without

affecting

instrument

meter

operation

provided

power

line

ground

is

not

connected

to

INCOMING

INSPECTION.

2-2,

This

instrument

was

inspected

both

mechanically

and

electrically

before

shipment.

To

confirmthis,

the

instrument

should

be

inspected

for

physical

damage

in

transit.

Also

check

for

suppliedaccessories,

and

test

the

electrical

performance

of

the

instrument,

using

the

procedure

outlined

in

Paragraph

5-3.

If

there

is

damage

or

deficiency,

see

the

warranty

on

the

inside

front

cover

of

this

manual.

2-3.

INSTALLATION.

2-4.

The

Model

415E

is

fully

transistorized;

therefore

no

special

cooling

is

required.

However,

the

instru-

ment

should

not

be

operated

where

the

ambient

tem-

perature

exceeds

55°C

(140°F).

MOUNTING.

2-6.

The

Model

415E

is

a

submodular

unit

that

when

used

alone

canbe

bench

mounted

only.

However,

when

used

in

combination

with

other

submodular

units

it

can

be

benchand/or

rack

mounted.

The

hp

combining

case

and

adapter

frame

are

designed

specifically

for

this

purpose.

2-7.

COMBINING

CASE.

The

combining

case

is

a

full-module

unit

which

accepts

varying

combinations

of

submodular

units.

Being

a

full-module

unit,

it

can

be

bench

ог

mounted

analogous

to

any

full-module

instrument.

An

To

protect

operating

personnel,

the

National

Electrical

Manufacturers’

Association

(NEMA)

rec-

ommends

that

the

equipped

with

a

three-conductor

receptacle,

grounds

the

The

offest

pin

on

the

is

the

wire.

2-11.

To

preserve

the

source

canbe

either

115

or

230

volts,

50

from

AC

primary

power,

the

in-

strument

can

be

2-20.

When

returning

an

instrument

to

the

Hewlett-

Packard

Company,

use

the

original

packing

material

(if

foam

type)

if

available

or

contact

an

authorized

hp

Sales

Office

for

assistance.

If

this

is

not

possible,

first

protect

the

instrument

surfaces

by

wrapping

in

heavy

Kraft

paper

or

with

sheets

of

cardboard

flat

against

the

instrument.

Then

protect

the

sides

(use

approximately

4

inches

of

packing

material

designed

specifically

for

package

cushioning),

pack

in

а

durable

container,

mark

container

clearly

for

proper

handling,

and

insure

adequately

before

shipping.

Note

When

an

BATTERY

OPERATION.

3-7.

The

Model

415E

may

be

operated

froma

battery

instead

of

the

115

or

230

volt

AC

supply

(see

Paragraph

2-13).

Battery

operation

requires

some

slightly

dif-

ferent

procedures

to

prolong

battery

life

and

to

ensure

proper

results.

The

rechargeable

nickel

is

factory

installed

INITIAL

BATTERY

USE.

When

the

Model

415E

is

to

be

battery

operated

for

the

first

time,

perform

the

following

steps:

a.

Switch

the

Model

415E

POWER

switch

to

BAT-

TERY/TEST

position

and

note

meter

pointer

indication:

A

meter

pointer

indication

in

the

"BAT.

CHARGED”

area

indicates

the

internally

battery

properly

charged

and

ready

for

use;

A

meter

pointer

indication

to

the

left

of

the

"BAT.

CHARGED"

area

means

that

the

battery

must

be

charged

as

described

below.

b.

Connect

the

Model

415E

to

AC

power

source.

Set

POWER

switch

to

BATTERY/CHARGE

and

charge

the

battery

for

a

minimum

of

16

hours

or

overnight.

с.

After

at

least

16

hours

of

recharge

time,

switch

POWER

switch

to

BATTERY/TEST

position

and

check

battery

charge.

If

the

battery

charge

indication

is

still

unsatisfactory,

see

Paragraph

5-35.

02152-4

3-9.

OPTIMUM

BATTERY

USAGE.

Itis

recommended

that

the

Model

415E

be

operated

by

the

battery

for

up

to

8

hours,

followed

by

16

hours

of

recharge.

If

con-

tinuous

battery

operation

is

required

for

more

than

8

hours,

the

recharge

time

should

be

double

the

oper-

ating

time.

Continuous

battery

operation

is

possible

for

up

to

36

hours

but

this

must

be

followed

by

a

pro-

longed

recharge

period.

3-10.

BATTERY

STORAGE.

Storage

of

the

battery

at

or

below

roomtemperature

is

best.

Extended

storage

at

high

temperatures

will

reduce

the

cell

charge

but

not

damage

the

battery

if

the

storage

temperature

is

less

than

140°F.

It

is

suggested

that

the

battery

be

charged

after

removal

from

storage

and

before

using

the

Model

415E

for

battery

operation.

3-11.

GROUNDLOOP

CURRENTS.

3-12.

The

415E

SWR

Meter

audio

amplifier

has

high

sensitivity

tolow

level

signals.

To

reduce

groundloop

currents,

the

415E

grounds

are

isolated

by

а

46.4

ohm

resistor.

Ground

loops

occur

when

instruments

are

-connected

to

415E

outputs

and

grounded

through

power

cords

or

rack

mountings.

Ground

loops

can

be

min-

imized

in

the

following

ways:

а.

Connect

the

415E

to

instruments

with

floating

inputs;

b.

Connect

the

415E

to

instruments

with

high

input

impedance;

Connect

only

the

signal

wire

between

in-

strument

and

the

415E;

с.

Operation

at

higher

signal

levels;

d.

An

Adapter

on

the

power

cord

іо

float

the

instru-

ment

ground

where

not

prohibited

by

safety

regulations.

BANDWIDTH

AND

FREQUENCY

SELECTION.

3-14.

Twofront

paneladjustments

are

provided

to

op-

timize

operation

of

the

Model

415E

tuned

amplifier.

The

FREQ

(frequency)

control

allows

a

total

variation

of

7%

ої

the

center

tuned

frequency.

When

more

than

one

Model

415E

is

included

in

the

same

measurement

setup,

the

variable

tuned

frequency

is

used

to

set

all

the

instruments

tothe

exact

frequency

modulating

the

source.

Тһе

high

sensitivity

and

narrow

bandwidth

of

the

amplifier

make

the

Model

415E

valuable

as

а

meter-indicating

null

detector

for

audio

frequency

bridges.

The

BANDWIDTH

adjustment

varies

the

tuned

filter

bandwidth

from

15

to

130

cps.

A

narrow

band-

width

is

best

for

iow

level

signals

as

this

improves

the

signal

to

noise

ratio.

А

wide

bandwidth

would

find

more

use

in

fast

sweep

rate

measurements.
