METROPWR FX773/5

The Metropwr FX773/5 is a digital Wattmeter with a comfortable touch screen interface and a 7

"color LCD display. It is managed entirely by 2 powerful microprocessors, of which the first 32bit,

16bit ADC which guarantee excellent performance and possibility of expansion through numerous

external accessories. The strong point of the FX773/5 is the expandability with the possibility to

interface the following accessories:

FX4 Antenna/Radio switch 1X4 posizioni

FX3 Coupler HF/50MHz 3kW/PeP

FX5 Coupler HF/50MHz 5kW/PeP

This feature makes it unique and guarantees excellent flexibility in use. It is designed for Amateur

Radio use and has functions for the most demanding om. FX773/5 is a complete tool and offers the

possibility of multiple measurement types all in a fast and precise way. Through the USB port it is

possible to update the firmware and increase its functions and internal menus. The tool offers the

following features:

Measure power AVG , PeP , AVG , autoranging

Measure parameters SWR,R,Z,X

Operating frequency / corresponding band measurement

Internal frequency counter

Internal analog / digital clock

Dual Antenna Switch management with 1X4 positions

Double sensor HF/50

Alarm diagnostic high SWR alarms

Interfacing to PC via USB port

FW User upgradeable

The instrument has a large 5/7 "color LCD display where all the information and measurements are

visible. Through convenient virtual touch keys it is possible to select naturally all the various

functions and operating modes. The touch screen is resistive so it needs a correct pressure for

operation and selection. The instrument also has a precise internal clock and a temperature and

humidity sensor that measures the internal parameters of the instrument. The sensor is located on

the back of the instrument at the ventilation holes. The connection diagram can be connected

simultaneously to two FX3 / 5 sensors.

ACCESSORY CONNECTION DIAGRAM

FX3/5 connection: basic connection for HF/50MHz band (use SMA cables).

Connection FX3: connection scheme to manage HF/50MHz. Through the SMA cables it is possible

to interface the Coupler FX3 / 5 and through the EXP bus the two other options can be connected

in series.

METROPWR FX773/5

FX4 ANTENNA SWITCH CONNECTION

Dual Antenna FX4 Switch Connection: You can interface up to two FX4 antenna switches to

switch 4 radios and 4 antennas simultaneously. Through the corresponding menu on the FX773/5

wattmeter it is possible to manage them simultaneously. The FX4s must be connected in series

through the IN / OUT port of the switches and the wattmeter side ends on the rear RJ45 port.

This port is not LAN for PC but proprietary, so do not connect any network HUB or SWITCH. The

cable to interface all the options is a simple cable for RJ45 pc. The maximum length from the

wattmeter to the last option can not exceed 5 meters and must be internally shielded, at least

class 6 or higher.

Attention: do not connect to the RJ45 port behind the Wattmeter FX773/5 network

devices such as hubs, switches, IP phones or LAN points.

A simple straight LAN cable can be used to connect FX4

accessories to the FX773/5 Wattmeter. The maximum

length is about 5 meters, and the scheme is the one on

the left.

METROPWR FX773/5

TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY AND INTERNAL MENU

The instrument is entirely manageable through a modern touch screen user interface. Turning the

instrument on from the side ON / OFF switch displays the main menu and all the information on: Antenna

switch position SW / A - SW / B, date, time, temperature, internal humidity% supply voltage, operating

sensor and through the LEDs the operational status of the instrument. For total shutdown, the side ON /

OFF switch can be positioned in the low OFF position. By tapping the lower right icon you can place the

instrument in standby. In this case FX773/5 will always be powered but the display will be turned off and

the instrument will be in low absorption. In the case of an operator, the instrument will return online and

the backlight will be reactivated. The intervention threshold can be set from the setup menu between 0.5

/ 0.8 / 1 / 1.5 watts. In the event of disturbances from the antenna or other nearby radios, it is advisable

to increase this threshold. It is also possible to select an automatic standby threshold between

1/10/30/60 minutes or deactivate it, it is advisable to keep it low or 60 minutes maximum. Also in this

case, a simple operator ptt puts the instrument online. From the main menu you can also detect the

currently active sensor CH1 / CH2 and if you have antenna switches connected to which position SWA -

SWB is switched. The instrument has inside a frequency meter that measures the frequency and

operating band, in SSB could indicate non-stable values, in this case transmit in FM / AM / CW to detect

the exact operating frequency. The internal menus are shown below.

MAIN MENU: this is the main menu to access all the

sub-menus.

MENU WATTMETER: where it is possible to visualize the

Power PeP (peak), AVG (average), all paraments SWR, R,

Z, X, operating frequency, band, power supply

temperature / humidity internal date now select the

sensor and antenna switch.

METROPWR FX773/5

MENU dBmeter: here are reported the power

measurements in dBm also in graphical format up to

1500 Watts. Possibility to select also CH1 / 2 operating

sensor.

MENU SWITCH: through this menu the FX7 antenna

switches are managed. If 2 switches are connected, two

rows of keys are displayed, one for switch A and the

other switch B. If only one FX7 is connected, only one

row of keys will be displayed. The green LED indicates

the currently selected switch. The settings are stored

and retained even after switching off.

If there is no FX7 antenna switch this menu will not show any virtual keys. Activate the

FX7 switches first from the SETUP menu. Attention, the FX4 antenna switch is not

compatible with the FX773/5 wattmeter.

MENU SMETER: as a Wattmeter menu but with an

analog virtual index. The virtual instrument is

autoranging with multiplication factor X. Example if the

index indicates 10 and the instrument indicates X100,

the measured power is 1000 Watts PeP.

METROPWR FX773/5

MENU FREQMTR: FX773/5 has a digital frequency inside

this menu and you can view the operating frequency

sampled by the sensor.

MENU CLOCK: The instrument has a chip dedicated to

the system clock and perpetual calendar. It is possible to

set the time through the SET submenu. It is also possible

to display the temperature and humidity in% of the

instrument and the other operating parameters. The

sensor is positioned on the back side in correspondence

with the ventilation holes.

MENU RL/SWR - dBm/PWR : contains conversion

tables.

MENU SETUP: Through this menu it is possible to set

the SWR alarm, time in seconds display PeP power,

Trigger watt minimum power for measurements, Sleep

Time time for standby, Switch opt number of connected

switches. And all the calibrations of frequency, power,

swr, on all the operating bands, in more power supply

and temperature.
