USER'S MANUAL. PROPOWER-5
It is possible to easily canalise a certain electrical distribution network and to
evaluate if it is adapted for the PLC signal transmission from a simple procedure of test
that is made by means of the noise generator PROPOWER-1 and the PLC spectrum
analyser PROPOWER-5.
This procedure allows to evaluate PLC signals in three steps from the electrical
distribution lines:
1. MT Ring
2. BT Lines, being this the most important line to be checked.
3. Domestic Line, from the consumption meter to the subscriber.
Measurement procedure
1. Connect the PROPOWER-1 generator in the point of measurement and to activate
it.
2. Connect the PROPOWER-5 analyser in the different points of connection.
3. Verify if the measured spectrum presents acceptable insertion losses, according to
the preset tolerance levels for each section that allow their use in the transmission
of PLC signals. Also it is valid to identify the different lines of communication
characterising them from the spectrum measured.
