Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
HI Victor, From what I can see, the problem seems to be contamination on the contact surface.? The bad sections are darker than the good ones. I don't know if this is someone spilling their coffee on

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
HI Dave, Thank you.? I have another one of these to fix.? Where I have the most trouble is getting the front panel separated from the chassis.?? I have the same problem with the 34401A.??

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Update, armed with the schematics (which dont apply 100% to this model, but are close) I was able to trace out the whole power push button circuit. I can definitely say that the problem is that the

Re: [test-equip-trader] more TE purging
I'm interested in the 4284A/4285A LCR meter pair, but have a few questions. What options and fixtures are included? What was the test procedure? Does your asking price include shipping in CONUS? Will

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Yes, Dave, Please provide that info, it would be of great interest! Tom, I guess the fact that you were able to find a replacement panel means that you never found the actual cause of the switch

OK Tom, I'll work up a little word document today and post it with some photos. Dave W6TE

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Hi Dave, If there is an easy way to take the front panel apart I would like hear about it. I have found it to be a real pain. Please send me your instructions. Tom Bryan

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Victor, The front panel¡¯s on those meters are very easy to take apart and re-assemble. It only takes a few minutes. I do it almost every day as I work on these meters. If you need a step by step

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
and finally, thanks, Tom, for that link, which turns out to be the set of schematics I have been begging for!

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Tom, Thank you so much. You have confirmed what my own investigation led me to suspect. Long Story Short: I did take off the front panel (always fraught with ways that things can go wrong, I always

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Victor, I just went through the same thing with one of these. It looked like the Schmitt trigger should be working but it wasn't. The EPM series power meters do not use carbon button switches. It uses

Re: So far O.T. it's in another universe but...
I use a pump hairspray bottle and old toothbrush. Less risk of damage to 0.25 mm wide PCB traces which was where the flux was on the CD player. After it looks clean with a 7x Hastings triplet, I spray

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Peter, thank you. The battery seems to be fine, over three volts. And besides: I made some progress on this thing. Knowing that I was looking for a logic shift whenever the power button was pushed, I

Re: Testing a 2-01C Diode
Vacuum tube diodes have a space region between the cathode and anode, which limits the current that can flow until the voltage between the two is high enough. See the I-V characteristic curve at the

Re: [test-equip-trader] more TE purging
I think there are builders in ham radio still, but many build because they can't afford commercial gear. That also means very limited TE. There are items on that list I wish I could buy too. Paul

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Check the battery to make sure it is good.? If it is good, try removing the battery jumper and then try to turn it off.?? The membrane keyboard is a weak point of these power meters.? I found

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Too bad! I wonder if there is a hidden menu or only settable over GPIB. Seems more likely a fault of some sort though. I have one of these so if it gets to the point of internal measurements I can

Re: Need help with HP 441A Power Meter not turning off (or sometimes not turning on)
Peter, good idea! But no, I looked and don't see any mention of power on options in the configuration menus. That is how it acts, though, and these were used in an untended system rack type of
