2Understanding Your Model 8718
General Description
It is important to be familiar with the Model 8718 before you
use it. This section includes descriptive data keyed to
highlighted illustrations to help you locate the various features
of the meter. The descriptions not only identify the features but
tell you how they are used.
Battery Charger and Power Cord
The battery charger and power cord are used to recharge the
battery within the Model 8718.
To recharge the meter, first connect the cable of
the battery charger to the larger jack on the left
side of the meter. Make sure the plug is fully
inserted into the jack (there are two "stops").
Connect the power cord to the wall outlet.
The battery will be fully charged in about 8 hours.
A full charge will give you about 40 hours of
operation (approximately 8 hours if back lighting
is used).
The charger can also be used to power the
Model 8718 when it is to be operated for periods
beyond the capacity of the battery.
6
Probe Connection
To make measurements, use your Model 8718 with
a probe. Connect the cable of the probe to the
probe connector located at the top of the unit.
If you use a fiber optic link, the probe connects to a
fiber optic transmitter. A fiber optic cable connects
the transmitter to the rectangular fiber optic jack on
the left side of the meter.
Audio Alarm
Your Model 8718 is equipped with an audible alarm
that emits sound through a tiny hole on the bottom
of the meter. The alarm sounds whenever the field
strength exceeds the measurement range of the
probe (over ranges).
You can also set the meter to sound its alarm at a
specific level and/or turn on a variable-tone mode.
Probe Test Sources
Your Model 8718 is equipped with two RF sources
for testing your probes. The Test Source key will
turn these sources on. They will stay on for
approximately 20 seconds.
A microwave (waveguide) window on the right side
of the probe is used for testing high frequency
probes.
A contact on the right side of the meter is used for
testing low frequency probes. These probes have
three test points on the head of the probe.
7
Strap and Tripod Mount
A strap is provided on the underside of the Model
8718. It has a hook and loop closure to permit easy
adjustment, around your hand.
Behind the strap is a threaded connector used to
secure the meter to a tripod. Loosen the strap to
access this connector.
Operation With a Computer
To update probe calibration information or retrieve
stored measurements, you must connect your
Model 8718 to a personal computer and use the
Interface Software provided by Narda.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for
detailed information regarding computer operations.
Operation With a Recorder
To obtain a continuous record of measurement
over an extended period of time, you can connect a
data recorder to the smaller jack located on the left
side of the meter.

the probe’s entire measurement range. See Bar
Graph Ranges on page 21.
Enter Stores data you entered with the numeric
keypad. Confirms an option you selected from
