Option 2 Forward Sweep Transmitter for SDA-5000 SDA-OPT2

• Loopback Sweep (OPT2): The full sweep local Loopback test enables you to perform a rough frequency response, gain, and loss test on active and passive devices in the field using a single meter. Contact us before purchase. (754)368-6180 support@avcsonline.com

Reverse Sweep Alignment Reverse sweep alignment provides an optimum view of the frequency response in the unoccupied reverse spectrum, leaving nothing to chance. A reverse sweep can uncover mismatch problems that reveal themselves as standing waves or as diplex filter roll-offs that can severely hamper the carriage of services in the reverse band. Sweep Sweep is the most complete way to measure the frequency response of your cable network. SDA products offers a complete set of sweep tools to maximize your productivity. Forward and reverse sweep can be used to troubleshoot problems in either signal path. Reverse amplifier alignment is designed to quickly provide you with the necessary information for setting up a reverse amplifier, and Sweepless Sweep can be used to gather sweep information even when there is no sweep transmitter available. • Stealth forward sweep: Forward sweep uses a headend transmitter to measure carrier levels and, when necessary, to inject short sweep pulses. When stable carriers are present, they can be referenced to create a sweep response without injecting any sweep pulses. This guarantees that no subscriber interference will result from your sweep testing. • SDA sweep: SDA sweep operates identically to Stealth sweep, but it is much faster! It is also critical to note that, for SDA sweep to work, you must be using SDA equipment both in the headend and in the field. • Stealth reverse sweep (OPT1): Reverse sweep uses sweep carriers from a field unit that are sent back to the headend transmitter and measured to calculate return path frequency response. Stealth offers a high level of flexibility in setting frequencies and levels to give you the maximum flexibility in sweeping a return path network without creating any service interruptions. • Aligning reverse amplifiers (OPT1): This alignment mode is tailored to set the gain and tilt of reverse amplifier units. Using the SDA-5500 or SDA-5510 headend sweep transmitter, this screen shows the absolute signal levels at two selected frequencies and calculates the gain and tilt of a return path system. All the information a technician needs to set up a reverse amplifier or node is displayed in one location. • Sweepless Sweep: Sweepless Sweep allows you to get sweep information even if no transmitter is available. If a transmitter is down, or if something is blocking the telemetry channel, Sweepless Sweep can still be used. In Sweepless Sweep, the SDA field unit measures the stable carrier levels, memorizes them, and establishes a reference. These levels can then be compared with the levels of the same carriers at a different point in the network, and the differences in frequency response can be highlighted. • Loopback Sweep (OPT2): The full sweep local Loopback test enables you to perform a rough frequency response, gain, and loss test on active and passive devices in the field using a single meter.
