4.0 Key layout

To explain how to use SPECTRAN, we will perform measurement of a cell

tower. Doing this, you will get to know the 3 different operation modes of

SPECTRAN, including the important HOLD function and the “panning

approach”: It is really very simple, just follow these instructions step by

step:

Prepare SPECTRAN for operation as follows:

Remove the protective film from the display. Now

connect the triangular HyperLOG-antenna with the

SPECTRAN, using the included 1m SMA cable

(more details on page 38). Should you not yet have

charged the internal battery, you can also operate

SPECTRAN with the included power supply (further

information on page 41).

Now press the On/Off button found at the bottom-left of the device.

SPECTRAN is now powered on and starts a short calibration procedure. To be

able to orient yourself better in the following steps, the most important parts of

the SPECTRAN display are briefly explained here:

5.0 Your first measurement / Modes

BARGRAPH (trend display)

Depending on signal strength, the half-circle will grow or shrink. Avery

handy function for quickly changing levels!

On all SPECTRAN models with broadband detector the bargraph dis-

play will ALLWAYS show the broadband-power even in spectrum mode.

INFO display

Shows the selected preset (frequency range). Using the keys 0-9, furt-

her presets (DECT, UMTS, etc.) are available.

MAIN display

Displays the level (signal strength) of the strongest signal in dBm.

MARKER block (1 to 3)

Show frequency and signal strength of the strongest signals. Up to 3

markers can be displayed simultaneously.

GRAPHICS display (here: spectrum display)

This highly flexible display field allows display of a great variety of

information, both textual and graphical (spectrum, exposure limits,

menu text, etc.)

DISPLAY-MODE status field

Shows the current operation mode of the SPECTRAN. Possible

modes: SPECTRUM (spectrum analysis), EXPOS.-LIMITS (exposure

limit calculation), AM/FM (audio output) and RF (BB Detector mode).

MODE status field (PEAK & HOLD)

Shows the currently active mode. Possible modes: PEAK (PULSE

mode) and HOLD (Advanced HOLD mode).

Test Equipment Depot - 800.517.8431 - 99 Washington Street Melrose, MA 02176

TestEquipmentDepot.com

The SPECTRAN devices offer 4 different OPERATION MODES:

- SPECTRUM analysis

- EXPOSURE LIMIT calculation

-AUDIO output

- Broadband PEAK-Detector (Powermeter) (Option. Only 2025E Rev3 up)

You can change the operation mode at any time using the Enter-key.

5.1 Operation mode Spectrum analysis:

(The DISPLAYMODE status field shows “SPECTRUM”)

Now press the Enter key until the Display Mode sta-

tus field reads “SPECTRUM”. Should you have “good

reception” and a properly aligned antenna (this is impor-

tant!), you should now have results similar to those shown

in the image on the left. However, should the big Main

display show “----” or “-120”, no signal is being received

and you need to change your location or align the anten-

na differently. During every measurement, a little dot

moves from left to right in the Graphics display. Only

when this dot reaches the right border, the current

measurement is finished and all readings are updated.

The Main display always shows the level of the strongest signal, “-45” in our

example. The bigger this figure is (the closer it gets to “0” or a positive value),

the stronger the received signal (for example: “-35” is much stronger signal

than “-45” shown in our example).
