4.6.2 Shelf mounting 75 mm 75 mm Fig. 15 Fig. 15 • Align the studs on the mounting bracket with the hole matrix on the head-end station housing and snap it into place. The distance between the underside of the head-end station and the lower edge of the mounting bracket is approx.
4.6.3 Mounting the head-end station inside a 19” cabinet Fig. 16 Fig. 16 • Align the studs on the mounting bracket with the hole matrix on the housing so that it is flush with the front edge of the head-end station and snap it into place.
Installing modules Caution – Always position modules which belong together next to each other. – When installing modules, make sure that they are inserted in the long numbered grooves in front of the contact strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing.
Connecting the head-end station 6.1 Potential equalisation Earth the SAT receiver system in accordance with DIN EN 50083, part 1. • Put the earth wire (Cu ≥ 4 mm ) into the hole of the earth connection terminal on the back side of the head- end station and fasten the earth wire with the screw (fig.
6.3 HF connections To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines leading in and out of the head-end station using F terminals. Note: The following connection example shows a possible connection scheme. • According to fig. 22 use cables made on-site , length approx.
Settings Contrast of the display • Using the main power switch, (page 8, fig. 4, ) switch on the head-end station. —> The mode indicator (page 9, fig. 5, ) is activated. • Adjust the contrast of the display using the button (page 9, fig.
Page 21
—> The “Set output level” – “OUTPUT Level” menu is activated. SETUP SETUP OUTPUT OUTPUT 0 … -31 0 … -31 Level Level • Using the buttons, set the HF output level as required for the cable system. • Press the button.
Final procedures After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing modules it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, F terminals and cover screws in order to maintain compliance with current EMC regula- tions. • Securely tighten the cable connections (F connector) using an open-ended spanner (SW 11 mm).
