PROMAX TV, satellite and broadcast analyzers
Satellite and TV Test & Measurement Instruments
In field strength meters and spectrum analyzers, PROMAX is the world reference. Made in Spain; the professional market’s benchmark for reliability, design and long service life. Widely imitated — yet operators, broadcasters and expert installers stay with PROMAX. We have been the general distributor for Turkey since 1989 and ship worldwide.

From the field meter in a technician’s bag to the headend monitoring system, the whole family shares one interface and one measurement logic — learn one instrument and your team knows them all. Commissioning training, warranty and post-warranty service are run from Istanbul.
Which analyzer is right for you?
The PROMAX range falls into four layers: broadcast class (ATLAS, TV EXPLORER NG), professional field (RANGER Neo 3 / 2 / +), entry and compact (Neo Lite, RANGER mini, HD RANGER) and antenna alignment meters (SATHUNTER+, TVHUNTER+). Every model also has a 19” rack counterpart. The table below goes from the job to the instrument.

Compiled from the manufacturer’s published feature lists; “—” means the feature is not stated for that model. We send the current full datasheet with every quote.
The RANGER Neo 4 is out of production; the ATLAS family has replaced it. If you run a Neo 4 and are planning a replacement: ATLAS NG for broadcast and IP-heavy work, RANGER Neo 3 for field-measurement-heavy work. We continue to service and calibrate the Neo 4 units already in the field.

Multicarrier test signal generators
Complementary to PROMAX field meters. They let you check an installation on the IF, UHF and CATV bands before any real signal exists — you test as soon as the cabling is finished, without waiting for an antenna or a broadcast.
RP-050
IF and UHF signal generator
Handy, versatile and easy to use. Check satellite receivers and a building’s coaxial cabling without a live broadcast.
RP-080
Test signal generator
Generates up to four independent pilot carriers with individually selectable levels — for measuring tilt and level balance across a distribution network at several points at once.
RP-110
Coaxial cable test generator
Certifies coaxial cable across all the bands it is used in — CATV and SMATV. The evidence behind the measurement report you hand over with the installation.
Accessories and complements
Auxiliary instruments that extend what a field meter can do: coverage antennas, frequency converters, a noise generator and a transport case.
AM-060
Omnidirectional coverage antenna
Ideal for drive testing. Its omnidirectional design means you measure without aiming; its magnetic base sticks to a vehicle body. It needs no external supply — it does not drain the analyzer’s battery, so coverage runs last longer.
AM-030
Master test antenna
Connected to any field strength meter, it measures the electric field strength at your location. The basic tool for site surveys and choosing where an antenna goes.
CV-100
Optical-to-RF converter
Makes TV and satellite analyzers compatible with optical LNBs. On installations distributing satellite over fiber, you measure without replacing the analyzer you already own.
CV-223
2–3 GHz down converter
A radio frequency down converter for the 2020–3000 MHz range, letting you measure bands above the analyzer’s upper frequency limit.
CV-245
2.4 GHz band converter
A radio frequency down converter for the 2.4–2.5 GHz range, used for Wi-Fi and ISM band measurements.
NG-283
Noise generator
A handheld broadband white Gaussian noise generator covering 1–2200 MHz — for sweeping a network’s frequency response in one pass and plotting its attenuation curve.
CV-150
Security camera video adapter
Converts TVI, AHD and CVI to PAL/NTSC — you view CCTV camera video on the screen of your TV analyzer. For crews covering both broadcast and security installations, it removes the need to carry a separate monitor.
DC-229
Transport and storage case
A sturdy case manufactured in ABS plastic with customisable inner space. Carries instrument, probes and accessories in one impact-protected case.
Software
PROMAX software that turns measurement results into reports, maps and archives.
KML Generator
Coverage map builder
A free online tool. It converts the signal coverage analysis files produced by the HD RANGER into KML — open them in Google Earth and your coverage map is there. Valuable for regulator and operator reporting.
RM-404
Signal monitoring software
Software for monitoring and managing the data obtained from TV EXPLORER II / II+ / HD LE / HD / HD+ field strength meters.
TSAnalyser
Transport stream analysis software
Free software. It analyses MPEG-2 transport streams and displays every feature graphically and as a tree. For solving multiplex problems at a desk rather than on site.
