WM06 Trilithic Tricorder II CATV Signal Leakage Meter
Using the SLM and Leakage Monitor Functions, Tricorder II can identify and measure Signal Level, sdB, Signal Leakage, Super Leak Detection, and Battery Voltage
Price: $ 425.00 / Each
Trilithic Tricorder II
In addition to measuring signals for you, Tricorder II’s sdB feature enables you to measure aural/visual or hi/lo pilot carrier ratios at the simple push of a button. Tricorder II can test uncalibrated leakage (standard) or calibrated if equipped with the CLI (Calibrated Leakage) option.
Tricorder II is designed to maintain an active distribution system by performing key tests. This meter is effective for testing from the tap to the customer outlet.
Using the SLM and Leakage Monitor Functions, Tricorder II can identify and measure the following: • Signal Level • sdB • Signal Leakage • Super Leak Detection • Battery Voltage
If the Tricorder II is enhanced with the VIA features, it is even more powerful. These include: • Data Logging • FCC Evaluator • Drop Evaluator
About Enhanced Tricorder Features If you have purchased an enhanced Tricorder II or III, you have ensured that you are equipped with a powerful partner for maintaining your system.
These Tricorders include Data Logging, FCC Evaluator, and Drop Evaluator in addition to the standard functions.
DATA LOGGING FEATURE : The Data Logging feature contains two modes: MANUAL and AUTOMATIC.
MANUAL MODE : When Data Logging is set to the MANUAL Mode, the Tricorder can measure and store video carrier levels for up to 100 channels at up to 24 sites so that you can later download the information to a PC or a printer. These records can be invaluable for documenting installations or for tracking long-term amplitude problems.
Each data record is stamped with the data and time and you may also add a 7-digit work order number to facilitate record tracking. If you have connected the optional temperature probe, the record will also include ambient temperature.
AUTOMATIC MODE : When you set Data Logging to AUTOMATIC Mode, your Meter will measure and record the level of all carriers at regular time intervals; settable from 5 minutes to 6 hours between records. A special power down feature conserves batteries between measurements so that complete 24-hour records can be taken on a single charge.
FCC EVALUATOR : The FCC Evaluator feature activates internal software which automatically analyzes signal level data and confirms compliance with FCC specifications.
The FCC Evaluator tests for all Part 76.605 amplitude-related requirements including: • Absolute Amplitude (76.605.a3) • Adjacent Visual Levels (76.605.a4i) • Maximum/Minimum Visual Amplitude Difference (76.605.a4ii) • Visual/Aural Carrier Ratio (76.605.a5)
Once it has analyzed the measurement data, the FCC Evaluator displays a simple PASS or FAIL message. Then it generates and stores a full test report which can be downloaded to a PC or a printer.
When troubleshooting, you can call up and display each channel which fell outside each of the FCC limits; with a message indicating which test failed.
DROP EVALUATOR : Use the DROP EVALUATOR feature to scan the user memories automatically. This enables you to compare each memory to a minimum and maximum limit which is unique to each memory. There are three sets of limits which may be selected via F16. These include one for: • Tap Levels • Block Levels • Back of Set Top Converter Levels
This gives you a total of 30 entries in the limit table. These three sets of limits are stored in the EEPROM and are assigned a default value of – 30.0 dBmV minimum and + 60.0 dBmV maximum. Values which meet your system’s requirements are set easily via TriSetup Software.
