Signal Level Meters

MS-1000, MS-1200D, MS-1300D, MS-1400

Key Features

System bandwidth expansion and digital service deployment have placed greater

demands on CATV installers. Today’s installers require a Signal Level Meter

(SLM) that combines advanced measurement capability with the ruggedness

needed for everyday field use. The family of JDSU Signal Level Meters offers

comprehensive, reliable measurement performance to meet the needs of installers

deploying services at every phase of the network cycle.

JDSU Signal Level Meters are designed to help installers perform their work

effectively, faster, and more easily, to improve productivity and reduce costs. The

same easy-to-use, icon-based interface for all instruments in the family,

minimizes training requirements and downtime. All instruments are light,

portable, durable and water-resistant. They are designed to meet the tough

requirements of field use and like all JDSU instruments, they are built to last and

to deliver sustained value.

• Easy-to-use, icon-based interface for all instruments and

multilingual firmware options available

• Efficient and automated testing, plus convenient proof-of-

performance compliance testing with results viewable

immediately on-screen or tests scheduled over time for

printing later

• Fast, easy location of forward and reverse ingress and

interference with an advanced ingress spectrum scan

• Complete digital measurement solution for DTV and cable

modem signals including digiCheck™ average power

measurement with auto limit check

• Extended battery life of the MS-1400 – approximately five

hours, and faster charging times improve productivity

SIGNAL LEVEL METERS 2 The MS-1000 is ideal for installers responsible for activating broadcast CATV service. The six-channel scan and installation check provide the essential capability to ensure highquality CATV installation. Additional standard features such as the reverse ingress scan of the MS-1300D, and customizable channel plans for the MS-1200D make JDSU Signal Level Meters the best priced performance field meters currently on the market.

SIGNAL LEVEL METERS 3 The results are displayed in a list indicating which parameters are out of tolerance. If all levels are within limits, a ✓ will show in the far right column. If any parameter is out of tolerance an X will be shown Pressing the cycle soft key provides more detail by bringing up a list of all channels.

SIGNAL LEVEL METERS 4 Tilt mode AutoTest Tilt measurement is a fast and effective method to balance line extenders and in-home amplifiers. To certify that the network termination and home network are within the specifications, or for proof-ofperformance compliance data, an AutoTest can be performed. Tests can be executed immediately or scheduled over a period of time. When configuring an AutoTest, information about the location at which the test is being performed can be recorded.

SIGNAL LEVEL METERS 5 Ingress scan The innovative Ingress Scan mode finds forward (MS-1400) and reverse ingress (MS-1400 and MS-1300D) problems from the tap to the drop. Start/stop frequencies, resolution, and dwell-time are programmable in the setup menu. The operator can also set a limit threshold for simple identification of problem drops. To check for intermittent ingress, the meter can be adjusted to the Peak Hold mode to capture transient signals.

SIGNAL LEVEL METERS 6 Digital and analog limits StealthWare™ software Upgradeable to leakage meter Cable networks have analog and digital carriers. The levels of analog and digital signal measurements differ according to standards and regulations. Digital signals are typically 6-14 dB below analog signals. Users can enter minimum and maximum digital channel level limits separately from analog limits in the MS-1400 only. Analog limits are available in the MS-1200D and MS1300D.
