2. Scope of delivery
The radio set , consisting of (transmitter) and
(receiver with display), is an optional accessory for the . It serves the measured
value transmission from the in a vehicle to service employees for finding RF-
leakages in a cable CATV network. The advantage for the technician is the immediate
indication of any change in the coaxial home distribution network as field strength
readings.

Furthermore, the radio transmission of the field strength measurements
made possible by disconnecting coaxial cable locating the distinctive line (exclusion
method).

The to be transferring data with the (radio set) always remain
switched on – even when parking the vehicle. Condition for the correct operation of the
is, that the measuring cycle in the is maximum 2 seconds. The best
setting for this is: » . No unnecessary measurements in the
can be stored while the vehicle is stopped.
Tip! The (receiver) can be used in the vehicle to determine the highest field
strength.

For safe operation, the throw antenna is as possible be positioned so that a line of
sight to the object to be measured (building) is given. The transmitter of the radio set
does not require further attention. As soon as the performs a measurement, the
data are automatically sent to the receiver.

After connecting the charging process starts automatically and displays an animation
on the display. About 20 seconds after the start of the charge the display backlight is
switched off. At a fully charged battery, the backlight turns on again and the five LEDs
are shining green.
If the input voltage is out of the allowable range, such as at use of inappropriate power
supplies, this will be shown on the display.

Each transmitter has its own signature to build a couple connection
between and . Thus, the operation of several AMS radio sets in
the surrounding area is possible.
To establish the connection, the must be taught once to the transmitter. It
is also possible to teach several receiver to an .
