The first antenna of the international scientific project "Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope" (SKA), known as SKA-P, was officially launched today at the 54th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation. Developed by China, this antenna marks a significant milestone in the global effort to explore the universe through radio waves. At 3:15 PM, the SKA-P antenna, standing on a 10-meter-high base, began its rotation. Its reflector moved gracefully, resembling a smart and flexible "big ear," scanning the sky from 15° to 90° in elevation and sweeping 270° horizontally. This motion showcased its remarkable precision and adaptability. Liu Liehong, General Manager of China Electronics Technology Group, stated, "The successful development of SKA-P demonstrates China's leading role in the R&D of SKA core equipment and provides a world-class 'antenna solution' for international science projects." SKA is the largest radio telescope ever planned, involving collaboration among scientists and engineers from over 20 countries. It will be built across Australia and South Africa, covering an area of about 3,000 kilometers. The array will consist of 2,500 antennas, with a total receiving area equivalent to 140 football fields. Wang Feng, Deputy Director of the SKA Office, emphasized that the SKA project will revolutionize our understanding of the universe and physics. With a sensitivity 50 times greater and a survey speed 10,000 times faster than current telescopes, SKA is expected to lead scientific discovery for decades. SKA-P, developed by the 54th Research Institute after five years of research, features a highly precise design. Its main reflector, made up of 66 triangular panels, achieves an accuracy of 0.1 mm. The antenna also boasts high electromagnetic shielding, ensuring it can detect faint cosmic signals without interference. With its advanced digital control system, SKA-P can point accurately to targets and synchronize with thousands of other antennas spread across 3,000 kilometers. This ensures maximum efficiency and precision in observations. After the launch of SKA-P, the SKA project will enter its construction phase, starting with SKA1, which will build around 130 antennas over three years. This stage will lay the foundation for future large-scale observations. SKA spans two continents, offering unprecedented resolution and insight into the cosmos. It aims to explore the origins of the universe, search for alien life, and test fundamental physical theories like Einstein’s general relativity. Du Fu, chief designer of the SKA reflector antennas, said, "SKA will see farther and more clearly, bringing unexpected discoveries that will boost China’s research in astronomy, physics, and information technology, enhancing its global influence."

Power Meter 2 Rates

Power Meter is a monitoring and testing instrument which determines the power consumption of a connected appliance and the cost of the electricity consumed.

Installing the batteries

Install 3.6V rechargeable Battcrics(NI-MH) . The purpose of the batteries is to store the total electricity and mcinory setting.

Resetting

If an abnormal display appears or the buttons produce no response, the instrument must be reset. To do this,press the RESET button.

Display Mode

Entire LCD can be displayed for about 1 minute and then it automatically gets into Model. To transfer from one mode to the other, press the FUNCTION button.

Mode 1: Time/Watt/Cost Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutcs (2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours) and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which means after 24 hours, it will rc-caculatc. LCD on second line displays current power which ranges in 0.0W~9999W. LCD on third line displays the current electricity costs which ranges in 0.0cost~9999cost. It will keep on O.OOcost before setting rate without other figures.

Mode 2: l ime/Cumulative electrical quantity Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.

LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:0() again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current cumulative electrical quantity which ranges in 0.000K WH 〜 9999KWII without other figures. LCD on third line displays''DAY''- "1 "will be showed on numerical part(thc other three figures will be showed at carry) which means it has cumulated electrical quantity for 24hours(one day). The rest can be done in the same manner untial the maximal cumulative time of 9999 days.

Mode 3: Time/Voltage/Frequency Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays current voltage supply (v) which ranges in 0.0V~9999V .LCD on third line displays current frequency (HZ) which ranges in 0.0HZ~9999HZ without other figures.

Mode 4: Time/Current/Power Factor Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones.

LCD on second line displays load current which ranges in 0.0000A~9999A. LCD on third line displays current power factor which ranges in 0.00PF 〜 1 .OOPF without other figures.

Mode 5:Time/Minimum Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 clones. LCD on second line displays the miniinum power which ranges in 0.0W~9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Lo" without other figures.

Mode 6: I,ime/Maximal Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays the maximal power which ranges in 0.0W~9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Hi" without other figures.

Mode 7: Time/Price Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on third line displays the cost which ranges in O.OOCOST/KWH 〜 99.99COST/KWH without other figures.

After keeping COST button pressed lasting more than 3 seconds(LCD on third line display system defaults price, eg O.OOCOST/KWH ),the rendered content begins moving up and down which means that the device has entered the setting mode. Then press FUNCTION button to change selection and press UP/DOWN to set what you want. (On pressing once, the figure after domical point will increase or decrease accordingly. On pressing and hold-on, figures after demical point will increase or decrease slowly in 2 seconds while figures change quickly when hold-on time exceeds 2 seconds. When hold-on time reaches 10 seconds or more, the figures after demical point will stop while the figures before demical point begin to increasing or decreasing.) After that, press FUNCTION fbr swithing, then press [UP'nd "DOWN" button again to set value which ranges in OO.OOCOST/KWH 〜 99.99COST/KWH. After setting all above, press COST to return to Mode7 or it will automatically return to Mode7 without any pressing after setting with data storage.
