General
Delivery volume
For attention!
This one is designed for a
maximum diameter of 1.1 mm of the inner conductor.
This processor controlled level measuring instrument from the SPM 22 series is because of it`s
small size and measuring accuracy an ideal tool for troubleshooting and level checking in single
and communal aerial systems, CATV networks as well as SAT systems. It has been extended with
the menus DVB-T, WLAN according the technical progress.
The spectrum display allows the assessment of the slope of amplifiers and serves for the display of
disturbing carriers, also in the return path range of CATV networks. This instrument has been
designed for the practical man to measure RF signals. By an automatic self calibration of this
instrument the measured values are nearly temperature independent.

Used for quick overview of an existing frequency spectrum. It enables the selection
of three ranges: channels in the CATV range, frequencies in an extended CATV
range and frequencies in the SAT range. The highest measured level is displayed at
channel/frequency (at digital signals are to add the following correction values: +8
dB at QAM, COFDM and +13 dB at QPSK). Now it can by repeatedly zooming the
displayed channel or frequency range further be analyzed.
This measuring range is suitable for a quick check, e. g. at the system outlets as ell as
especially for evaluation and adjustment of slopes. Here the levels are measured of
every three channels / frequencies / »D« channels, which are placed on one of the
storage places. Digital frequencies must be stored at this as »D« channel; otherwise
there is no automatic level correction! During the subsequent menu »SCAN« is
usually carried out a channel scan. Should be programmed on a channel to be
measured a frequency or a digital channel, it will then performed a frequency scan.
This measuring range is suitable for fast measurements in CATV systems. In this
case can go on switched in the channel raster inclusive return path and fm radio.
Digital channels are automatically detected and the precise level value is
displayed.
Special feature from V 41.83:
If the SPM 22…detect on S2/S3 digital signals, they are considered as 8 MHz
channels. (S2: 109–117 MHz; S3: 117–125 MHz)
This range is designed for the service of SAT receiving systems. The receiving
spectrum can be displayed in several resolutions. At digital QPSK-signals are to add
+13 dB to the measured level value. ATTENTION! For the control and power supply
of LNB is the additional accumulator AU-SPM necessary. This one must be ordered
separately as accessories.

The number »+70« specify in this case the threshold value in dBµV. At field strength measurement
this value is »+25« in dBµV/m. These values are considered in the instrument.
At the searching of spurious radiation with the SPM 22 KF with tone and LED the LED begins to
light green from 40 dBµV resp. 15 dBµV/m. It is to hear a constant tone, which is growing higher if
the level rises. After reaching of the threshold value is to hear an intermittent tone. The LED flashes
in this case red. That means, that the limit value is reached or already for a short time exceeded. If
the LED lights red continuously, the limit value has been exceeded.

This is also a special frequency range (2.4–2.5 GHz). For measurements are to use
the pre-plug amplifier VUW 2,45 and a special antenna. These ones are to order
separately as accessories.
In all displayed level values are usually the corresponding correction values

the voltage on the measuring socket serves exclusive at »DC-ON« for the supply of
