3200 Series USER’S MANUAL
Protek 3200 Series Ni-MH battery is rechargeable. Battery is recharged bases on the battery
temperature. Charging is controlled from the power of the battery cell and the temperature of
the battery. Ni-MH Rechargeable battery is going to increase temp slowly until the temperature
is extremely higher. Battery charging is finished automatically by checking the degree of the
temperature (dT/dt). For battery protection, when the power of Battery cell is increased,
comparing regular temperature and/or exterior temperature degree of when the temperature
increases over 50 degrees, battery charging will be finished automatically.
Operating personnel must use Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery and do not operate in an
explosive atmosphere.
-The battery usage time can change due to the using term, environment and temperature.
-When battery consumption is large battery-running time will decrease.
Operating personnel should phase in a new battery when battery-running time is less than
half (Warrant period is 6 month, after instrument use has begun.)
-Operating personnel should not use this instrument and/or keep the battery in place for
long periods of time, which could result in discharge of the battery.
- To avoid damages to battery, when battery is low, this instrument will turn off
automatically .

Overview
The Protek 3200 Series is handheld RF Field Strength Analyzer and it is
optimized to analyze a signal for the radio frequency equipment that is
increased for the use of frequency, gradually high-speeded, and
digitalized. The Protek 3200 Series has adopted synthesizer method and
has a wideband reception range of 100 kHz to 2,900 MHz. The
characteristic of frequency response of the Protek 3200 Series is
calculated by memorized calculation data, and so it enables the Protek
3200 Series to measure accurate level and make easy analysis for wide
range of frequency band.
The Protek 3200 Series provides various functions and user-friendly
interface which makes it easy for the user to check the location of the
antenna with simple handling. The Spectrum Analyzer is ideal for user to
test, install and maintain Mobile Telecommunications Systems, Cellular
and Cordless Phone, CB Paging, Paging Systems, Cable and Satellite
TV Systems as well as antenna site measurements and maintenance.
The Protek 3200 Series supports RS 232C serial communication and has
separate GUI software. So, user can control the Protek 3200 Series
easily after connecting the Protek 3200 Series with his personal computer,
and can utilize the analyzed data variously after converting or saving
numerical value or graph.

The Protek 3200 Series can be quickly recharged using a Ni-
MH Rechargeable Battery. The Recharged method of Ni-MH
Battery is controlled by the voltage of Battery Cell and the
temperature of Battery. The external temperature of Ni-MH
Rechargeable Battery is gradually increased and then quickly
increased in some point of time. The Protek 3200 Series closes
charging quickly after checking the increased amount (dT/dt) of
external temperature of Battery for a unit time. Also, for Battery
protection, the recharging is compulsory closed by built-in
temperature sensor in case that the voltage of Battery Cell will
be increased to more than some specified level or the external
temperature of Battery will be going up to over 50 . For safe℃
usage, it is strongly recommended to use Ni-MH Rechargeable
battery, and please do not use in the place with high temperature
or high humidity during recharging.
