Portable Sat/Cable/Broadcast Signal Meter

SLM 1475

The SLM 1475 enables today's RF professional to test and analyze a variety of RF signals, including terrestrial (off-air), satellite, and cable signals. The SLM 1475 also provides decoded video and program streams for all in-the-clear channels.

Terrestrial

  • Accurately measures analog and digital signal levels
  • Full-color, decoded ATSC video for quick visual quality assurance
  • Digital quality measurements including MER, Noise Margin, Pre/Post BER and Average Peak Level

Cable

  • Full tuning capabilities from 4-1000Mhz for both analog and digital signals including QAM 64 and QAM 256 Annex B
  • Provides accurate signal level measurements, plus signal quality measurement for analog and digital signals including C/N, Pre/Post BER, MER, EVM, and Constellation
  • 4" Color video display for quick visual inspection of analog and digital channels
  • Spectral display for effcient visual inspection of all channels, or for identifying signal interference problems on a single channel

Satellite

  • Capable of receiving DSS, DVB-S, DVB-S2, QPSK and 8PSK digital signals and measuring Noise Margin, MER, EVM and BER
  • Pre-programmed satellite and transponder channel plan for ease of use
  • Exclusive "Sat Finder" feature for quick satellite discovery and dish alignment
  • Identify interference issues and perform off-air antenna alignment
  • Quick installation and accurate alignment of satellite antennas including multi-satellite dishes
  • Test all CATV systems for digital levels, as well as Pre/Post BER and MER
  • Ensure system quality with ingress and leakage test capabilities
