Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to
any specific part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this
publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all
phases of operation and maintenance.
WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general
safety precautions. Do not replace components or make
adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the
high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always
remove power.
WARNING
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while
RF power is present.
WARNING
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an
enclosure for the purpose of service or adjustment of
equipment except in the presence of someone who is
capable of rendering aid.
WARNING
Safety Earth Ground
An uniterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied
from the main power source to test instruments.
Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable
is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can
occur if this grounding is not properly supplied.
WARNING
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be
familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Description
The Bird 5012D, 5016D, 5017D, 5017D-AV, 5018D, and 5019D Wideband Power
Sensors (WPS) are Thruline sensors that can measure average, peak, or burst
power, VSWR, crest factor, and Complementary Cumulative Distribution
Function (CCDF). They can be used with the Bird 5000-EX and 5000-XT Digital
Power Meters (DPM), Site Analyzer, SignalHawk, Bird Virtual Power Meter
(VPM) Software, and the Bird RF Meter Android App.
Note: Firmware upgrades extending the WPS’s capabilities may
be periodically released. For the latest firmware upgrade, contact
Bird Customer Service at (440) 248-1200 or visit our website at

WARNING
Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment
from the transmission line while RF power is being applied.
Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
Digital Power Meter (DPM)
To connect the WPS to the Digital Power Meter, use the serial cable provided.
Connect the male end of the cable to the DPM and the female end to the WPS.
A separate power supply for the WPS is not required when using a DPM.
Note: Connect the WPS to the RF line so that the arrow on the
sensor points towards the load.
