cable pin configure). Also be sure that the Baud rate is identical on both
pieces of equipment.
NOTE: The headend unit’s channel plan does not have to
be downloaded to the Stealth field unit to achieve sweep.
Only the telemetry has to be the same. The channel plan
affects the other measurement modes.
NOTE: If a channel plan is made on the SDA field meter
and copied to the Tx, the Tx will freeze up and must be
shut off to reset. Only copy channel plans from field unit to
field unit or Tx to field unit.
On the receiver, select (Configure; Channel Plan; Copy Remote Plan) and
enter the forward plan for the system you are working on. The Tx then
downloads the plan you have built, but "sweep points" don’t show up in the
hand-held channel plan.
On the receiver, select (Configure; Sweep Receiver) and set the forward
sweep telemetry frequency to be the same as the Tx. Set for "Stealth" sweep
mode instead of "Sweepless".
Field Unit Settings
Select (Configure; Measurement) and insert all the required information
(Temperature Units, Signal Level Units, Fundamental Hum Frequency, Scan
Rate, etc.).
NOTE: Select “func” and “7” to enter the Test Point
compensation. There is a toggle button to select forward or
reverse Test Point compensation.
Before You Leave the Headend
Be sure the Tx is in the sweep mode.
When at the headend, ensure that your forward tilt channels are working
correctly by pressing the “Tilt” key. Then check the sweep. The sweep
direction can be changed on the receiver by using the left and right diamond
keys or selecting the following sequence: (Configure; Sweep Receiver;
Sweep Direction).
