4043E

A new and cost-effective approach to antenna and power monitoring for smaller radio communications systems, and paging networks. Designed for smaller sites where the Bird 3141 Channel Power Monitor would be under-utilized, and connecting directly to the Internet or private IP network, they can be accessed remotely for both set-up and monitoring. Bird’s new Power Sensor Monitors provide reliable remote site monitoring to maximize uptime of mission critical communications. The 4043E power sensors are typically used to measure forward and reflected average power on a 50 ohm RF transmission line with a maximum 500 watt forward and maximum 50 watt reflected power levels in a frequency band with an overall range of 118 to 940 MHz.. This provides an early warning of increased losses in the transmission line resulting from water ingress, damage or deterioration. Installed post-combiner, the 4043E can generate alarms according to pre-configured parameters for forward power and minimum/maximum VSWR, then communicated to users with SNMP traps. The 4043E provides composite, in-band power monitoring and is designed to transfer data over an Ethernet connection.
