Take measures to protect against ESD! • Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly instructions for the STC 160. 3.1 Installing the QPSK-QAM module Caution –...
3.2 Connecting the QPSK-QAM module • Connect SAT-IF inputs on the QPSK-QAM module with the correspond- ing cable terminals or with one of the outputs (if applicable) on the retro- fitted SAT IF input distributor. • After programming, connect the modulator output with one of the input sockets on the output collector.
The control panel at a glance 4.1 Menu items Program the QPSK-QAM module using the buttons on the head-end station con- trol panel. The menus appear on the two-line display of the control panel. The parameters and functions to be set are underlined. You can use the M button to select the following menu items: –...
Programming 5.1 Preparation • Connect the test receiver to the HF output on the QPSK-QAM module or to the HF output on the output collector if it is already connected (page 7). • Adjust the test receiver to the output channel of the channel strip to be set. •...

Adjusting the output levels of the channel strips In this menu, the “control” setting is used to transmit a digital carrier through the analogue video carrier frequency of the output channel for the respective channel strip. This makes it possible to measure the absolute output level of this channel strip with an analogue test receiver.
Setting the LNB oscillator frequency Bx 1A Bx 1A f = 10600 MHz f = 10600 MHz • Use the buttons to position the cursor under the digit to be set, then use to set the oscillator frequency for the LNB being used. •...
Setting the input frequency Notes: – Once the HF receiver has synchronised to the input signal, any offset to the target frequency is displayed in MHz, e.g. “+0.2”. – The “CN…” indicator in this menu provides an indication of the C/N signal-to-noise ratio of the received carrier. If the value is below “CN 5,”...
