Installation and Maintenance of E1 circuits

ALBEDO AT-2048 is a rug-

ged fully featured battery oper-
ated E1/Datacom handheld 
tester designed in 2010 provid-
ing easy navigation and high 
resolution screen. Low cost, fully 
featured, it is a truly perfect field 
tool for installation, acceptance 
and maintenance of PDH and 
Datacom links including bi-di-
rectional (BER) test functions. 

A valuable tool that offers 

generator, dual analyzer, USB, 
Ethernet, and RJ45 interfaces. It 
offers Jitter measurements and 
pulse mask, therefore it can 
monitor slots activity, delay and 
frequency measurements fre-
quency measurements over 
more than seven hours. Test re-
sults can be saved in a Memory 
stick or transferred to a PC.
