KAELUS iPA-1900A PIM Analyzer Portable Passive Intermodulation Tester 1900MHz

Description: Up for sale is 1 Kaelus Portable Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Analyzer PN: iPA-1900A (Picture shows actual item) This sale includes the analyzer along with the transit case. In good cosmetic condition with normal signs of use. More importantly, it works perfectly! Requires a battery to operate. Please note that the smart charger and handles are not included. Description by Manufacture: The iPA is designed to carry out reverse Passive Intermodulation (PIM) measurements in accordance with IEC62037. PIM occurs in passive devices whenever two or more RF signals encounter non-linear electrical junctions or materials. The interference generated is mathematically related to the localized downlink frequencies and can result in a noise rise in the uplink band of one or more systems sharing the RF infrastructure. The impact of PIM on the network performance can be severe, especially for wideband systems such as CDMA, UMTS or LTE. PIM interference can lead to desensitization of the receiver causing increased dropped calls, increased access failures, pre-mature hand-offs, decreased data transmission rates and decreased system coverage and capacity. Any component in the RF path can be the source of the PIM interference including antennas, TMAs, diplexers, duplexers, surge arrestors, cables and connectors. In addition, loose mechanical connections or rusty surfaces external to the antenna system can generate PIM when subjected to high radiated RF power. Two synthesized carriers can be set to specific frequencies in the transmit band. With the RF output switched on, these tones will be present at the test port and stabilized to the predefined output level. The resulting 3rd and 5th order intermodulation product is automatically calculated and the receiver is tuned to the required product. The detected voltage is processed by a microcontroller and the relevant reading shown on the display unit. W A R N I N G – ELECTRICAL HAZARD This unit is powered by a 25.9V Li-ion battery pack. The unit is routinely charged with a supplied smart charger. This charger is supplied with a protective ground lead for AC supply safety reasons. To maintain this level of protection, the supply lead must always be connected to the supply via a socket with an earth contact. W A R N I N G – HEAVY INSTRUMENT The packed weight of the instrument exceeds the 18kg (40lb) guideline for manual handling by a single person (it weighs < 22.7kg/50lbs). W A R N I N G – RF HAZARD This series of instrument is capable of producing up to 50 Watts of radio frequency (RF) power in the 700 MHz to 2600 MHz frequency band. Users are reminded that proper precautions must be taken to minimize exposure to these RF fields to the recommended limits. Please pay particular care to the following areas:  Switch off the RF power from the test equipment before removing or connecting the cables to the test port. Burns to fingers and permanent damage to eyes can result from exposure to connectors carrying high levels of RF power  Ensure that any antennas being tested are placed so that no personnel are exposed to RF field levels in excess of the maximum exposure limits. Also, the unit should be operated by a suitably qualified operator in order to ensure interference is not caused to other spectrum users. Radiation through an antenna requires authorization by the frequency license holder to do so.
