To reduce the likelihood of false alarms, you can configure the alarm
to occur only when a tag signal is present. You can quickly adjust the
volume of the alarm and even mute it if desired.
Your CLI-1450 makes the accurate leakage measurements that you
need to verify compliance with government regulations. The type of
antenna you are using and the distance from the leak are considered
when measuring field strength. You can select from among four
antenna types — monopole, dipole, vehicle mount and custom. The
antenna factor for each type is programmable.
The most accurate and repeatable measurements are made using a
dipole antenna located at the required reference distance. This is the
only method recommended by Wavetek Wandel Goltermann for
making compliance measurements. You can also make approximate
measurements up to 30 meters away by entering the estimated
distance from the leak. Your CLI-1450 will calculate what the
equivalent field strength would be at the reference distance. These
measurements are adequate for grading leaks you have found and
prioritizing your repair schedule based on leak severity.
The CLI-1450 has the ability to interface with GPS tracking systems
using its built-in serial port.
LEVEL MEASUREMENTS
Your CLI-1450 performs accurate signal level measurements — even
on scrambled channels with horizontal or vertical sync suppression. A
scan mode allows you to see the levels of all carriers in a spectral
display. You can also view level measurements at a single frequency
or for a specific channel. When tuned to a channel, the display
indicates the levels of the video and audio carriers, and the difference
between the carrier levels.
When performing an installation, you can press the Installation Check
key to quickly verify that all channels are within limits that you have
defined. You can use this feature to determine whether or not a
subscriber connection meets government regulations.
A special channel plan building mode automatically determines
