Pilot Level; Next Band; Leak Alarms - Arcom QAM Snare Snoop User Manual

Pilot Level

The Transmitter RF output level is +46 dBmV, but there are many scenarios where
the test pilot signal level will be lower. For example, if a
splitter is connected after the grounding block, the
transmitter signal will be attenuated 7 to 8 dB. So, an
adjustment to the receiver will be necessary. Assuming the
splitter is 3 or 4-way, the Test Pilot RF output of the splitter
will be +39 dBmV. In this situation the Snoop Pilot Level
setting should be set to +39 dBmV. (+46 dBmV pilot out – 7.5 dB splitter attenuation).

Next Band

To configure the LTE pilot, select Next Band and the select the channels, code and
Pilot Level as done in the Low band
Remember that prior to using the Pilot transmitter, the transmitter needs to be
connected to the cradled Snoop via USB such that the pilot settings configured in
Snoop can automatically be transferred to the Pilot transmitter. After initial setup this
connection process is only required when a change is made to the Snoop pilot settings.

Leak Alarms

The Snoop can be configured to provide low and high
level audio alarms based upon the amplitude of the detected
leak, for both bands of operation in Signal alarm mode (QAM,
OFDM, or Analog) and in Shielding Test alarm mode. The
alarm is based upon the leak level at the detector.
