RF Signal Measurement Mode
The RF Signal Measurement Mode is the default display mode for leakage testing and is
used to accurately determine the strength of a leak, pinpoint its location, and provide a
leakage value for documentation. Measured RF leakage values can range from 2 to 2000
µV/m and are displayed in large, easy-to-read numbers. A bar graph at the bottom of the
display illuminates proportionally to the signal strength of the leak.
Additionally, an audible tone will sound if the measured signal breaks squelch. The signal
breaks squelch when the RF leakage is greater than the squelch level and tag qualifiers are
also met. This tone can be used to help locate the potential source of the leak.
When the Signal Level display is selected, the Antenna icon flashes as indicated by the red
circle in the following images.
Freezing the Measurement Display
To momentarilly freeze the numerical display in order to document a leakage value,
press the
CHANGE
button
. To unfreeze the display, press either the
CHANGE
or
SELECT
button
.
The display will flash to remind you it has been frozen. Even though the numerical
display doesn’t change, the bar graph will continue to update and the audible tone will
still sound if the measured signal breaks squelch.
