MODEL 2 Signal Level Meter

Click here for complete specs for the Model 2

Building on the success of the Trilithic Model One, the Model Two Signal Level Meter introduces many new features and enhancements. These include expanded FCC level testing, one-button programmable test sequences, a 50% increase in battery life (with fast charging), enlarged LCD screen and many others. 

Performance Enhancements
More Learned Channel Plans
The Model Two can retain up to five user-defined channel plans. This is a convenience for contractors who work in several systems with differing channel lineups. Plans can be automatically learned (from 8 base plans) at a cable drop or downloaded from PC files using Trilithic ToolBox Software. The operator can select key channels in each User Plan to be included in a Favorite Channel Plan. A separate User Plan can be configured for each User Plan. 
 
 
Automated FCC Proof of Performance Test, with Data Evaluation
At the press of a key, the Model Two performs all Part 76 level-related tests including: 

• Visual Carrier levels 

• Relative Visual / Aural Carrier levels 

• Difference between Maximum and Minimum 

• Visual Carrier Levels 

• Difference between adjacent Video Carrier levels 

 Measurements can be executed immediately or programmed to occur at timed intervals, unattended, as an FCC 24 Hour Variation Test. At completion of a test, the Model Two can be programmed to score the results against FCC limits, or limits set by the user. 

Expanded, Flexible Data Storage
Level, Tilt, Spectrum, Scan, and Limit Test measurement Files may be saved. Auto Test files are saved automatically. Any combination of up to 35 Level, Tilt, Spectrum or Scans, for up to 25 Limit Test measurement Files may be saved. 

User Defined Testing Programs
A great convenience for the operator, the Model Two's program capability allows groups of tests to be assembled into automatic procedures that can be executed with one keystroke. Several programs can be stored in the Model Two and called up when needed. These may include Level, Tilt, Spectrum, and Limit Tests. Limit Test data may be automatically scored against specified limits and assembled into reports. 

Extended Battery Life, Fast Charging
The Model Two battery provides 6 hours or more of continuous use between charges. One hour of fast-charging from AC or vehicle power provides nearly 3 hours of extended operation. 

Larger LCD Display
The Model Two display has been enlarged and new screen graphics enhance readability and simplify operation. 

Wider Channel Scans
The Model Two can display up to 126 channels in a single view. A total of 150 Channels can be displayed in two over lapping views. 

The settings for the currently-active measurement mode can be accessed at the press of a single key without going through nested menus. This allows the operator to quickly make changes in the settings and return to measurement mode with no wasted time. 

New LEVEL Measurement Features
As an aid to troubleshooting, the operator can now choose LIVE, MAX or P-P (variation) signal level displays. LEVEL Mode now measures both aural carriers on channels equipped for Dual Audio Programming. 

New SPECTRUM Measurement Features
A MARKER function is now included in Spectrum and Single-Channel Spectrum modes. MAX HOLD captures transient events.
