SA 1454 Portable Signal Analyzer
Overview
The SA 1454 is an integrated TV/RF signal level meter, signal quality analyzer and spectrum analyzer which isolates antenna, cable, TV and RF distribution problems in minutes. The full spectral display allows you to view your full channel line-up or a specific channel or frequency for quick and accurate signal troubleshooting and verification.
The SA1454 provides signal leakage and ingress testing capabilities. In the digital world, ingress can cause serious signal delivery problems. Most signal ingress problems can be directly traced back to the consumer side of the drop.
The SA1454 can see TV/RF carriers simultaneously for fast level and tilt adjustment comparisons. It can visually inspect near or in a TV/RF channel to find interference carriers and see channel signal flatness to orient antenna for best digital TV reception.
Features
The SA 1454 Portable Signal Analyzer:
Analyze analog NTSC TV-RF signals off-air or on cable for RF level dBmV, A/V, C/N & Hum% Analyze digital TV-RF signals off-air (8-VSB) or cable (QAM) for average power, digital flatness, C/N ratio and emulated BER (Bit-error-rate) Test for signal leaking from TV-RF systems in homes or commercial building to avoid CLI disconnection by the cable company Document TV-RF system performance by logging channel measurement data and printing the stored test results Signal Leakage and Ingress testing capabilities to track down signal interference that can cause serious digital signal problems and ensure good quality signals at every drop Data logging and printing capabilities for system documentation and future drop point comparisons. Plus, built-in voltmeter for quick voltage testing through the coax for cable modem and telephony installs Analog signal testing parameters that include RF level, C/N, A/V ratio, and audio output levels Fully featured spectral display for viewing your full channel line-up or a specific carrier or frequency to isolate signal problems Less than 3 lbs, over 4 hours of continuous battery useSpecifications
