3128A, 450 kHz - 2.7 GHz

Single Carrier RF Monitor and Alarm System

The 3128A Wattcher RF Power Monitor/Alarm is designed to protect and monitor your RF frequency transmission system by connecting the power meter to a Bird dual port Thruline® line section and two elements compatible with the RF coaxial line. (See accessories below)

The elements are selected by the user to cover the desired power levels and frequency ranges. Remote access is available for resetting audible and visual alarms. Fail-safe or non-fail-safe modes are user selectable, and the reflected power trip level is adjustable.
