Leak detection and tracking

QS Isolator

Advanced technology meets affordability

The QS Isolator is the quick, easy way to get to the source of the problem. Engineered to quickly and accurately locate and identify the source of signal leakage, QAM Snare flags a starting point from which the QS Isolator easily directs your technician to the offending device.

Models + Options

QS Isolator

The QS Isolator is designed for close-range detection of QAM leakage. QS Isolator pairs with a Navigator mounted in your vehicle to function as a data bridge, relaying samples from the headend to the Isolator. The Isolator correlates the headend signal set with the signal set pulled from its local antenna. QS isolator is also completely agile and can seamlessly switch between three Navigator detection channels.

QS Isolator Set

The Isolator Set is a cost-effective solution to provide any system with the ability to troubleshoot LTE leakage without installing any equipment at the headend. One Isolator acquires the QAM channel samples and then sends them to the second. The second unit correlates the samples to samples pulled from its local antenna. It also provides an effective means to troubleshoot QAM egress in the headend.

Productivity Driven

Built to help you perform better

EFFICIENT: Simple to use, just point and move in the direction of increasing detection level.

FOOLPROOF: Unlike other products, QS Isolator is immune to multipath distortion that could potentially point you in the wrong direction.

SENSITIVITY: The loop dipole antenna acts as a magnifying glass to make detected leaks easy to locate.

AGILE: Rapidly detects and locates QAM egress at any frequency.

PRECISE: No false alarms – no leaks missed.
