•In case of devices permanently connected to the power supply, and lackin
g
any fuses or other devices of mains protection, the power line must be
equipped with adequate protection commensurate to the consumption of all
the devices connected to it;
•In case of connection of the device to the power mains, make sure before
connection that the volta
g
e selected on the volta
g
e switch and the fuses are
adequate for the voltage of the actual mains;
•Devices in Safety Class I, equipped with connection to the power mains by
means of cord and plu
g
, can only be plu
gg
ed into a socket equipped with a
ground wire;
•Any interruption or loosenin
g
of the

Introduction
This Manual includes:
•Questionnaire to send back to
g
ether with the instrument
to service.
•Check list of supplied accessories.
The PMM 6630 is a simple and easy to use RF power
measuring instrument.
It is very suitable in EMC applications to calibrate CDNs
and CLAMPs for conducted and induced immunity tests,
and to measure the power of RF signals forwarded to
antennas or GTEMs cells.
Forward and reflected powers can be measured by usin
g
a
directional coupler.
The internal compensation prevents temperature driftin
g
effects.
The instrument is supplied to
g
ether with drivers for any
WindowsTM environments. Just execute WindowsTM software
and
g
et your readin
g
(dBm, W and Vrms) into the PC
monitoring window.
If you are usin
g
PMM immunity software (conducted or
radiated) all drivers are already embedded and ready to
use.

PMM 6630 User’s Manual 11
The PMM 6630 also can work with the optional accessory
PMM 6630FOA that allows to convert the USB si
g
nal of the
power sensor into fiber optic compatible signal. It is often
beneficial to use noise immune fibre optic cable instead of
USB cable in environments where is requested a low noise
level or simply to extend the link; moreover, the optic link
is immune to interferences caused by high field level.
The PMM 6630FOA is linked to the USB port of any
Personal Computer through the USB-OC Optical USB
Converter supplied with the unit.

Installation
and use
PMM 6630 is supplied through USB port PC. The RF Input
connector is located on the front; the Fisher connector (for
PC connection) and Leds on the rear.
Connect the PMM 6630 to the PC only once the
software Win6630 supplied in the CD-ROM has been
successfully installed.
Do not connect the Data-Supply cable by applyin
g
force to the cable directly: this may dama
g
e the
connection. Always hold firmly the connectors with
your fingers to connect the cable.
Presence of dust, dirt or particles of any nature on
the 4 poles connector surfaces must be carefully
prevented.
To avoid damage, the arrow marked on the external
part of the Data-Supply connector must match to the
PMM 6630 connector.
Once Win6630 has been successfully installed (see Chapter
3), connect the Data-Supply cable (supplied) to the PMM
6630 respecting the connection sense; make sure to
tighten the Fisher cable connector to the PMM 6630
connector.

PMM 6630 User’s Manual 19
Connect the other cable end to the USB port PC.
When the PMM 6630 is on, the Leds show the operating
mode (see chapter 1).
If the driver is not already installed a message informin
g
that new hardware has been found will appear and a
guided installation will be started:
