Operation instructions | Serie RFQ-845 and Serie RFO-845 Safety instructions: The installation of the device and repair work on the device must be carried out only by a professional in accordance with the applicable VDE directives. In case of incorrect installation, no liability is assumed.
RFO-845 | SKT 80-00M Transmodulates DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C into COFDM. The RFQ-845 ist built in two units, each with four full-fledged tuner inputs, four modulators and one output. RFO-845CI | SKT 80-02M Like RFO-845, decoding of encoded programs possible by using two CA modules.
Operation instructions | Serie RFQ-845 and Serie RFO-845 1.3. Inputs/tuners The quattro module includes four independent tuners and the octo module includes eight of them. Headend modules with 8PSK/QPSK tuners can receive DVB-S/S2. Headend modules with multituner can receive DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C. For receiving DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C the LNB power supply has to been switched off (see 3.3 on page 17) before connecting a antenna...
1.4. Output/modulators The output channels of the modulators are allways neighbour channels The quattro module has four output modulators and one RF output. The first modulator can be set to any output channel between S2 and CH 69. The other three modulators are automatically set by incrementing the output channels in accordance with the chosen channel spacing.
1.6. Display elements and connectors 1.6.1.RFQ-845 | SKT 40-00M and RFQ-845CI | SKT 40-04M 1. 4 × MPEG data stream modulator LED indicators (each with two LEDs) Error (red) = Modulator stream too large (fill level >95%, see 3.2.2 on page 16) OK (green) = Fill level O.K.

Installation in the headend base unit RFT-808: The power supply unit RFP-808 integrated in the headend base unit RFB-808 has a short and a long DC connecting cable on the output side. Connect the short DC connecting cable to the first module Connect the long DC connecting cable to the fourth module.
Operation instructions | Serie RFQ-845 and Serie RFO-845 2.1.3. Power supply in the headend base unit The power supply units supply the modules with 16 V DC voltage. The current consumption of all connected modules must not exceed the maximal delivery of the power supply unit used.
2.2.1. Power supply by external operation When being operated externally, the module is directly connected to the DC power cable of the separate power supply unit (e.g. RFP-803). Every module has a DC loop output to supply another module with power. A SKZ 40-00 DC connection cable is included in the scope of delivery of each RFQ/O-845 module.
Operation instructions | Serie RFQ-845 and Serie RFO-845 3. Configuration The device is configured via the graphical user interface of the integrated web interface. To access the user interface, you need a standard PC/laptop with a network interface and the actual version of the installed web browser.

3.3.4. Found programmes After a successful station scanning, the radio and TV stations are shown in the area "FOUND PROGRAMS". The table contains information about programme type and encoding. 3.4. Initialization phase 2 In the initialization phase 2, the found programmes are subdivided by tuner. The programme name, the programme type and information about the encryption are shown.
Operation instructions | Serie RFQ-845 and Serie RFO-845 A new click on a button allow the assignment to be canceled. The modulator buttons fades then again. 3.4.2. Scrambled programmes Scrambled programmes are indicated by the abbreviation CA in the column Encryption. They can be forwarded in encrypted form, or be decrypted in the RFQ-845CI or RFO-845CI module by means of an integrated CA module (see 4.

Assigning programmes to the modulators In the cross multiplex mode, the tuners are no longer assigned to the modulators. Programs, which are assigned to modulator 1 Click the table Tuner 1 and in the table Tuner 3 on the buttons M1. The three programmes are assigned to modulator 1.
Operation instructions | Serie RFQ-845 and Serie RFO-845 3.4.4. LCN (Logical Channel Numbering) During the scan of TV stations, the stations are usually saved in the sequence of the channel lists in tuner 1-4. The LCN function enables channel allocation for the station scan of the TV devices. The TV device must support the LCN function.
