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.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must at all times observe normal
safety regulations. Do not replace components or make
adjustments inside the equipment with high voltage
turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line
while RF power is present. Radiated RF power is a
potential health hazard.
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.
Chemical Hazard
Dry cleaning solvents for cleaning parts may be
potentially dangerous. Avoid inhalation of fumes or
prolonged contact with skin.

ii
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible 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.
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should
be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.
Safety Symbols
The caution symbol appears on the
equipment indicating there is important
information in the instruction manual
regarding that particular area.
NOTE: Calls attention to supplemental
information
WARNING
Warning notes call attention to a procedure which,
if not correctly performed, could result in
personal injury.
CAUTION
Caution notes call attention to a procedure which,
if not correctly performed, could result in damage to
the instrument.
iii
Warning Statements
The following safety warnings appear in the text
where there is danger to operating and maintenance
personnel, and are repeated here for emphasis.
Caution Statements
The following equipment cautions appear in the text
whenever the equipment is in danger of damage, and
are repeated here for emphasis.
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.
WARNING
Disconnect from external power before any
disassembly. The potential for electric shock exists.
CAUTION
When connecting the TPS, only turn the connector
nut. Damage may occur if torque is applied to the
sensor body.
CAUTION
Ground all instruments before connecting the TPS.
Electric shock could damage the sensor.
CAUTION
Use a Bird adapter only and do not use the adapter
with the batteries removed.

About This Manual
This instruction manual guides users through the
operation and maintenance of the Bird 5000 Digital
Power Meter (DPM), as well as the Bird 5010
Directional Power Sensor (DPS) and Bird 5011 and
5011-EF Terminating Power Sensors (TPS).
Typography
There are two types of keys on the DPM. A hard key
has a specific function which is indicated on the key.
The key names for hard keys are set in bold typeface,
e.g. Press the ON key.
Speed keys, which appear under the display, have a
different label depending upon the function selected.
The names appear at the bottom of the display,
directly above the corresponding key. The key names
for speed keys are set in bold italic typeface, e.g. Press
the SCALE Key. In this manual, speed keys will also
be referred to by number, with speed key 1 being the
key on the left. Figure 2 on page 2 shows these speed
key numbers.
Chapter Layout
Introduction — Identifies the parts of the DPM,
describes the functions of the various keys, and
explains the meaning of the indicators which may be
displayed. Also lists the items supplied and optional
equipment available.
Installation — Gives directions for connecting the
DPM, and discusses the various power sources.
