1. Introduction
The TSW500CATV is an equipment for measurements of signals cable TV quickly
and efficiently. It gets information on the channels of the carriers and has a spectral scan
mode; it detects the presence of interference beats as well as the amplitude of the
carrier. The equipment allows the power measurement of QAM signals, constellation
diagram, measurements of pre and post BER and MER and a voltmeter. The
TSW500CATV has a plastic shield that makes it resistant to impact; it is lightweight and
has a simple and practical keyboard that makes possible the operation with only one hand.

2.2 Battery
The TSW500CATV is powered by Li-ion batteries. It is important to remember that
even with the appliance turned off the battery will suffer discharge (up to 30% per month)
and it is recommended to recharge the equipment at least once a month.
When the TSW500CATV internal battery need to recharging, the equipment should
be connected to provided power supply (input: 90 to 240 VAC/60 Hz) by means of the
input connector, located on the side of it.
During battery charge, the user may monitor to see if it is fully charged by checking
the status of the "IN CHARGE" LED at the front panel display. If the LED is red; means
that the battery is currently being charged. If the LED turns green; means that the battery
has achieved its maximum charge capacity. The TSW500CATV, then, remains powered
by the loader so that after disconnection or power failure, the batteries will be with full
load. Charge time from the battery fully discharged is 4 hours, and it lasts about 6 hours
of continuous use.
If the battery is not charged up to its maximum capacity, the TSW500CATV operating
time will be reduced.
To avoid power line interferences that may alter the test results, it is wise to avoid
connecting or disconnecting the TSW500CATV battery charger whenever a test is in
progress.
The TSW500CATV has a battery manager that reports on the load situation shown in
the upper right corner of each screen.
Note: The TSW500CATV must only be charged with the provided power supply.
Otherwise, Wise cannot be held responsible for unit damage and diminished battery life.
