The PROMAX-4 is an advanced model signal level meter designed for the installation and maintenance of television signal reception and distribution systems. The frequency range covered makes it an excellent instrument in FM radio, TV (MATV) and cable TV (CATV) applications. It is particularly suitable in the latter case, since it integrates all of the basic functions for the analysis of the signal in an easy-to-use, accurate, sturdy instrument at a low cost.

It enables the measurement of the signal level with a high degree of accuracy; it incorporates a series of functions for evaluating the picture quality; it includes the calculation of the video-to-audio (V/A) ratio and of the carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio in the channel (patented method).

Its design, based on a control system with an intelligent microprocessor, provides the user with easy-to-use advanced features. The digital control system allows the user to make most of the necessary operations automatic in order to optimize the measurement process; for example, continuous frequency synthesis, correction of linearity and flatness errors, the proper selection of attenuators and automatic cut-off if the instrument remains inactive for a certain period of time. To enhance its features, it allows a plan of up to 239 channels and is equipped with up to 64 program memories.

Its accuracy and reliability satisfy the requirements of the most demanding users.
