should be regularly kept clean of dust to ensure proper air circulation.
Introduction
Description of the UPM 1400 unit
The TRIAX UPM 1400 unit is a COMPACT and ECONOMIC measuring device, combining the measurements of
satellite, cable and terrestrial signals. Its compact design and extensive functions make it a reliable aiding tool when
installing and pointing terrestrial and satellite antennas. The 5" colour display provides clear menu navigation. The
most important functions are arranged in the main menu and allow quick access. Important measurement results
can be saved as an image file on an external storage data medium connected via the USB port and thus helps the
creation of a document recording the measurement results
