2. Product description
2.1. Introduction
This professional CATV/TV Level Meter has been designed for the
installation and maintenance of Cable TV and VHF/UHF TV system.
The inside circuitry and mechanical design has been carefully
developed in order to obtain very light, slim typed field strength meter.
To allow the installer to work in the best conditions, it is also offering
built-in power (rechargeable battery) and hang-on-the neck type
carrying case. The LCD display with Back-light is shown several kinds
of information such as Frequency, Measuring level, Function, units
and bar graph. The compact metal cabinet will be a right choice for
heavy-duty field use. It is a real instrument to measure, verify and
optimize Cable TV and VHF/UHF TV systems at any stage of
installation.
