1. PRODUCT FAMILY GENERAL INFORMATION 

IT-08

 is a multifunction handheld compact lightweight measurement instrument 

incorporating two components. One of the components, MB-08 Base Unit, remains 
invariable and provides color display, control and powering (from batteries or mains 
adapter) features. The other component, MC-08x, is one of the removable modules, which 
determine measurement functions of the whole instrument. 

IT-08

 is capable to satisfy all your requirements in radio, cable and satellite, analog 

and digital TV measurements. 

According to your measurement target, you can easily and quickly plug in one of the 

modules into the Base Unit and perform the needed measurements. So, replacing the 
modules you can obtain options featuring the following different applications: 

IT-081

 

TV Level Meter 

(MC-081 module plugged-in), 5 to 900 MHz range. 

Measurement of level, video-audio and carrier-noise ratios; 

IT-082 DVB-S Signal Analyzer 

(MC-082 module plugged-in), 950 to 2150 MHz 

range. Measurement of BER and MER values for digital satellite (QPSK DVB-S). Powering 
LNB SAT. DiSEqC generator; 

IT-083 DVB-S/S2 Signal Analyzer 

(MC-083 module plugged-in), 950 to 2150 MHz 

range. Measurement of BER and MER values for digital satellite (QPSK/8PSK DVB-S/S2). 
Powering LNB SAT. DiSEqC generator; 

IT-084 TDR Cable Reflectometer

 (MC-084 module plugged-in) for identification and 

precision fault location in cables up to 1,600 m in length. Resolution 0.11 m; 

IT-086 Optical Power Meter 

(MC-086 module plugged-in), measuring at –50 dBm to 

+20 dBm range and wavelengths 1310 and 1550 nm. 

IT-087 DVB-C Signal Analyzer 

(MC-087 module plugged-in), 45 to 

865 MHz range. Support of DVB-C and ITU-T ANNEX A/C. Measurement of carrier level, 
C/N and V/A ratios, channel power, MER, BER, and constellation diagram. 

IT-088 DVB-T Signal Analyzer

 (MC-088 module plugged-in), 45 to 

865 MHz range. Support of DVB-T and DVB-H with COFDM modulation. Measurements 
for analog channels: carrier level, C/N and V/A ratios and for digital channels: channel 
power, MER, BER, and constellation diagram.  

IT-089 DVB-T/T2 Signal Analyzer

 (MC-089 module plugged-in), 45 to 

900 MHz range. Support of DVB-T/T2 modulation. Measurements for analog channels: 
carrier level, C/N and V/A ratios and for digital channels: channel power, MER, BER, 
constellation and echo diagrams. Powering of antenna amplifier. 

 
You can purchase MB-08 Base Unit accompanied by any of the module(s), currently 

required, at your option. Later on, you can acquire any other module(s) to expand your 
measurement abilities.
