1INTRODUCTION
1.1
Description
The new TE-4000 is the seventh generation of field meters that ATCI launches. As each new
generation, it represents an evolution from the previous, since it integrates the latest technological
innovations and develops applications for the new demands and needs that have emerged in
recent years.
The new TE-4000 has been created with the aim to make easy the user experience. From its
ergonomic design and stylized lines to the reduction of keys and the easy use of its interface,
everything has been designed so the user has a simple tool to use but powerful and useful.
Figure 1.
The TE-4000 is a universal Analyzer that covers several of the most popular standards, as well as
formats such as MPEG-2 H.265 or MPEG-4 and Dolby audio∗.
1Trademark of the DVB - Digital Video Broadcasting Project.

1-2 Nov 2017
Besides the basic functions of TV meter and spectrum Analyzer for terrestrial and satellite band, it
provides additional tools, such as LTE interferences (some of its working frequencies are close to
the TV bands), the diagrams constellations or the echoes detection.
The TE-4000 has an application to manage data generated at each installation. This feature helps
the user to manage information generated so he can access it at any time or download it to a PC for
further analysis.
The TE-4000 has been designed and developed entirely in the European Union. A multidisciplinary
team of highly qualified professionals has dedicated effort and commitment to the development of
a powerful, efficient and reliable tool. During the manufacturing process, all used materials have
been subjected to a strict quality control.
In an effort to facilitate its work to professionals, our long experience ensures an after sales quality
service, which includes software updates and upgrades for free.

2.2
Power
The TE-4000 is powered by a 7.2 V built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery of high quality and long
operation time.
This equipment can operate on battery or connected to the mains using a DC adapter. An adapter
is also supplied to use with the power connector car (cigarette lighter).
2.2.1 First charge
The equipment comes with the battery half charged. Depending on the time elapsed from first
charge and environmental conditions may have lost some of the charge. You should check the
battery level. It is advisable a first full charge.

2-4 Nov 2017
2.2.2
Charging the battery
Connect the DC power adapter to the equipment through the power connector on the left side
panel (see figure 3).
Figure 3.
Then connect the DC power adapter to the mains via the mains cord. Ensure that your mains
voltage is compatible with the adapter voltage.
For a fast charging of the battery is necessary to switch off the equipment.
If the equipment is ON, the battery charging will be slower, depending on the type of work you are
doing. When connecting the equipment to the mains the mains connected symbol appears
inside the battery icon.
The CHARGER led indicator shows the battery status:
Yellow:Battery charging.
Green: Battery full charge.
Blinking: Battery failure or no battery.
Off: Battery is not charging
When switching on the equipment, the battery voltage is checked. If the tension is too weak to
start, the LED EXT and DRAIN flashes and the equipment does not start up. In this case please
charge the battery immediately.

2.2.3
Charge/discharge times
Average charging time with the equipment off (fast charge):
3 hours to achieve an 80% charge.
5 hours to achieve a 100% charge.
With the equipment on (slow charge):
5 hours to achieve an 80% charge.
8 hours to achieve a 100% charge.
Average discharge time (with external supply disabled):
With the battery full charge the average battery time is 5:30 hours.
With the battery at 80% charge the average battery time is 4 h.
2.2.4
Energy saving
These options are available in the Preferences menu, pressing the key for 1s.
Power Off: It allows the user to select the time to power off, which is the time after which the
equipment shuts down automatically unless user press any key.
TFT Screen: User can select a time after which the TFT screen turns off, but the equipment is
still running normally. The equipment can measure (for example, making a datalogger or
channel exploration) and the battery will last longer, about 10 % more. The screen turns on by
pressing any key. Time options are: off, 1, 5, 10 or 30 minutes.
2.2.5
Smart control battery
The built-in battery of the equipment is of the "smart" type, which means that reports its state of
charge. This information is displayed inside the battery icon in the form of the average time
available. In this way the user can know at any time the remaining battery level.
The remaining time charge that appears is calculated according to the work that has been doing. If
you activate the external supply of the equipment, the average time would be reduced according
to the increase in consumption that occurs.

2-6 Nov 2017
2.2.6
Usage Tips
The battery is losing storage capacity as you go through its life. Contact your ATCI distributor when
necessary to replace the battery.
To prolong battery life the user should follow these tips:
In case of providing a long inactivity period of the equipment it is advisable to make every
3 months a charge / discharge cycle and a subsequent partial charge (40% aprox.).
It is advisable to keep it in a cool place and away from heat.
You should avoid keeping the battery for a long period of time at full load or fully
discharged.
There is not necessary to wait to fully discharge before a charge because these batteries
have no memory effect.
