at the places which are inapplicable for the use of electrics such as hospital, gas station etc.
◆To prevent the functional decline or failure, the product should not be sprinkled or damped.
◆The exposed part of the tester should not be touched by the dust and liquid.
◆During transportation and use, it is highly recommended to avoid the violent collision and vibration
of the tester, lest damaging components and causing failure.
◆Don’t leave the tester alone while charging and recharging. If the battery is found severely hot, the
tester should be powered off from the electric source at once. The tester should not be charged over 8
hours.
◆Don’t use the tester where the humidity is high. Once the tester is damp, power off immediately and
move away other connected cables.
◆The tester should not be used in the environment with the flammable gas.
◆Do not disassemble the instrument since no component inside can be repaired by the user. If the
disassembly is necessary indeed, please contact with the technician of our company.
◆The instrument should not be used under the environment with strong electromagnetic interference.
◆Don’t touch the tester with wet hands or waterish things.
◆Don’t use the detergent to clean and the dry cloth is suggested to use. If the dirt is not easy to
remove, the soft cloth with water or neutral detergent can be used. But the cloth should be tweaked
sufficiently.
About Digital Multi-meter
◆Before using, you must select the right input jack, function and range.
◆Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in specifications for each range of measurement.
◆When the tester is linked to a measurement circuit, do not touch unused terminals.
◆Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the terminals exceeds 660V above earth ground.
◆At the manual range, when the value scale to be measured is unknown beforehand, set the range
selector at the highest position.
◆Always be careful when working with voltages above 60V DC or 40V AC, keep fingers behind the
probe barriers while measuring.

intuitively and easily to display the camera image quality. Support PAL/NTSC format.LCD screen
backlight brightness adjustable, and analog video image brightness/contrast/color Saturation adjustable.
2.3.7 Video level meter*(optional)
The IP camera tester has adopted hardware high-speed sampling and processing technology, enables it
to achieve more accurate measurements in the video signal PEAK, SYNC level,
COLOR BURST chroma level
Video signal PEAK level: For PAL format , the video signal level is 1000±200mV
For NTSC format, the video signal level is 140±15IRE
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to dim and reduce dynamic range, but if the level is
too high, it will lead to virtual shadow and reduce the definition of the image.
SYNC level: by testing the amplitude of the video sync pulse to verify if the video level is correct and
the coaxial cable connectivity is good.
For PAL format, the SYNC level is 280 ± 35mV
For NTSC format, the SYNC level is 40 ± 5IRE
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to fracture or scroll, but if the level is too high, it will lead
to reduce the image’s color levels and dynamic range.
COLOR BURST chroma level: by testing the color burst level to estimate whether the coaxial cable is
the best to transmit the details and color.
For PAL format, the Chroma standard level is 280mV

page
7
For NTSC format, the Chroma standard level is 40 IRE
If the Chroma level is low or too low, the color will not bright, and some details on the iamge will lost
or get dark or white when the monitor receives the iamge.
If the Chroma level is too high, there will be spots on the image. If this occurs, it cannot get the clear
image with all the details.
If the coaxial cable is too long, it will reduce the chroma level
2.3.8 PTZ controller

2.3.13 Enhanced Color bar generator
The tester sends out the color bar by its BNC output to the monitor at the monitoring center. If the
monitor receive the color bar, it means the video transmit channel works normally. Meanwhile on the
basis of the received color bar, the monitoring center can judge if transmission has loss or interference.
The tester can also send out the color bar by its BNC output, then receive and display the color bar by
its BNC input to test on-site video transmission, such as video optical transmitter and receiver, video
cables.
