I recondition and sell Hewlett-Packard 438A Power Meters (as well as the E4418B, E4419B and 437B models).
If you need further information please message me.
Please note:  Some of the photos are stock photos and mat not be the equipment you will be receiving. When a substitute is made it will be as good or better than the photos.
This refurbished and calibrated Hewlett-Packard 438A Power Meter is in
excellent condition electronically and physically. It meets or exceeds factory specifications. The meter
will be calibrated before shipping
using the
procedure
as prescribed in the HP/Agilent service manual. All instrumentation used to calibrate the 438A is currently within calibration and is NIST traceable.
Included in this package is a very nice, NEW, injection molded case with custom foam cutouts to store the sensor and cable.
Reconditioning a HP 438A Power Meter:
The 438A Power Meter is completely disassembled and cleaned at a grounded, anti-static, work station. All accumulated dust and grime is removed. The printed circuit board's edge connectors are cleaned using lab grade denatured alcohol. The original fan noise is typically a little noisy even with a new fan. If the fan is excessively noisy it is replaced with a new, exact replacement, fan kit. The RAM backup battery is checked and replaced if necessary. The front panel display, and push button assembly is completely disassembled and serviced. The front panel is pains-takingly cleaned and stickers are removed. The front panel is then waxed and polished with a high-quality wax. It has a like-new H-P luster when completed. Likewise, the display lens is polished and has a new finish. The push button switches are cleaned, lubricated, and checked for performance. Any bad push buttons are replaced. (The push buttons feel like new after cleaning). Overall, the front panel will look as perfect as it can with very minor blemishes, if any at all. The outside of the instrument is thoroughly cleaned, and old stickers are removed. Missing or damaged housing trim pieces are replaced.
After reassembly, the Hewlett-Packard 438A Power Meter is calibrated per the H-P service manual. The three power supplies (+/- 15 VDC and 5 VDC) are checked for proper level and excessive ripple and noise, and are adjusted to spec., A/D slope adjustment, 220 Hz freq adj., range 4 and 5 shaper, power ref frequency and level adjustments are made. The instrument is then checked with a certified and calibrated, Agilent, 11683A Range Calibrator.  Lastly, new dust caps are provided on all connector housings to protect the connectors.
This Agilent 438A Power Meter and 8481A Power Sensor will be calibrated before shipping and come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 30 day return privilege.
The "Certificate of Calibration," and "performance data sheets," are presented in a
professional "Portfolio" style report folio.
The 11683A Range Calibrator is for demonstration purposes only and is not part of this sale.

Description/Features:
The
Hewlett-Packard 438A power meter
is a dual-channel power meter designed specifically for ATE systems. The compact front panel saves critical rack space, while the dual-channel design allows simple and accurate measurements of the ratio and difference of power levels from two separate sensors.
The
Hewlett-Packard 8481A Power Sensor
, is designed for use with the EPM series, EPM-P series, 70100A, E1416A and 43x power meters, and provides extraordinary accuracy and stability. The Keysight Agilent HP 8481A, Power Sensor, gives you extremely low SWR, and is traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A calibration port is included with the above power meters for calibration with the power sensor. This calibration provides traceability to NIST, and it eliminates the uncertainties due to temperature changes and the variance in making measurements with different meter/sensor combinations.
The new (old stock) 8481A has the following operating parameters:
10 MHz to 18 GHz operational frequency range
-30 to +20 dBm power measuring range
