1.4 IPS121 Power supply
Battery status icon is located in upper-right corner of main menu screen. Fully colored icon
corresponds to fully charged battery, uncolored crossed with line - discharged.
1.4.1 Battery charging
To charge internal battery, connect power supply. State of power switch has no effect on
charging.
Charging is indicated by constant glow of indicator «CHRG»(Pic. 1 Pos. 1) and animated battery
status icon . Full charge time is approximately 6 hours. When charging is finished indicator will stop
glowing and device will continue to maintain its charge level.

Selection in MENU is done by the ROTARY KNOB rotation, confirmation -
press ROTARY KNOB.
Exiting in previous submenu - press ROTARY KNOB and hold for no less
than 3 seconds.
If "SETTINGS" submenu is selected, you will see general device
settings.

Selection of the "Memorize data" in MENU allows saving current settings (shown on screen)
before turning device off –signal source, frequency, modulation, output power. If this option is selected
on the next startup, device will load in saved mode, bypassing the main MENU.
If submenu «HF/SHF 0.1-6 GHz» is selected in main MENU, you will
see the submenu (Pic. 3) which allows you to work with signals in 0.1-6 GHz
range outputted through "HF-SHF" socket intended for RF antenna.
Setting altering can be achieved using ROTARY KNOB with step selected
in "SETTING." submenu. Default value is 10 MHz.
If "Modulation OFF" is selected it will change carrier signal modulation
type: AM or FM as well as FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum), DSSS
(Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) and PULSE.
If AM or FM is selected, "Frequency"option will appear allowing selection of modulation signal
frequency (for AM and FM modulation). "Deviation" option will appear for FM allowing selection of
highest deviation for modulated signal frequency from value of its carrier frequency.
If FHSS is selected there will be 3 options available: "Frequency" –frequency of hopping,
"Band" - bandwidth of hopping, "Channel" - number of hopping channels.
If DSSS is selected, 1 option will be available: "Band" - allowing selection of signal's bandwidth.
If PULSE is selected, 2 options will be available: ''ON xx.xx s”- allowing selection of signal length
and "OFF xx.xx s" - interval between signals.
Output power can be selected in the last item. Power value is given in dBm and mW. Minimum
and maximum values are different for different frequencies.
If this item is highlighted, you can press and hold ROTARY KNOB for 2 second to toggle signal
generation ON or OFF.

If "GSM 3G DECT WF BT" submenu is selected in main MENU you will
see the submenu which allows work with signals imitating data transmission
standards: "GSM" - GSM900, "3G" - Third generation of mobile
telecommunications, "DECT" - Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications as
well as data transmission standards in 2.4GHz frequency range: "WF" - Wireless
local area network (Wi-Fi) and "BT" - Bluetooth. (Pic. 4)
It is possible to select a standard required to be imitated as well as
output power.
Carrier frequency, band of signal and time parameters of radio impulse
are imitated.
If "LF/MF.01-120kHz" submenu is selected in main MENU, you will see
the submenu which allows work with acoustic and ultrasound signals in 0.01-
120kHz frequency range outputted through "LF" socket. It also turns magnetic
field emitter on. Position of this emitter is marked on the front panel as: "MF". In
this case stray emission of radio-electronic devices is imitated (cell phones,
recorders etc.). (Pic. 5)
"LF" (TRS 3.5”) socket is an output for low frequency amplifier and
intended for speakers (Pic. 6) There are three options for carrier
frequency selection:
Random selection of frequency
Frequencies corresponding to the octave filter.
Frequencies corresponding to third octave filter.
With selection of item "Modulation OFF" it is possible to select
modulation of carrier signal: FM, AM or PWM.
If AM or FM is selected, "Frequency" option will appear allowing selection of modulation signal
frequency (for AM and FM modulation). "Deviation" option will appear for FM allowing selection of
highest deviation for modulated signal frequency from value of its carrier frequency
If PWM is selected two options will appear: "Frequency" allowing selection of frequency of
impulse and "Ratio" allowing selection of interval between impulses.
Power is changed in % of maximum power.
If "RJ-45 .01-20000kHz" submenu is selected in main MENU, you will
see the submenu which allows work with signals in 0.01-20000kHz range
outputted through "RJ-45" socket to "4-5" pair (Pic. 7). Pair "3-6" used as
device's “ground”which allows for asymmetrical connection to the line. Cable
"3/RJ-45" is used for such connection. Black wires are connected to the
“ground”and red to the "4-5" pair.
With selection of line "Modulation OFF" it is possible to select
modulation of carrier signal: FM, AM or PWM.
If AM or FM is selected "Frequency" option will appear allowing
selection of modulation signal frequency (for AM and FM modulation). "Deviation" option will appear for
FM allowing selection of highest deviation for modulated signal frequency from
value of its carrier frequency
If PWM is selected two options will appear: "Frequency" allowing selection of frequency of
impulse and "Ratio" allowing selection of interval between impulses.

allows work with signals in 30-20000kHz range outputted through "220V" socket to the power lines. This
allows to fully imitate data transmission channel in 220V lines.
With selection of line "Modulation OFF" it is possible to select modulation of carrier signal: FM,
AM or PWM.
If FM is selected "Frequency" option will appear allowing selection of modulation signal
frequency. "Deviation" option will appear for FM allowing selection of highest deviation for modulated

with IR emitter located on the front panel (Pic. 1 Pos. 7).
With selection of line "Modulation OFF" it is possible to select modulation of carrier signal: FM,
AM or PWM.
If AM or FM is selected "Frequency" option will appear allowing selection of modulation signal
frequency (for AM and FM modulation). "Deviation" option will appear for FM allowing selection of
highest deviation for modulated signal frequency from value of its carrier frequency
If PWM is selected two options will appear: "Frequency" allowing selection of frequency of
impulse and "Ratio" allowing selection of interval between impulses.
Power is changed in % of maximum power.
Nonlinear element
There are nonlinear elements connected to the contact pairs "1-2" and "7-8" of "RJ-45" socket in
order to imitate nonlinearity in the wireline (Pic. 7).
