We recondition, calibrate, and sell Hewlett-Packard Power Meters and sensors (E4419B, E4418B, 437B and 438A models) as well as other test and measurement equipment. If you need further information please message me. Also, my contact information may be found at EBAY's "about me" page.
This sale contains a NEW, never used, 8481D Power Sensor and NEW 30 dB Reference Attenuator with original documents and shipping container. The 8481D is new, old stock. We have three of these new sensors in our inventory. These are shipped with the original documentation and shipping container.
This refurbished Hewlett-Packard 438A Power Meter is in excellent condition electronically and physically. It meets or exceeds factory specifications. The 438A has been refurbished and
calibrated using the procedure as prescribed in the HP/Agilent service manual. The equipment used for calibration is the 11683A Range Calibrator and other instrumentation as specified in the 438A's calibration procedure. All instrumentation used to calibrate the 438A and 8481D is currently within calibration and is NIST traceable.
The photos in this listing may not be the instrument you will be receiving. We have many power meters and sensors in our inventory and the unit you receive will be as good or better than the one shown the photos.
The 438A Power Meter comes without the front bails.
The 11683A Range Calibrator is for demonstration purposes only and is not part of this sale.
Included in this listing is a NEW injection molded case for the sensor and cable.
All equipment comes refurbished and calibrated with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 30 day return policy. The "Certificate of Calibration," "Performance Test Record," and "Adjustments and Calibration" documents will be included with the power meter system. The 438A's and 8481D's "Certificate of Calibration"
will be issued prior to shipping and a current calibration sticker will be attached at that time.

Reconditioning a HP 438A Power Meter:
The 438A Power Meter is completely disassembled and cleaned at a grounded, anti-static, work station. All accumulated dust, dirt, and grime is removed. The printed circuit boards are removed and the edge connectors are cleaned using lab grade denatured alcohol. The original fan noise is typically a little noisy even with a new fan. If the fan is excessively noisy it is replaced with a new, exact replacement, fan kit. The RAM backup battery is checked and replaced if necessary. The front panel display, and push button assembly is completely disassembled and serviced. The front panel is cleaned, stickers removed and polished to a like-new H-P luster. Likewise, the display lens is polished, if needed, and looks new when finished. The push button switches are cleaned, lubricated, and checked for performance. Any bad push buttons are replaced. The push buttons feel like new after servicing. Overall, the front panel will look as perfect as it can with very minor blemishes, if any at all. The outside of the instrument is thoroughly cleaned, and old stickers are removed. Missing or damaged housing trim pieces are replaced.
After reassembly, the Hewlett-Packard 438A Power Meter is calibrated per the H-P service manual. The three power supplies (+/- 15 VDC and 5 VDC) are checked for proper level and excessive ripple and noise, and are adjusted to spec., A/D slope adjustment, 220 Hz freq adj., range 4 and 5 shaper, power ref frequency and level adjustments are made. The instrument is then checked with a certified and calibrated, Agilent, 11683A Range Calibrator.  Lastly, new dust caps are provided on all connector housings to protect the connectors.
Description/Features:
The
Keysight 438A power meter
is a dual-channel power meter designed specifically for ATE systems. The compact front panel saves critical rack space, while the dual-channel design allows simple and accurate measurements of the ratio and difference of power levels from two separate sensors.
The
Keysight Agilent HP 8481D Power Sensor
, is designed for use with the 43x power meters, and provides extraordinary accuracy and stability. The H-P 8481D, Power Sensor, gives you extremely low SWR, and is traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A calibration port is included with the above power meters for calibration with the power sensor. This calibration provides traceability to NIST, and it eliminates the uncertainties due to temperature changes and the variance in making measurements with different meter/sensor combinations.
The 8481D has the following operating parameters:
10 MHz to 18 GHz operational frequency range
-70 to -20 dBm power measuring range
50 ohms
Diode sensing element
Excellent return loss (low SWR)
