Product Overview

RENT Pendulum 2241 Path Align-R (call for availability)

The Pendulum 2241 Path Align-R Path Alignment Tool (formerly manufactured by XL Microwave), was designed to quickly and accurately optimize and align the transmission path between to microwave sites - all in the matter of minutes. All done without use of radios, test equipment, cell phones, ground technicians or even on-site AC power. The 2241 Path Align-R comes complete with everything needed to align a microwave link and communicate between sites.

The Path Align-R set provides full duplex FM voice communication over the link, allowing the tower techs actually doing the alignment to talk to each other via included headsets, even before alignment begins. This one feature can save hundreds of dollars and many man hours in dealing with the compolexities and frustrations of communicating between ground personnel, tower technicians, and site to site coordination, while attempting to achieve link alignment.

Each path alignment system is both a tuneable snythesized signal source and a narrow-band receiver. The transmitter's fixed output level of 0 dBm is powerful enough for long path length, yet low enough to virtually eliminate the possibility of interference to adjacent links. The receiver's sensitivity and narrow bandwidth allows for accurate measurement of the received signal while providing a very high rejection of adjacent signals. Front panel thumbwheel switches provide tuning within the frequency bands to a resolution of 1 MHz. An internal microcontroller controls the operation of the test set.

Features and Benefits of the Pendulum 2241 Path Align-R include:

• Battery-powered antenna alignment tranceiver test set (pair) 
• Continuous Voice Communication over link with included headsets while aligning
• Tone ranging provides variable pitch indication of path loss
• Available with Record-R Data GPS Data Logging (model 2241)
• Tuneable operating bands (1.8 to 23.5 GHz) Path loss displayed in dB, updated 300 ms
• Tone ranging provides variable pitch indication of path loss
