Introduction/General use of the headend CFP-700 (Ref. 4401): power supply +12 V/+24 V for selection of polarisation. EN EN BAS-900 (Ref. 4411): base-support with capacity for 9 modules (dimensions: 563x257x24 mm). MS-0504 (Ref. 1023): stand-alone multiswitch (4 SAT inputs and 4 outputs). NoTE Please read the detailed information in the manuals for the modules included in their respective packaging.
Attach the modules to the base one by one following the instructions given in the manuals for each module. NoTE IKUSI recommends the modules are assembled in the order shown in the above figure: Right: CFP-700/CFP-507 power supplies. Left: STC-100 transmodulators...
Basic installation and configuration/Description of the user interface Last STC-100 on the right: Master STC-100 with the DVB-T output signal. Connect the input and output signal connections in accordance with the instructions for the module manuals and the diagram shown in the previous figure.
