Preliminary ULTRA MAX PHASING TOOL 8000-2579-49 REV. B USER GUIDE 2 of 9 8000-2579-49 Front Panel functions RSSI Signal Strength Reading Press and release SW2 once. This shows the strength of the RSSI signal on the level LEDs, with LED 1 indicating the weakest and LED 3 indicating the strongest 2.4GHz RSSI signal strength. Battery Level Indication Press and release SW2 twice in succession. This displays the battery level on the three level LEDs, with 1 indicating a low battery level, 2 indicating a medium battery level, and 3 indicating a high battery level. 58KHz Signal Lock Status No button press required. The status LED flashes red with no 58 KHz present, and flashes green at a rate of approximately once per second as soon as a 58 KHz signal lock is achieved. Setting the unit as transmitter or receiver Pressing and holding down SW1 displays the current configuration. Pressing and holding down SW1, while pressing and releasing SW2, one time, toggles the unit between transmitter and receiver mode. The setting is indicated by the 3 level LEDs. The level LED 1 indicates the receiver function, while the level LED 3 indicates a transmitter. Power Save Mode The phasing tool goes into power save mode to preserve the battery when no 58 kHz signal is detected for five consecutive seconds. All LEDs turn off when it enters power save mode. The phasing tool wakes up from power save mode once a 58 kHz signal is detected. The mode is disabled when the USB cable is connected between the phasing tool and the computer. System Synchronization Test Function When the phasing tool is set to receiver mode, and has a signal lock on the 58 kHz of a system whose phase is being checked, it indicates the phase relationship to the reference system on the level LED’s. The LEDs flash as follows: LED Number Phase Indication Relative to Reference LED #1 System Phase is Lagging by more than 50 µsec LED #2 System Phase is Between plus or minus 50 µsec LED #3 System Phase is Leading by more than 50 µsec Note: 1 millisecond (msec or ms) = 1000 microseconds (µsec or µs). To convert to milliseconds, divide microseconds by 1000.A shortcut is to shift the decimal point to the left three places, which is the same as dividing by 1000. 0.050. (µs) = 0.05 (ms) For example, 50µs = 0.0 5ms, 100µs = 0.1ms 58kHz Field Strength Mode When the phasing tool is set to receiver mode, and a laptop computer is connected the 58 kHz field strength quality can be seen by typing “2” in the command line of the laptop console window. This starts the “PLL summary print” function that continuously prints to the screen the lock or unlock state of the phase lock loop and a relative signal strength quality rating system represented by groups of stars. The displayed signal strength is based on the level of the previous reading. Moving from a weaker field to a stronger field results in an increase in the star rating, and moving from a stronger field to a weaker field would result in a decrease in the star rating. ***|***|***|***: Very Strong ***|***|***|000: Strong ***|***|000|000: Moderate ***|000|000|000: Weakest The field strength quality can be useful to locate the point where the field is the strongest on concealed antennas systems or some deactivators. Below is an example of the PLL summary print showing the PLL is “Locked” and a field strength quality of “3”:
