About the Seeker X

The VIAVI Seeker X™ leakage detector provides the agility
to monitor leakage anywhere in a channel lineup, with the
sensitivity and speed to accurately detect leaks that other
systems miss.
With support for up to 4 concurrent monitoring frequencies
from 130–150 and 250–1220 MHz including OFDM support,
Seeker X affords operators complete flexibility in defining
downstream channel lineups, while providing true full-spectrum
leakage detection.
Seeker X will detect tagged leaks and ignore untagged leaks,
saving time from false alarms from signals not originating
in your system, including overbuild situations. In addition to
legacy Seeker D tag signals, Seeker X detects the revolutionary
new digitally tagged carrier to provide unmatched leakage
sensitivity and positive leak detection. This allows more
thorough and accurate coverage of your plant in driveout
testing and much more efficient find and fix processes for techs
in the field.
Transition to distributed access architectures is simplified by
virtualized tagging capabilities supported by most major R-PHY,
R-MACPHY, and R-CCAP vendors. With this approach, no specialized hardware is required in the
hub, and technicians use the same Seeker leakage detectors and work processes regardless of
node type.
Seeker X detectors and Mobile Mounts can be dropped into systems currently using Seeker
Ds with no change to existing monitoring and find/fix processes. These new Seeker X units
can benefit from the increased speed, sensitivity, and OFDM detection on their own, and
can monitor two extra tagged frequencies if CT-4 taggers are swapped out for Seeker-D
compatible CT-X units.
The Seeker X may be used in its Mobile Mount for driveouts, or removed from the mount for
leakage troubleshooting on foot with the WFS-1 adjustable dipole or WFS-2 wideband log
periodic.
Regardless of the system architecture or channel lineup, Seeker X provides all the capabilities
to find and fix leaks quickly, accurately, and effectively.
