Televes H30FLEX Spectrum Analyzer
Your essential tool for satellite and terrestrial TV signal installation and maintenance.
Product Overview
The H30FLEX meter is a light-weight, handheld device designed to meet the rigorous requirements of TV installers for both satellite and terrestrial signals. It offers comprehensive functionality for installing and maintaining TV systems across various modulation standards, including satellite (DVB-S/S2) and terrestrial/cable (analogue channels, DVB-T/T2, DVB-C).
This economically priced product features advanced digital processing, providing installers with high-accuracy measurements for peace of mind. The H30FLEX allows for customizable upgrades via download software, enabling users to choose and pay only for the features they need.
Key Features & Functionalities
Multi-Standard Support
The H30FLEX supports a wide range of standards, including DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, DVB-C, and analogue channels. It is designed to measure signals across different frequency ranges, from satellite bands (250-2400 MHz) to terrestrial bands (50-880 MHz).
User-Friendly Interface
The device boasts a user-friendly, single-level menu structure that makes navigating its functions intuitive and efficient. Operation requires minimal button presses, ensuring high productivity and ease of use, even without a user manual.
Pass/Fail Indicators
Reduce installation errors with on-screen Pass/Fail indicators. This graphical tool aids in quick interpretation of measurement results, with customizable thresholds for different network areas (e.g., headend, amplifiers, user home).
Channel Information
Get essential channel details at a glance. The H30FLEX automatically detects channel type and displays audio/video levels, A/V and C/N for analogue signals, and power, C/N, and quality measures for digital signals. All measurements are taken with a single button press.
System Scan
Monitor installations by scanning analogue and digital channels in real-time. This function determines the overall system frequency response, using color-coded bars (green, yellow, red) to indicate whether signal levels meet specifications. It also displays BER and MER values.
Spectrum Analyzer
The H30FLEX spectrum analyzer offers a wide value range (5 MHz to "full span") with auto-adjust reference levels. Its real-time processing captures signal incidents with high accuracy and detail, making it ideal for identifying noise, interference, and radiation affecting signal quality.
Constellation Diagram
Essential for digital signal quality assessment, constellation diagrams help detect noise, jitter, interference, and saturation. Visual inspection of the dot patterns allows technicians to easily identify signal problems.
Capture Plan
Build custom channel plans by identifying desired channels using the ultra-fast Capture Plan function. Channels are displayed on a bar chart color-coded by quality threshold.
MPEG Analysis
Gain insights into digital channel content with the MPEG function. It displays key parameters like Service Name, PID, resolution, audio types, and NIT, aiding in troubleshooting encoder configurations.
Echo Analysis
Crucial for terrestrial signal reception, echo analysis helps control and minimize signal echoes that could jeopardize reception. The H30FLEX displays echoes, allowing for optimal signal reception.
Datalogs
Save and download sample signal parameters for in-depth analysis, record-keeping, or reporting. This feature is also useful for training purposes.
100% Automatic Signal Detection (QAM AUTO LOCK)
Fully automatic detection of modulation parameters for both analogue and digital signals without manual configuration. It instantly determines constellation, symbol rate, and other parameters.
Rugged and Light-Weight Design
Constructed with double-injection rubber and polycarbonate plastic for durability and protection. Weighing approximately 1lb (453g), it is convenient to carry and use, fitting easily in a pocket or using its shoulder strap.
Optional Analog Audio/Video (Camera Display)
An optional software feature and USB video capture converter allow for displaying and monitoring analog surveillance cameras. It supports NTSC and PAL video formats, useful for verifying system functionality.
