HP 8482A -HP 5347A

Hello, colleagues. Please advise me if I can use the HP8482A sensor for the HP 5347A counter. Thank you very much!

You should be able to - I suspect that the reason it isn't listed in the manual is that the 5347A is a "20Ghz instrument" and the 8482A is only a 4GHz sensor (from memory, somewhere around that as compared to the 8481A which goes to 18GHz).

The connection is the same but I haven't used the 5347A (I think I have a similar instrument around here somewhere but I don't use it) so there might be something specific about the calibration factor entry but that should be fairly easy to overcome by just putting in a temp value if it needs all them to run.
