Ingress Detection:

Detect unwanted ingress signals in the drop and home wiring. Meter automatically scans the return path and checks for ingress down to -40 dBmV. A Pass / Fail message is displayed along with the frequency and level of the highest ingress signal.

Leakage Detection:

Detect forward channels leaking from the drop and home wiring. Leakage detection is the fastest way to find the source of Ingress; simply attach the rubber duck antenna and search for “hot spots”. Shutting down a source of Leakage shuts down a source of Ingress.

MER, BER & C/N:

Add three quality measurements with one option. MER (modulation error ratio) and BER (bit error rate) are digital channel quality tests that indicate not only the quality but also the reliability of a digital channel. C/N (carrier to noise ratio) is a similar test for analog channels.

MODEM Level:

This option adds a DOCSIS modem chip-set to your meter. Qualify the return path by establishing a connection with the CMTS (cable modem termination system) and verify healthy margins by viewing the modem’s return level.

1 GHz. Tuning:

Extend the upper tuning range from 872 MHz to 1000 MHz. (1 GHz).
