Chapter 1: General Information
The S7200 is a handheld TV Signal Analyzer that integrates multiple measurement applications in a single
instrument, ideal for use by CATV field technicians and HE engineers. These applications provide most of the
measurements required to maintain optimum performance of a CATV network.
The firmware installed on the S7200 is updated on a regular basis. This User Guide documents procedures for
operating the instrument based on the most recent firmware version up to the date listed on the guide.
1-1 About the S7200 TV Signal Spectrum Analyzer
The product of revolutionary advances in TV signal analysis technology, the S7200 includes a host of
features typically found in more expensive instruments and provides outstanding performance for value.
The S7200 enables field engineers to perform in-service measurements and identify interference signals that
are invisible to many field instruments currently available on the RF test equipment market. The high-speed
spectrum analysis tool supports multiple cable, terrestrial, and satellite digital TV standards, including DVB-
C/C2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, DTMB, DAB, and ATSC or ISDB-Tb (on select models – see below). It can measure
frequencies of 4 ~ 1220 MHz for cable/terrestrial testing, and 950 ~ 2150 MHz for satellite applications.
The TV analyzer function also supports a wide range of video encoding formats, like MPEG2/4, H.264, H.265,
AVS(+), and VC-1, with HD and SD image decoding (4K, 1080p, 720p, 576i, etc.) With the optional DVB-CI
tool, users can even decode encrypted programs. The S7200 also supports mode 1/E BISS decryption.
Support for analog TV standards includes NTSC, PAL, and SECAM.
As 700 MHz becomes more popular for LTE service, LTE signals effectively occupy the same frequency band
as CATV service. The S7200’s time-domain EVS function allows users to check LTE interference without
interrupting service.
The S7200 can perform TS (transport stream) analysis with the RF and ASI ports; simply record the output to a
SATA SSD or USB device for easy playback. In line with recent strides in optical LNB use, optical power meter
and optical receiver options are available. Other optional features include IPTV, WiFi analysis, and a GPS
dongle for key location measurements.
Each instrument comes with basic TV and spectrum measurement functions for particular standards, based
on the model. Optional functions may be enabled either at the time of purchase, or at a later date as your
test needs evolve. See the following model and option guides.

1-5 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
The S7200 TV Signal Spectrum Analyzer, like other high-performance instruments, is susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which
may damage the S7200 input circuitry. S7200 operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage
and take all necessary precautions.
It is recommended to discharge the static by connecting a short or load device to the cable or antenna
before connecting them to the S7200. It is important to remember that the operator may also carry a static
charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a safe
environment for both personnel and equipment.
 When connecting a coaxial cable to the instrument for the first time that day, the center conductor
of the cable and the outer braided shielding layer should be quickly grounded.
 During service, ensure that the technician is grounded before removing inner components or pulling
out connecting cables.
 Ensure that the instrument is well grounded, so as not to store any static charges.
 Electrostatic protection of this instrument is up to standards of 6KV contact and 8KV air-gap.
1-6 BatteryCare
The S7200 can be supplied with power in two different ways: with the built-in battery or with the power
adapter provided.
1-6.1 Battery
The S7200 uses a 7.4V/13Ah lithium battery for autonomous operation. Battery life during continuous use (on
a full charge) is estimated at more than 8 hours. When the voltage falls below 6.9V, the instrument will
display an alert indicating low charge. At 6.7V or less, it will display a second alert and the battery icon will
flicker. At 6.2V or less, following a third alert, the instrument will emit a long audible beep and shut down
automatically. Further use requires that the unit be connected to an external AC or DC power source,
which will also charge the battery. If the unit stays off, it will take about 4 hours to fully recharge. Charging
time will be longer if the unit is in use.
NOTE: Use only Deviser Instruments-approved batteries, adapters, and chargers provided with this
instrument.
WARNING: Low temperatures may cause a temporary reduction of the battery capacity. This will not
damage the battery. High temperatures, however, may cause permanent damage to the battery. See
stated specifications for environmental tolerances. Recommended charging temperature is 10~35°C.
NOTE: It is advisable to replace the battery when operational time falls below 50% of original capacity.

Part I: S7200 Basics
2-5 Control Overview
The S7200 employs a 7”, 800x480 backlit color display that is configured for ease of use and navigation. You
can easily and quickly change measurement functions using the hotkeys located on the right side of the
screen, above the arrow keys. Each measurement application has its own layout and structure. In Part II:
Settings and Measurements, we discuss each application’s display and controls in detail.
In all applications, submenus will appear along the righthand side of the screen (marked with a “>”). You
can expand a submenu to view the individual settings and tools within by tapping it with your finger or a
stylus pen.
2-5.1 Selection Types
 Inside brackets , e.g. [DATA]: Using your finger or a stylus pen, tap the submenu key repeatedly to
cycle through a list of available settings.
 Alphanumeric entry , e.g. choosing a filename: tap a text entry field to bring up the touchscreen
keyboard (shown below). Touch the keys to type out an entry, then press the Enter key in the bottom-
right to confirm.
 Toggling between 2 settings , e.g. either Auto or Manual but never both: Tap to choose. The setting is
ON when highlighted in orange, and OFF when blue.
 When multiple settings are available for you to control: Tap the screen to select a parameter. You can
then begin editing the value.
Jump to specific measurement functions using the
Transport Stream, Spectrum, and Input/Output buttons
(below, top), or access system tools like file management and setup with the row of hardkeys located
along the bottom edge of the display (below, bottom).
Function-specific menu structures and controls will be discussed later in this guide.
