The "Channel Tag"
The Trilithic CT-2 and CT-3 Channel Taggers are headend-mounted devices used as a system with Trilithic's Searcher Plus, Super Plus, Seeker Lite², Seeker and Seeker BB-2 leakage receivers to help identify leakage sources in overbuilt areas, to increase detection range and to increase immunity to interference. Used as a system with these leakage receivers, the CT-2 and CT-3 channel tag eliminates all "false alarm" triggers and increases leak detection sensitivity by four times over previous models.
When several CATV systems operate in the same area, it is often difficult to determine which system is the source of a detected leak. The CT-2 and CT-3 solve this problem by "tagging" the system video carrier, or the carrier provided by the CT-3, with low-frequency modulation. This modulation is ignored by TV sets, but causes a distinctive response in Trilithic's leakage receivers, and the Tricorder signal level meters when operated in leakage mode.
Hides a distinctive marker signal in the system video carrier used for leakage testing, making it easy to identify the source of signal leakage in overbuilt areas. The CT-2 comes with standard tagging frequencies of 3 Hz and 20 Hz. The 20 Hz tagging frequency is adjustable between 10 Hz and 23 Hz. When ordering, specify your desired tagging frequency. Only one CT-2 is needed per head-end.
This CE Approved version of the CT-2 hides a distinctive marker signal in the system video carrier used for leakage testing, making it easy to identify the source of signal leakage in overbuilt areas. The CT-2 comes with standard tagging frequencies of 3 Hz and 20 Hz. The 20 Hz tagging frequency is adjustable between 10 Hz and 23 Hz. When ordering, specify your desired tagging frequency. Only one CT-2 is needed per head-end.
Provides a narrow band, AM modulated carrier that is tagged for leakage testing, making it easy to identify the source of signal leakage in overbuilt areas. When ordering, specify the AM modulated carrier frequency from 108 Mhz to 157 MHz. The CT-3 comes with standard tagging frequencies of 3 Hz and 20 Hz. The 20 Hz tagging frequency is adjustable between 10 Hz and 23 Hz. When ordering, specify your desired tagging frequency. Only one CT-3 is needed per head-end.
