Page 14: Spectrum Measurement Mode
1 µV, 1 mV or 1 mW (Section 4.5.2). To define V/A and C/N ratios for analog channels the IT-081 performs measurements in three frequency points. The first one is the video carrier frequency (or the frequency your Meter is set to). The second frequency point is the audio carrier frequency (for Secam D/K template this point is 6.5 MHz shifted up... -

Min Digital C/N (dB). The minimum possible value of C/N ratio for digital channels. - Page 21 4.4.4.3. Viewing and Checking Channel Data Logger Page When viewing the contents of a channel data logger page, the data table has the same view as in the figure 4.16. The table contains the channel number, name and frequency, and also the measured parameters. If any errors are found in the channel parameter values, this channel number will be shown against the red background.

4.8. Battery Operation The IT-081 is powered by a built-in power source with 6 NiMH AA batteries of 14.5x49.5 mm dimensions and no less than 2100 mAh capacity. To determine the residual capacity of the batteries, use the Self-test program of the Meter (see Section 4.5.1). -
Page 30: Maintenance
Method of correction: Replace the input adapter by the proper one. Possible reason: Incorrect setting of channel plan or channel allocation standard (template), which makes the IT-081 to tune to offset video carrier point. This can be tested in spectrum analyzer mode. -
Page 31: Storage
С, relative humidity up to 90 % (at 30 С). 8. TRANSPORTATION The IT-081 must be shipped in any closed vehicle at temperature from -20 to +40 С, relative humidity 90% (at 30 С) and atmospheric pressure of 84 to 106.7 kPa (630 to 800 mm Hg).
