3. Functions and measurements type
3.1. Functions
The main functions of the ACT6000 are: Generator & Meter; Spectrum and Network
Analyzer; TDR fault locator.
To the above are added the following functions:
▪ DMM plug & play module, for metallic measurements: AC/DC Voltage,
DC Resistance / Insulation, RFL, AC/DC Capacitance and Impedance response.
▪ POTS-SUB plug & play module, for manual Subscribe Simulator and automatic
Telephone DELT sequence.
▪Instrument Configuration (General Setup, Display, Date, Hour, Cable type,
Software up-date etc.)
▪ File Manager utility for files storage, management and export.
3.2. Measurement types
● Transmissive measurements:
▪ Signal and white noise generation
▪ Selective Level and Frequency measurements
▪ Noise measurement (wide and weighted band)
▪ Power Spectral Density in high impedance and “DPBO” test.
▪ Return Loss measurement
▪ Longitudinal Balance Loss measurement
▪ Crosstalk Loss measurement
▪ Insertion Loss measurement
▪ S/N and Distortion (on base band) measurement
● Events test:
▪ Impulsive Noise long term measurement;
▪ Micro-interruptions long term measurement;
● TDR Fault location:
▪ TDR real time measurement for faults and line length location;
▪ TDR long term measurement to intermittent faults location.
By the adopting of the DMM optional module:
▪ AC – DC Voltage;
▪ AC – DC Capacitance;
▪ DC – Resistance, Balancement, Insulation and RFL (Resist. Fault Location);
▪ AC Impedance response.
