Introduction

The Elecraft W2 is a versatile, auto-ranging RF power and SWR meter that utilizes remote sensing. Up to two remote sensors can be attached, with various power and frequency ranges available (see Sensors, page 17). Sensors use standard CAT5 shielded or unshielded cables.

The W2 includes adjustable, high-brightness LED bargraphs for both forward power and SWR. These allow you to keep track of transmitter or amplifier performance at a glance, even in low lighting or across a large room. The power bargraph's full scale ranges are 2, 20, 200, and 2000 watts, with either manual or automatic range selection or peak- hold capability.

A PC-compatible serial interface is included, allowing easy firmware upgrading via the internet, as well as configuration of the W2's advanced features. The serial interface cable can be connected directly to any RS232 port, or be used with our "KUSB" USB-to-RS232 adapter. Software applications can use the serial interface to accurately read forward power, reverse power, and SWR from both sensors. This is ideal for remote control as well as customized meter displays.

Also provided is a general purpose alarm output (open-drain) and amplifier keying input/output jacks. The latter can be used to interrupt amplifier keying on power or SWR alarm conditions.

Subsequent sections provide full specifications, operating information, and assembly instructions for building the no-soldering kit version of the W2.

Operation

VERY IMPORTANT!

If you use an antenna tuner, connect it to the LOAD side of the W2's sensor if possible. The W2 will then display the matched SWR seen by the transmitter, rather than the unmatched SWR, and it will be better protected from high RF voltage or current. The sensor can be inserted between the tuner and the antenna, but it could be damaged if both power and SWR are high.

Front Panel

NOTE: If the W2 powers up with the first green (1) power bargraph LED flashing, there is an error in the application program. Reload the firmware as described under Updating Firmware on page 7.

Rear Panel

REAR PANEL CONNECTOR NOTES:

1. A power cable is provided with your W2 with an RCA plug at the supply end that may be connected directly to the 12VDC output on the back panel of an Elecraft K3.

2. Remote Signaling Connector: Provides an alarm output on the ring, dropping from +5V to ground when the SWR exceeds 3:1 (see note 3 below) on the connector ring. Connector tip is a logic (0-5V) input (TBD).

3. Remote PTT Control: Relay switched loop-through provided to disable a transmitter or exciter for high SWR protection. If the SWR exceeds 3:1 a normally-closed relay opens the loop-through line and all the front panel LEDs flash. Reset the W2 by pressing the SENSOR or RANGE button.

4. PC Data (Optional): Provides an RS232 data interface that may be used to connect the W2 to a personal computer. See Appendix B for details.

5. Sensor 1 and 2: A suitable cable is provided with each Sensor unit to connect it to the display.

Directional Coupler (Sensor)

A directional coupler is used to measure RF power and standing wave ratio (SWR). A typical directional coupler is shown below.

Advanced Operation

Updating Firmware

From time to time, updated and improved firmware may become available for the W2. The latest firmware may be downloaded from Elecraft and installed using the optional PC interface and the W2 Utility program which may be downloaded from www.elecraft.com. You’ll need a computer with an RS232 interface or a USB interface and a USB to RS232 converter such as the KUSB universal serial bus adapter available from Elecraft. You’ll need an interface cable to connect your computer to the W2. A suitable cable is described in Appendix B.

Updated program files may be obtained in two ways. You can check the box in the W2 Utility that says “Copy new files from Elecraft into local folder. This will download the latest production released firmware. Optionally, you can download the new file from the Elecraft web site manually and place it in a local folder, then browse for it within the W2 utility. This is the way to access the latest Beta firmware available from Elecraft.

When you start loading new firmware, the green 1 LED on the power bar graph will turn off and the yellow 2W LED will start flashing as new data is received. If the 2W LED stays on but doesn’t flash, data is not being received by the W2.

You can force the W2 to load new firmware by turning the unit off, then hold the SENSOR button in while pressing POWER. When you release both buttons the green 1 LED will start flashing indicating the firmware loader is active. Use the W2 utility to load the new firmware as described above.

Calibration

Your W2 will meet factory specifications (see page 4) without further calibration. If desired, you may adjust the calibration to agree with another wattmeter. Connect your W2 and the reference wattmeter in series between your transmitter and a suitable dummy load and connect your W2 to a PC and start the W2 Utility program. Apply power and compare the readings on the W2 and the reference wattmeter. On the PC, click on the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons to change the W2s reading as desired. .

Kit Assembly

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

There is no climate or work location where the components of your W2 are safe from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) unless you take specific steps to prevent such damage. Many components can be damaged by static discharges of only a few volts: far too little for you to notice.

ESD damage may not be apparent at first. The damaged components may not fail completely. Instead, the damage may result in below-normal performance for an extended period of time before you experience a total failure.

ESD damage cannot occur if there is no voltage difference between the components in any object that touches them. We strongly recommend you take the following anti-static precautions (listed in order of importance) to avoid trouble:

Leave ESD-sensitive parts in their anti-static packaging until you install them. The packaging may be a special plastic bag that allow static charges to flow harmlessly over their surface, or the component’s leads may be inserted in conductive foam that keep them at the same potential. Parts which are especially ESD-sensitive are identified in the parts list and in the assembly procedures.

Wear a conductive wrist strap with a series 1-megohm resistor that will constantly drain off any static charge that accumulates on your body. If you do not have a wrist strap, touch a ground briefly before touching any sensitive parts to discharge your body. Do this frequently while you are working. You can collect a destructive static charge on your body just sitting at the work bench.

WARNING

DO NOT attach a ground directly to yourself without a current-limiting resistor as this poses a serious shock hazard. A wrist strap must include a 1-megohm resistor to limit the current flow. If you choose to touch an unpainted, metal ground to discharge yourself, do it only when you are not touching any live circuits with any part of your body.

Use a grounded anti-static mat on your work bench.

If you choose to use a soldering iron to work on your W2 for any reason, be sure your iron has an ESD-safe grounded tip tied to the same common ground used by your mat or wrist strap.

Tools Required

1. #0 and #1 size Phillips screwdrivers. Use the screwdriver that best fits the screw in each step. To avoid damaging screws and nuts, a power screwdriver is not recommended.

2. Needle-nose pliers.

The following tools are strongly recommended:

1. ESD wrist strap.

2. Static dissipating work pad.

Assembly Procedure

Before starting construction, do a complete inventory, comparing the parts in your kit with the parts list in Appendix A, to familiarize yourself with all of the parts and to ensure the kit is complete.. If any parts are missing contact Elecraft for a replacement (see Customer Service and Support, page 3).

Display Unit Assembly

Mount two standoffs and two 2D fasteners on the bottom of the main board as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Installing Hardware on Main Board.

Page 10: ELECRAFT W-2 WATTMETER - Elecraft® Hands-On Ham …s_Manual_Prelim_10-15-09.pdf · calibration to agree with another wattmeter. ... Many components can be damaged by static discharges

10

Place the 1/8” (2.9 mm) spacer under regulator U3 and temporarily secure it as shown in Figure 2. It is important that the spacer stay in place so it won’t fall out later when you remove the screw to mount the bottom cover.

Figure 2. Installing U3 Spacer.

Check the front panel board for a nylon screw at each corner with the head on the rear (side opposite the LEDs) as shown in Figure 3. If necessary install a 2-56 5/32” (4.0 mm) nylon screw at each location. These screws are inserted until the heads just touch the PC board. They don’t hold anything. When the W2 is fully assembled, the heads of these screws serve as “bumpers” that press against 2D fasteners in t he case to keep the front panel board from flexing when buttons are pressed.

Figure 3. Nylon "Bumper" Screws in Front Panel Board.

Press one gray keycap onto each of the three pushbuttons on the front panel boar d (see Figure 4)

Figure 4. Installing Pushbutton Key Caps.

Page 11: ELECRAFT W-2 WATTMETER - Elecraft® Hands-On Ham …s_Manual_Prelim_10-15-09.pdf · calibration to agree with another wattmeter. ... Many components can be damaged by static discharges

11

Mate plug P1 on the bottom of the main board with jack J1 on the front panel board as shown in Figure 5. Note that one pin on P1 has been removed and a plug is placed in the corresponding hole in J1. This is to help

avoid misaligning the connectors. Be sure the connectors are aligned and fully mated as shown.

Figure 5. Mating the Front Panel and Main PC Boards.

Locate the bottom cover and remove the paint from the inside around the corner screw holes as shown in Figure 6so the cover will form good electrical contact with the standoffs and 2D fasteners when it is mounted.

Figure 6. Preparing the Bottom Cover for Mounting.

Page 12: ELECRAFT W-2 WATTMETER - Elecraft® Hands-On Ham …s_Manual_Prelim_10-15-09.pdf · calibration to agree with another wattmeter. ... Many components can be damaged by static discharges

12

Remove the screw holding the spacer between U3 and the pc board and mount the bottom cover as shown in Figure 7. Be careful not to dislodge the spacer. If it falls out, you must remove the cover and replace it as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 7. Mounting Bottom Cover.

CAUTION Do not put stress on the pc boards when installing the screws in the following step. It

is best not to tighten the screws until the enclosure is fully assembled so the panels can move slightly as needed for best alignment.

Secure the bottom cover as follows. No lock washers are used.

Two 3/16” (4.0 mm) black flat head screws in the corner holes nearest the front panel board (these holes are beveled so the flat had screws will be flush with the panel)

Two 3/16” (4.0 mm) black pan head screws through the holes near the rear panel.

Page 13: ELECRAFT W-2 WATTMETER - Elecraft® Hands-On Ham …s_Manual_Prelim_10-15-09.pdf · calibration to agree with another wattmeter. ... Many components can be damaged by static discharges

13

Install a 3/16” (4.0 mm) black pan head screw into the mounting hole for the PTT RY connector as shown in Figure 9. Do not tighten this screw! It only threads into plastic. Stop turning when the head reaches the back panel. Even though you don’t tighten the screw, it provides critical support to keep the connector from flexing when connectors are inserted.

Figure 8. Installing PTT RY Connector Screw.

Locate the front panel cover and fit it over the LEDs so the holes on the bottom line up with the remaining open holes in the bottom 2D fasteners. Check the adjacent LEDs carefully to ensure they are all aligned in even rows. If needed, gently adjust their position for best alignment. This is best done with the cover off.

Secure front panel cover to the 2D fasteners with two 3/16” (4.0 mm) black flat head screws.

Mount 2D fasteners with 3/16” (4.0 mm) black pan head screws at each end of the rear panel cover as shown in Figure 9 (A). Install one fastener at each end of the panel. Do not use lock washers.

Mount 2D fasteners with 3/16” (4.0 mm) black flat head screws at each end of the front panel cover as shown in Figure 9 (B). Install one fastener at each end of the panel. Do not use lock washers.

14

Locate the two side panels. Note that there is a left and a right side panel. They are not interchangeable because of the beveled holes for flat-head mounting screws.

Clean the paint from around the holes on the inside (flat) side of the panels as needed to ensure good electrical contact with the 2D fasteners when they are mounted. Be sure to scrape the paint only from the flat, inside surface.

Mount both side panels on the W2 display unit using three 3/16” (4.0 mm) black flat head screws in each panel. Do not use lock washers

Make a final check of the screw securing U3 on the main pc board with the screw that runs through the bottom cover. Be sure the nut is tight against the board.

NOTE The RJ45 connector, J3, on the main pc board inside the W2 is used only for initial programming of the board at the factory. That’s why it’s hidden inside the W2.

Mount the top cover, sliding it on from the rear so the REM connector fits through the hole in the back. Secure the cover with two 3/16” (4.0 mm) black flat head screws at the front corners and two 3/16” (4.0 mm) black flat head screws at the back. Do not use lock washers.

Mount the four self-stick feet near the corners on the bottom cover. Good locations are near the screws in corners, but take care not to cover the flat head screws or bridge the seam between the bottom and front panel.

That completes the assembly of your W2 Display Unit.

Directional Coupler

The directional coupler sensor used to provide RF Power and SWR a measurement is furnished completely assembled and tested to ensure the greatest measurement accuracy. We recommend you do not open the unit. The interior of a typical directional coupler is shown in Figure 10.

Appendix B – PC Interface The optional PC interface provides communications for updating the W2 firmware using files downloaded from www.elecraft.com. It also supports controls and data signals between the PC and W2 to operate and display SWR and power information provided by the W2. All data communications with the W2 takes place at 9600 baud.

PC Data Cable

A cable wired as follows is required to communicate with a PC through an RS232 port. A 6-foot (1.8 meter) serial interface cable is included with your factory-assembled W2. A cable kit (W1SERKT) in included with your kit W2. If your computer has only Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, you can use a USB adapter such as the KUSB adapter available from Elecraft.

Serial Interface Commands

The W2 responds to commands for data supplied by the external system. Nothing is sent until a command is received by the W2. These requests are in the form of a single letter as shown below. The user sends a single character and receives one data string in response. The semicolon (;) is an end-of-string identifier, and will be at the end of every return string. All strings are fixed length; a space may be added to some strings to ensure this.
