YBT1E1 T1 & E1 Circuit Tester Product Description
The NetTek YBT1E1 T1 & E1 Circuit Tester is part of the NetTek
BTS Field Tool family: a high
tester, optimized for rapid troubleshooting and ba se station
performance verification.
The NetTek YBT1E1 compliments the functionality of the NetTek
YBT250 Field Transmitter and Interference Tester and the NetTek
YBA250 Antenna and Transmission Li ne Analyzer, which also
operate on the NetTek Analyzer Platform.
Use the NetTek YBT1E1 to verify the proper operation of T1 and E1
data lines by verifying synchronization, line framing, bit errors, and
other important characteristics. The NetTek YBT1E1 circuit tester
can perform measurements on both in-service and out-of-service
networks.

must face in the direction shown in Figure 1--11 on page 1-- 11.
Close and latch the battery retainer and battery compartment door
after installing or removing batteries.
You can add a second battery to increase the operating time. Replace
a battery with the specified type only. To purchase a battery from
Tektronix, please conta ct your Tektronix Service Center for the
correct part number.
Charging a Battery
To charge batteries installed in the NetTek Analyzer Platform,
connect the instrument to an external power supply (see Figure 1--8
on page 1--9) and let the battery or batteries recharge in the
instrument. Table 1-- 2 lists the approximate charge times for
fully--discharged batteries. You can also charge batteries in the
optional external battery charger.
