Level Generators and Digital Level Meters
‘The PS-10 and PS-20 Level Generators are
designed as signal sources ‘or AF measurements
(on telephone and audio transmission equipment.
Their low weight, comoact design and kattery
powering options make them ideal for field appli
cations such as troubleshooting and maintenance.
‘The instruments are particularly popular among
telecommunications authorities, railways, oll
‘companies, systam manufacturers and utility
‘companies.

(Fixed frequencies from 200 Hz to 4 kHz
0r 20 He to 20 kHz
For use in investigating the frequency dependency
(of AF equioment, the PS-10 includes 10 fixed
frequencies in the range from 200 Hz to 4 kH2,
while the PS-20 has 28 frequencies between 20 Hz
‘and 20 kHz. The generator frequency of the PS-10
can also be swept. The output level can be
adjusted in steps as small as 0.* dB in the range
from -59.9 to 0 dBm (PS-20: +16.0 dBm). The error
limits of only +£0.15 dB in the mid-frequency range
and the harmonic ratio of 60 dB provided by the
PS-20 facilitate highly accurate measurements.
These instruments have enough precision even for
laboratory applications.
These Level Generators can be turned into
complete AF measuring setups through the adi-
tion of a PM-20 or PMP-20 Digital Level Meter. The
PS-10 also includes a built-in d.c. loop holdng
Circuit to maintain the d.c. exchange loop when
‘measuring on voice circuits. A plug-in adapter
providing the same function is available for the
PS-20.
The PM-10, PM-20 and PMP-20 Digital Level
Meters greatly simoliy the job of testing tele-
phone and audio channels in the field. Potential
Users of these devices include telecommunica-
tions authonties, railways, oll companies, broad-
casting companies and utlities. When combined
with the PS-10 or PS-20 Level Generator, each of
these devices forms a complete, battery-oowered
AF level measuring setup. The auto-ranging
Capability and large digital display with 0.1. dB
resolution make messurements quick and easy.
For out-of-service or loop-back moasuremente,
tho Ph-10 offers two fixed lovels (ewitch-elact
able) of -10 and ~27 dBm at 820 Hz

‘An automatic cutoff circuit ensures that no battery
power is wested. For carrying or storing the in-
struments, leather pouches and full-sized cases
are available with room for power supplies and
accessories.
The PMP-20 can measure eltner weighted or un-
weighted noise in accordance with ITU-T Recom-
mendation 0.41. A tue rms detector Is used.
