8. Scan For Leakage Source: Hold the HD-
1 antenna in the air and rotate anten-
na slowly until the meter alarm indi-
cates a strong signal and a new peak
reading is reported. If the leakage level
identified is greater than or equal to
the minimum leakage level specified
by your cable system, repair the leak-
age source or report it for repair.
9. Follow-up Check: After the identified
egress leakage source is repaired,
check for additional egress leakage in
the area. If no other leaks are found
in the area, check for ingress, and
then return to your patrol vehicle and
search for other leakage sources.
10. Why Check for Ingress: Most leakage
sources are located at drop areas, there-
fore most ingress checks are completed
at residential sites. You should always
check and repair all sources of egress
during home installation before check-
ing for ingress. If your egress sources
are eliminated, you will also eliminate
most of your sources for ingress.
11. Check for Ingress: Locate the resi-
dential ground block and connect
your meter and RF Input Line. Turn
your meter “ON” and use the
Navigator button to select the Ingress
option. View the Ingress display
screen. If your screen indicates “Pass”
at the top of your screen, your ingress
levels are in the acceptable range. If
your screen indicates “Fail”, you need
to locate the ingress source.
Reconnect all service cable connec-
tions when your job is completed.
