BDI DPS-100D Digital RF Power Measurement System

The DPS-100D Digital RF Power Measurement System

The DPS-100D Digital RF Power Measurement System includes a precision directional coupler ordered by EIA line size, and DPS-100D Digital RF power meter electronics package with onboard backlit LCD display. This system is suitable for measuring analog or digital RF signals with accuracy within +/- 5% of reading.

Use the DPS-100D as a standalone power monitor/antenna protection system or use more than one DPS-100D to create monitor system for master antenna applications or for complete RF facility site monitoring. The DPS-100D is part of a larger family of site monitoring products available from Broadcast Devices, Inc.

The DPS-100D Series power meters are supplied with an easy to read main screen for all important parameters including power, VSWR, general purpose input status, 3-Strike VSWR Protection System™, two temperature indications and transmission line pressure indication. All of this on a single, easy-to-read screen. There is also provision for controlling the On/Off function of a transmitter with the two available programmable relays. Of course the DPS-100D series power meters are SNMP v2 compatible so they interface seamlessly with all modern remote control systems and third part SNMP software packages.
