Technical description and operating manual ST 167 and ST167W5 

 

 

 

In  the  window  that  appears  (Fig.  3),  the  first  line, 

“Region,” allows you to set cellular standards based on location. 

The list is being updated (See updates on the site).  

 
 

 
 

 

Also, for automatic setting of standards, the ST181 base station analyzer is used. 
In this windows  can be excluded from the analysis completely all cellular standards pressing 

 

(uncheck line "Cellular..") or, if pressed again 

, enter into a detailed list of standards (Figure 4).

 

 

The name of a disabled standard in the bottom of the screen will be discolored. 

 

To return to the display mode ""AUTOMATIC" " (Figure 2) successively press on.

 

.

 

If  there  are  no  signals,  that  has  exceeded  the  predetermined  threshold  the 

indication corresponds to Fig 2. 

Dotted line of variable length at the top of the screen indicates the serial view of 

frequency ranges of the selected signals, while a continuous black line at the bottom of 

the screen is an additional time period indication necessary to view the frequency range 

signals of the ART (S).  

Duration  of  the  view  depends  on  the  selected  range  and  the  bandwidth  being 

analyzed. Maximum time corresponds to the full range and minimum bandwidth being analyzed. This option 

is selected by default. If you change these values the viewing time will decrease until the line disappears. 

 
Threshold  is  made  via  the  menu  -  "Threshold  .."  and  then  select  a  desired 

standard. Selection of the threshold value can be selected individually for each standard 
DRT. The lower the number on the right side of the display - the higher the sensitivity.

 

 

Select the maximum sensitivity in the absence of false alarms from distant sources.  

 

 

 

 

When exceeding the set threshold of any of the signals, its level is displayed as a 

numerical value and the two-tone multi-segment scale (Fig.6). The segments corresponding 

to  the  value  exceeding  the  signal  level  threshold,  are  displayed  in  red.  The  unit  may 

simultaneously  display  three  detected  signals.  Red  lit  symbol  in  the  status  bar  is  an 

additional indication of detection. This will happen if the signal persists for the time set with 

the submenu  ("Log.." > "Min.duration."). This setting is the same for all characters (see 

6.9).

 

 

Provided all standards and options, except analog signal search, are selected the total cycle time is 800ms. 

While 40ms is service intercharge (keyboard and display). Analysis time for GSM 900, 1800 and 3G frequencies 

is 40ms, for Wi-Fi and BLUETOOTH it equals to 150ms. 

 

 

In order to increase the probability of detection, exclude unnecessary ranges. 

 

 

In this mode the unit can work on schedule, automatically switching on, recording the detected signals and 

switching off at a specified time. Activate this option by following these steps: 

 

 

Set the time in accordance with the "TABLE 4" in the "MENU" > "System ..." > "Time .." > "Set clock..". 

When connected to a PC the time is set automatically using the "ST167Analyzer" application. When ST167 is 

switched off, the settings will be reset.
