Therefore, operators need a reliable early fault detection system that identifies problems with cables, antennas, and splitters before more serious damage occurs. Spinner's Antenna Monitoring System (AMS) does all this and more.
AMS is designed to detect faults in the broadcast transmission infrastructure and warn of the problem before damage is done. This helps keep the system on the air.
The SPINNER solution uses insulation measurement and arc detection to monitor the system from the patch panel to the feeder cable and the last dipole. The patented measurement equipment responds to the earliest and smallest signs of moisture penetration.
AMS then triggers an alarm both locally via the control lamps and remotely through the SNMP interface. All events are permanently logged and can be reviewed via a user-friendly web interface.
SPINNER AMS consists of a U-shaped link connected to a control unit. It is a simple and ingenious design, with quick and easy installation. All components are housed indoors at a single point. There are no invasive changes to the system, no signal distortion, and the antenna configuration remains unaffected.
