Features

Multi Standard

Fully configurable equipment to meet your needs H30FLEX is fully prepared to meet the specific needs of each
individual user. It is a multi-standard equipment, ready to take measurements on the satellite band, but also on the terrestrial band channels. In order to meet the changing needs of individual users, the equipment allows them to easily add new options, with no need to send the meter back to the factory.

Ready to Capture

signal from any satellite H30FLEX allows you to configure the parameters required for the reception of your satellite signal. To do this, H30FLEX allows preamplifier powering, and configuration of both DiSEqC and SCR parameters.

Interactive User Interface

Optimize the learning curve Scrolling through the menu is now very easy, thanks to its single-level structure, which includes all the functions in a very intuitive way: better utility, higher operation speed, and maximum productivity. No function requires more than three successive button pushes to achieve the desired operation. You will not find any easier-to-use device, and will be able to surf the different functions with no need for a user manual.

Comprehensive Functionality?

Pass/Fail indicators A full range of functionalities such as Single-channel measurements, Constellation diagram, Spectrum analyzer, Service identification, Data logs, Channel plan auto-learning, and more

Accuracy and Speed

Real-time digital processing Designed to instantly obtain all the information about the signal in real time, it is a true milestone in field work. H30FLEX provides the required accuracy and speed to detect minor transient radiation, or spurious signals that could affect the system during signal reception.

100% Automatic

Signal detection Fully automatic, it detects the parameters of different modulations with no need for configuration. H30FLEX will detect at once whether the input signal is analogue or digital, and will determine its constellation, symbol rate and other modulation parameters, providing an instant reading without any user intervention

Rugged and Light-Weigh

Absolute reliability Its exclusive casing made of double-injection rubber and polycarbonate plastic guarantees protection and durability. Weighing only one pound, H30FLEX is convenient to carry and use. You can slip it in your pocket or use its strap around your shoulder… You will barely notice it is there

Made in Televes

Your Quality Warranty The H30FLEX is entirely designed by Gerstel, company within Telexes Corporation, where our team of experienced and highly qualified telecommunication engineers managed to integrate digital processing in a handheld unit of 1lb of weight. Each H30FLEXincludes more than 5,000 components and integrated circuits.

Functionalities

Pass/Fail Indicators

Easy decision-making Reduce installation mistakes with the on-screen Pass/Fail indicators, a graphical tool that helps and speeds up the interpretation of measurement results. Different thresholds are available depending on the network area to be analyzed: headend, multi-band amplifiers, bridging connection, connection records, user home, etc. Besides the pre-set values, you will be able to customize your own threshold values.

Channel Information

The less the better Sometimes, taking a quick glance at one channel is all you need. The advanced H30FLEX single-channel measurement option automatically detects the channel type, displaying the audio and video levels, A/V and C/N for analogue signals, and power, C/N, and appropriate quality measures for each type of digital signal. All these  measures are taken by means of one single button; at that point, all indicators will be activated and display the “Pass/Fail” condition based on the thresholds specified by the user. Easy-to- interpret results, even for junior technicians.

System Scan

Monitored installation Scan each existing analogue and digital channel in real time to determine the overall system frequency response. This function leverages the location-based thresholds to clearly show whether the signal levels meet the cable systems’ specifications with green, yellow and red bars. This feature provides an easy-to-understand, real-time view of the system, including the BER and MER values of the selected channel.

Spectrum Analyser

From 5MHz to “full span“ H30FLEX spectrum analyzer provides a value range of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 MHz and Full, as well as a reference level auto- adjust feature. Real-time processing speeds ensure the capture of any signal incidents. You will be surprised by the accuracy and the level of detail provided by this ultra-portable pocket spectrum analyzer. The  ultimate tool for identifying and localizing noise, interference, radiation, and any other signals that may be affecting the quality of the television signal distribution service.

Constellation Diagram
Fine-tune your digitals Constellation analysis is essential for determining the quality of digital signals. Constellation diagrams help detecting noise, jitter, interference and signal saturation, and all the variables that could impact signal quality, eventually leading to service suspension. By visually inspecting the size and shape of the dots in the constellation matrix, the technician will be able to easily identify the nature of the problem

Capture Plan

Custom channel plans Identify the channels in your distribution with the ultra-fast Capture Plan function, and from there build your own channel plan containing only the channels you are interested in. Furthermore, each channel will be displayed on a bar chart with the appropriate color based on the selected quality threshold.

MPEG

MPEG video and detailed information Do you wish to know the contents offered on a DIGITAL channel? H30FLEX function MPEG will tell you. In addition to channel services display, you will get their key parameters: Service name, PID, resolution, audio types and figures, and NIT. A valuable help when troubleshooting your encoder configuration.

Echo

Optimal signal reception In terms of terrestrial signal reception, controlling the absence of any echoes that could jeopardize reception is crucial. H30FLEX displays the echoes of the received signal, allowing the installer to minimize them for optimal signal reception.

Data logs

Save and download While you are taking measurements or looking for possible problems, you can save sample signal parameters for further in-depth analysis or just for record and use in your reports. It can also prove to be a useful tool for training purposes.

*Analog Audio/Video ()
*
Camera display Installations of video surveillance systems are increasing. To display and monitor surveillance analog cameras, H30FLEX meters add a new software option and an USB video capture converter with Audio, Video and CVBS input connectors. H30FLEX displays NTSC and PAL video formats. The best option to verify the right functioning of the system.
