Microwave Oven Survey Meter

HI-1710A

The RS232 interface allows easy adapting of the unit to computerized data acquisition in laboratory studies and semi-automatic production test systems. Digital Peak-Hold and Push Button Zeroing aid in improving testing productivity and reducing errors. Digital filters, selected from the front panel, provide the “Fast” or “Slow” responses familiar to analog survey instrument users. Built in self-test sequences test meter performance at turn-on and each time the meter is zeroed. Diagnostic functions accessed from the front panel give quick indications of meter status.

On power-up, the HI-1710A is automatically configured for normal production testing, relieving the operator of a complicated setup operation. Simply activating the Peak-Hold feature from the front panel and adding a serial printer results in a formatted RF leakage report each time the ZERO key is pressed. With the Remote Zero Option, testing and reporting are accomplished without reaching to touch the instrument or setting down the probe for even greater operator efficiency. The Remote Zero Chamber provides a location shielded from stray RF fields by simply inserting the probe. An optional alarm output contact transfer provides remote signaling capability (24 VAC, 1A). The separable probe/pre-amp assembly (HI-2623) means that daily ellipticity checks and periodic calibration checks can be made without removing the instrument from service. Spare probes, available from Holaday, can be pre-checked for immediate exchange with no meter down time. Auto-ranging and the bar graph display make it quicker and easier for the operator to accurately perform oven leakage testing.

The HI-1710A is ideally suited for engineering studies with a 0-1Vdc analog output for chart recorders and plotters. The remote control and reading features allows use in many automated data acquisition configurations.
