2) Ideally, the RF level should be checked with an instrument such as a spectrum analyzer to verify that the levels are appropriate. If instrumentation is not available to actually measure the RF levels, Force recom- mends adding 40 dB of attenuation at the transmitter input; 40 dB of attenuation will adequately protect the unit from the highest RF levels that might be seen in a typical CATV installation. -

3) The RF input spectrum may not be flat. It is possible to have a green RF level LED even if the input spec- trum has a large amount of tilt. All Force CATV products are designed to operate with a flat input spec- trum. -
