Features
- Multiscreen and remote control
Controllable from any Android or iOS device or a PC with H30Suite
The H30+ multiscreen system allows you to display the meter screen on your
smartphone or tablet to wirelessly control the meter or just for the sake of
working with a larger screen.
The installer may wirelessly access the equipment at any time from anywhere in
the installation (depending on the local network connection range), with the
convenience of always using his/her own device.
Simply install the H30Suite App (ref. 100016) on your device and connect it to
the Wi-Fi network generated by the meter (AP mode).
- Wireless connectivity
Wireless access to the meter
Equipped with Wireless connectivity, the equipment allows secure access through an Android or iOS device, or a PC. The web management application H30Suite (ref. 100016) may be used to check and export stored measurements, access to quality pro?les, meter settings cloning, meter registration through a friendlier interface or real-time consultation of the user manual.
- Rugged and Light Weight
Total reliability
A unique dual injected rubber and polycarbonate plastic housing ensures the best protection and durability. Weighing only one pound, the H30+ is comfortable to carry and use. You can put it in your pocket or hang it from its sturdy built-in grommets using the provided shoulder strap you will hardly know its there!
- Intuitive User Interface
Reducing the learning curve
Easy to use one-level menu structure with very intuitive functions for increased usability, faster operation and maximum productivity. No function requires more than three successive button pushes to achieve the desired operation. It doesn?t get any easier than this, you will fly through the functions without ever reading the user manual.
- Comprehensive Functionality
Pass/Fail indicators
A full range of functionalities such as Single-channel measurements, Constellation diagram, Spectrum analyser, Service identi?cation, 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 ?eld work. H30+ provides the required accuracy and speed to detect minor transient radiation, or spurious signals that could a?ect the system during signal reception.
100% Automatic
Signal detection
Fully automatic, it detects the parameters of different modulations with no need for conguration. H30+ 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.
Long Battery Life
Up to 4 hours on a full charge
High quality Li-Ion batteries, in conjunction with our advanced low power consumption technology, provide enough juice for even the largest jobs. One hour of fast charging will provide almost three hours of extended operation.
The H30+ is entirely designed by Gsertel, a company within Televes Corporation, where our team of experienced and highly quali?ed telecommunication engineers managed to integrate digital processing in a handheld unit of 1lb of weight. Each H30+ includes more than 5,000 components and integrated circuits.
LT Monitoring
Automatic monitoring of the desired channel
The H30+ Long Term Monitoring Function allows the automatic monitoring of the selected channel. Once the time interval between two consecutive measurements has been selected, the H30+ will automatically take all the measurements of the channel selected and store them in memory.
Channel Information
The less the better
Sometimes, taking a quick glance at one channel is all you need. The advanced H30+ 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 speci?ed by the user. Easy-to-interpret results, even for junior technicians.
Tilt Function
Always in balance
Get a quick view of your signal level differences over a speciffed frequency range, so you can apply attenuation or equalization to adjust them. Take the meter to your farthest extents and see at a glance what carriers’ power levels are out by their red, yellow, and green colors. Any number between 2-12 analog, digital or DOCSIS channels can be measured using the tilt measurement, and you can even select which carriers are your reference points to determine the tilt between any of the channels included in the measurement.
System Scan
With channel plan auto-learn
Learn which channels are present in your distribution with the ultra-fast learning plan feature. Then select any stored plan and scan every existing analog and digital channel in real time to determine the overall frequency response of the system. The scan measurement leverages the location based thresholds to clearly show whether or not signal levels comply with the cable system?s speci?cations by their green, yellow and red bar level indicators. This gives an easy-to-understand real-time view of the distribution, including the BER and MER values of the selected channel.
Voltmeter & Hum
Cover all your bases
Don’t want to worry about bringing a separate volt meter with you? No problem, the H30+ will do that too. The H30+ will also give you a Hum percentage to help you diagnose those ground and power interference problems that may result from a defective er supply or faulty/overloaded power inserters.
Reverse Path Ingress Scan
Maximum, average, peak
Help identify reverse path problems before your customers are affected. Poorly shielded coaxial cable and faulty terminations are important sources of ingress noise, which can easily add up in the return due to the large number of subscriber-generated signals that are sent back to the headend. The combined and amplified interference is often responsible for service disruption, so having a good reverse path ingress scan tool is always a must.
IP Speed Test
Double-check connectivity
Need a quick check of your data network at the headend or at a customer’s unit? The H30+s IP Speed Test allows you to check your basic network performance parameters, so you dont need to get your laptop out. This includes your upload and download speed, as well as your ping times and lost packets statistics.
Service Info
Study MPEG details
Do you want to know what program content is on that QAM channel?The H30+s Service Info feature will tell you. In addition to the short description of the service, you will get the important parameters including the NIT, PAT, and TSID for the channel, and for the individual service you will get the SID and the PID, encode type, resolution, and bitrate for both the audio and video, all of which greatly help when troubleshooting your encoder configuration.
*Wi-Fi Analyzer ()**
All bands (2.4 and 5 GHz)
This functionality allows a full analysis of the Wi-Fi band for the automatic
detection of all the networks. Each of them is identified by name, and the
power of the signal at the access point is also displayed. Two display modes
are provided for the user to choose. The list mode provides a list of the
detected networks with the associated data and power, while the map mode
represents them on a dual-axis map: power vs. frequency.
(*) Optional feature: Ref 593250.
*Services and IPTV Analyzer ()**
IPTV and RF services information
Allows the demodulation and analysis of IPTV streams (both Unicast and
Multicast), not only through video display but also by displaying the total
bitrate and bitrate for each service. The relevant information for each
service is already given: SID, VPID, AID, video profile, bit rate for both
audio and video.
In addition, this option completes the RF measurements since all this
information by service is analyzed as well for this type of signals. For IPTV
signals, specific protocol measurements (UDP/RTP) are also analyzed, such as
UDP format, Media Loss Rate, Lost IP frames.
(*) Optional feature: Ref. 593251.
*HEVC display on the meter ()**
and also on your mobile device
This functionality supports HEVC H.265 new compression format and allows the
display of video signals with a maximum Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080).
Information can be displayed both on the meter screen or on the mobile device
(multiscreen mode) as long as your hardware is H.265 compatible (usually a
smartphone, tablet or PC).
(*) Optional feature: Ref. 593252.
