2 INTRODUCTION
Our EP3000EVO feld strength meter offers full coverage of terrestrial bands, CATV, including the return
channel 5-65MHz and the 1st IF satellite, as well as the 38.9 MHz IF signal.
Its main features include:
Vast measurable level dynamics: from 20 to 130 dBV in the terrestrial, CATV and SAT ranges; from
60 to 130 dBV in IF.
Numerous measurements possible. In particular, in addition to the traditional level of analogue signals,
the instrument supplies the ratio between the video and audio carriers for terrestrial and CATV bands,
the carrier/noise ratio and power of digital signals, both terrestrial and satellite.
An accurate analysis of digital signals. If the instrument is equipped with the optional QPSK, QAM,
OFDM modules, the BER measurement is possible as well as that of other important parameters.
The constellation display is an interesting and useful option (not available for OFDM). These digital
signals, if free-to-air, may be viewed by means of the MPEG option, or, at a lower cost, the parameters
of the broadcaster ( name and programs) by means of the NIT option.
6.5 high resolution colour LCD to visualize TV signals, carry out spectral analyses, view data, menues,
horizontal synch pulses, analogue measurement bars, options during programming.
Alphanumeric display of the frequency, channel, level, program and status of the instrument, especially
useful in dark locations.
Teletext.
PLL frequency synthesis tuning throughout all ranges with double frequency markers.
Spectrum analyser with variable selectivity and frequency span, frequency display on the abscissa and
amplitude on the ordinates.
Audio demodulation: AM, FM, TV mono, analogue stereo and NICAM intercarriers, audio satellite
subcarriers with PLL frequency synthesis tuning and variable selectivity.
Optional noise generator.
Optional GPS receiver.
LNB power supply and control from 5 to 24V, 22kHz and current monitor.
DiSEqC1 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 transmitter / analyser.
Data Logger with approximately a 1700 entry capability.
Standard and auxiliary SCART sockets.
RS232 connection to a Personal Computer, modem or other external devices.
Mains or internal battery power supply with built-in battery charger.
Compact and light-weight.

modes. On the alphanumerical LCD readout the cursor indicates the tuning mode selected.
Regardless of the mode selected, tuning is carried out by means of the Shaft Encoder (18)
or the numerical keyboard (28). If setting the channel or the program, confrm by means
of ENTER (30).
In the terrestrial bands, the readout visualizes the frequency, the channel numbers (if allocated)
and any connected programs, while in the SAT band the frequency and program numbers, if
any, are displayed.
The channel number displayed, with reference to a specifc frequency, depends on the selected
channel format.
The entry of the digits for frequency may be terminated by means of ENTER (30) instead of
the remaining decimals.
To digit satellite frequencies from 900 to 2150 MHz place a zero before the number (for
example, 0934.7).
To compose a channel number lower than ten place a zero before it.
To select the digit to be set by the Shaft Encoder (and then pass from fne to coarse tuning or
vice versa) use the keys or (22 and 20).
To select some channels it may be necessary to digit one or more letters by pressing the
specifc key . (28) which switches from digits to letters. For example, to tune channel S28:
Press . .
Press 7 pqrs four times.
Press 2 (A is displayed).
Press . . A becomes 2.
Press 8.
Press ENTER (30).
For safety reasons, if the Shaft Encoder is used to go below 900 MHz or if the maximum
frequency is reached, the minimum value is reset and the LNB, if on, is turned off .
The TV standard and the channel format are set by means of the related menu (see 5.8.10.1
and 5.8.10.2).
In the satellite band it is possible to alternate the frequency display among 1

5.8. MEASUREMENT
When the key MEA (3) is pressed access
is given to Measurement functioning mode.
the instrument supplies the following information:
On display (17):
the signal level in numerical format,
in dBV, dBmV, dBm or V.
On the screen (1):
The relative analogue level in the form
of a bargraph with a rule scale (2).
TV picture (partial),
if the TV demodulator has been selected.
TV synch waveform.
In audio:
Acoustic level tone, if required (see 5.8.1.1).
5.8.1. MEA engaged menu
NOTE: some items on this menu
(as, for example, the video flter and the DCP)
will be explained further on in this manual,
in the specifc chapters.
For the access to the menu keep the key MEA C/N (3) pressed. By means of the Shaft Encoder
Integral or simplifed mode
DCP measurement
The power of a digital signal
is distributed in the band occupied by the
channel; an accurate measurement may
be carried out either by a meter with the
same bandwidth as the signal or by a
meter with a lower bandwidth, summing
or integrating the measurements neces-
sary to explore the entire channel. This
requires time in addition to calculations.
The simplifed measurement consists in
carrying out a measurement within the
channel and correcting the value for the
different bandwidths. This method, while
correct, does not take into account level
variations within the channel, therefore it
is potentially less accurate.
27 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
select the desired item and press ENTER (30) to confrm. Once the operations have been
carried out, press the same MEA C/N key to exit.
5.8.1.1. Engaging the aural tone
Press ENTER (30) to alternately engage or disengage it.
The tone becomes increasingly pitchy as the signal level rises. If the input signal exceeds full scale
the tone becomes warbled to indicate that more attenuation is needed to bring the signal back to a
readable length. Since the tone pitch is proportional to signal level (or power), it may conveniently
be used for fne dish or aerial peaking without having to look at the screen.
5.8.1.2. DEM, Demodulator selection
Select the three measurement demodulators as follows:
TV, for video carrier of TV signals (with simultaneous selection of the intercarrier audio mode).
AM, for amplitude modulated carriers.
FM, for frequency modulated carriers.
In all three cases the corresponding audio or level tone indicator is available on the loudspeakers.
5.8.1.3. VIDEO FILTER
To alternately include/exclude the video flter press ENTER (30). The video flter is also used in
the Spectrum or Expanded mode.
5.8.1.4. * SOURCE, Input source selection
Press ENTER (30) to alternately select RF (radio frequency, from 5 MHz to 2150 MHz), IF (38.9
MHz intermediate frequency) or EXT (SCART).
5.8.1.5. UNIT, selection of the unit of measure
Press ENTER (30) to select in sequence dBV, dBm, dBmV, V. The selection is valid for both
analogue and digital signals.
5.8.1.6. DCP INTEGRAL measurement mode
Press ENTER (30) to carry out the integral DCP measurement mode (see box on page 27).
5.8.1.7. DCP PRMT or DCP measuring parameters
Selecting this menu gives access to a submenu with two choices:
DCP SAT CH BW, to select the digital satellite channel bandwidth by means
of the Shaft Encoder.
DCP TER CH BW, to select the digital terrestrial channel bandwidth by means
of the Shaft Encoder.
5.8.1.8. C/N PRMT, C/N measuring parameters
This menu too gives access to a submenu with four items:
SAT ANF (Analogue Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for satellite band
analogue signal measurements.
SAT DNF (Digital Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for satellite band
digital signal measurements.
VHF-UHF ANF (Analogue Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for terrestrial
band analogue signal measurements.
VHF-UHF DNF (Digital Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for terrestrial
band digital signal measurements.
MODE AUTO (ON) or (OFF). To select the C/N measurement mode between automatic (ON)
and manual (OFF). The selection is made by pressing ENTER (30).
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 28
Use the manual mode when looking for the maximum or minimum level by means of tuning or in other
operations like antenna pointing. Many expert operators prefer to use the attenuator in the
manual mode because it makes level variations more evident.
WARNING:
When measuring pure noise or digital signals, it is important to keep in mind that this type of signal easily
saturates the input stages, therefore it is important to make the following considerations:
As far as possible, the measurement should be carried out by means of the attenuator in the manual mode.
To make sure that the input is not saturated check that the level measurement does not change
drasti cally when the attenuation is changed.
The narrower the measurement bandwidth (w, n, k), the higher the risk of overload
The instrument places an asterisk near the measurement levels printed which could potentially
be affected by an error due to overload.
5.8.4. Level measurement
Connect the signal to be measured to the RF IN (19) input connector.
To establish the unit of measure see 5.8.1.5. Program the demodulator suitable to the type of
signal to be measured, TV for analogue television video carriers, FM for Frequency Modulated
carriers, AM for Amplitude Modulated carriers).
5.8.5. Synch pulse
The horizontal synch pulse appears on the left side of the screen in the measurement mode
as on any oscilloscope. Very important information may be obtained by observing it, especially
in the terrestrial band. For example, a reduction in the pulse implies the beginning of a certain
compression in the headend power amps, whereas a reduction/increase of the colour burst means
that the amplifer of the observed channel is not correctly calibrated.
5.8.6. DCP, Digital Channel Power
It is possible to carry out the exact DCP measurement, integrating all the energy of the digital
channel (see 5.8.6.1 for more), or an estimated measurement based on calculation (see 5.8.6.2.
for more). The integrated measurement is very accurate, while the estimated one is faster.
The digital signals may be equated to noise with respect to the level measurement, and for this
reason we recommend keeping in mind the considerations in Chap 5.8.3.2.
WARNING:
input voltages higher than the maximum limit: 100 V DC or 5 Vpp
may damage the instrument.
Do not apply continuous voltage to the input when the LNB is supplied.

6.3. SATELLITE VIDEO BASE BAND OUTPUT
The base band signal is available on the B.B. OUT ( 42) socket as supplied by the demodulator,
therefore without fltering and clamping, also including the audio carriers. The Base Band signal is
normally used by the analogue decoders. Since some of them require deemphasis and others do
not, both are supplied.
6.3.1. Connections
1. Base band without deemphasis.
2. Ground.
3. Base band with deemphasis.
4. Base band without deemphasis.
5. Base band with deemphasis.
6.4 . RS232 SERIAL CONNECTION
By means of the RS232 serial port it is possible to connect the instrument to a Personal Computer,
an external printer (our model STP165), or other devices, including third party printers.
The list of commands that may be carried out and that of the error messages are indicated in the
accessories volume.
6.4.1. Connections
The RS232 connector is located on the side panel of the auxiliary functions (43). Figure 9 shows
the layout of the connector pins, and the connections of the connecting cables to a Personal
Computer or a modem.
1 NC Not connected
2 Rx Data reception. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem).
3 Tx Data transmission. (Direction EP3000EVO PC or modem).
4 DTR Data Terminal Ready. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). When this line
is operative the PC, printer or modem informs the EP3000EVO that the two devices are
ready for data exchange.
5 GND Ground.
6 DSR Data Set Ready (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). The EP3000EVO
enables this line to inform the PC, printer or modem that it is ready for data exchange.
7 RTS Request To Send. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). The EP3000EVO
waits for this line to be enabled before transmitting the data to the PC, printer or
modem.
8 CTS Clear To Send. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). When this line is
brought to an operative level, it informs the PC that data transmission may initiate.
9 NC Not connected.
NOTE: The apparent contradiction (Rx = Output, etc.) is due to the fact that the instrument is
confgured as DCE (Data Communication Equipment). This is the reason why the connection
cable to the computer is used without inversion.
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 52
6.4.2. Connector
Figure 9
6.4.3. Transmission format
The instrument leaves the factory with the following RS 232 serial port confguration set in the
below indicated mode: Baud Rate 38400, number of bits 8, Stop bits 2, no Parity. The format may
be changed in the menu which has been recalled by keeping the key DATA OUT (23) pressed, at
item RS232 PRMT (see 5.12.1.7).
6.4.4. General notes regarding connections to a Personal Computer
The instrument is confgured as DCE (Data Communication Equipment).
The connection should be carried out in the Full Duplex modality since, if confgured for
connection to a Personal Computer, the instrument supplies an echo of the input data,
character by character.
In case an error is made while keying in the command line it is possible to use the backspace
character backspace.
The command line is carried out on reception of the Carriage Return character (decimal 13,
hexadecimal 0D).
The instrument uses, when connected, the handshake lines RTS and CTS.
A correction check of the command is carried out, but not including any data. For example:
QX27<CR> is refused (the command QX does not exist).
FR4yg.1a<CR> programs an unpredictable frequency.
