BDI DPS-100D-6-1/8 RF Power Meter

Accurate RF Power Monitoring System

The BDI DPS-100D-6 1/8 Digital RF Power Measurement System is designed to provide precise measurement and monitoring of analog and digital RF signals. Built with a 6-1/8" EIA directional coupler and advanced electronic metering package, this unit ensures consistent accuracy within ±5% across its dynamic range. The system features a backlit LCD display that makes it easy to view important data at a glance, making it a reliable tool for engineers managing transmission lines, RF facilities, or broadcast sites.

Versatile Applications for RF Systems

This RF power meter can be deployed as a standalone monitoring solution or integrated into larger antenna protection and RF site monitoring systems. By using multiple DPS-100D units together, operators can create a robust monitoring system for master antenna sites or facility-wide RF operations. Its design supports both forward and reflected power measurement, making it ideal for critical installations where accuracy and reliability are paramount.

Advanced Display and Control Options

The DPS-100D series features an intuitive on-screen interface that consolidates key operating parameters onto a single screen. Engineers can easily monitor power, VSWR status, line temperature, and transmission line pressure without switching between multiple displays. Dedicated icons provide immediate visual confirmation of system status, including alerts for VSWR faults, communication issues, high or low RF thresholds, and network connectivity.

System Protection and Control Capabilities

In addition to its monitoring functions, the DPS-100D offers protection and control features to safeguard transmitters and antenna systems. The integrated 3-Strike VSWR Protection System helps prevent equipment damage by shutting down transmissions under fault conditions. With programmable relays, the unit can also manage external devices, such as transmitter On/Off control, ensuring fast response to potential risks in high-power RF environments.

Flexible Connectivity and Remote Monitoring

Engineers benefit from the wide range of communication interfaces built into the DPS-100D. The system supports Ethernet, RS-485, and protocols such as SNMP, TCP/IP, and UDP, making it fully compatible with modern broadcast and RF remote control platforms. This connectivity allows operators to integrate the DPS-100D into existing control systems while maintaining full oversight of critical RF performance metrics.

Built for Demanding Environments

The DPS-100D-6 1/8 is built to withstand the tough conditions of broadcast and RF facility environments. With an operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C, storage tolerance down to -60°C, and 95% non-condensing humidity resistance, this system delivers reliable performance even in extreme conditions. Its durable design and range of available line sizes make it suitable for a variety of professional RF installations.
