Technote 1: Setting up ZA- 431/331 processor modules
The ZA-331 and ZA-431 are modular programmable processors for terrestrial digital, DAB+
and analogue TV. Each processor module, ZA-431 (UHF) or ZA-331(VHF), consists of a super
selective mono channel filter (FOS).
IR Sensor
IMPORTANT: Layout of the modules must be as shown above. Power Supply(AS-326) must
be located on the far left hand side and launch amplifier(PA-320) must be the next module in
the chain. Please look at the above picture.
Programming of Modules
Ensure the following prior to programming:
• It is necessary to connect all the modules to the support frame SP-126 (code 9050100)
for the system to function.
• It is also recommended that you make the earth connection to the building using a cable
with a section of at least 4 mm.
• Ensure that you have the Alcad programmer PS-003 with firmware version 4.7 or later.
• Power supply/Control cable must be plugged into each module.
REMOVE
modules without disconnecting mains supply power from wall outlet. Always
disconnect the equipment, and then reconnect it to the mains supply so that the
amplifier recognises the new module. Failure to do so can cause equipment to fail.

  • Page 2 The ZA-431 and ZA-331 processors can feed preamplifiers via the input. Connect the output of the preamplifier to the input of the ZA that will pass up to 24VDC 60mA automatically. If an antenna without preamplifier is connected, the ZA module will detect there is no preamplifier and will automatically deactivate the power supply.
  • Page 3 This will activate the processor to be programmed. Press arrow down on programmer get the following screenshot press arrows to select your processor either ZA-331 or ZA-431 then press arrow down You should see the screen below which gives you the option Analogue or digital. Select digital and press transmit button You will then see the screen.

  • Page 5 Once you have the desired centre frequency press transmit and you will see the PRG LED on the processor you are programming flash twice. This indicates it is receiving the settings from the programmer. Now press down arrow to get to the next screen below. Bandwidth setting for Australia MUST ALWAYS be set to 7MHz.
  • Page 6 2.0 Auto-Adjustment Feature for power levels (THIS WILL ONLY WORK UNDER IDEAL CONDITIONS AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED. ADVANCED USERS ONLY) IMPORTANT: For this feature to work correctly INPUT power to all processors must be within 70dBµV to 50dBµV for DVB-T (Digital transmission). If any of the channel powers within the headend exceeds the range of 70dBµV to 50dBµV for DVB-T and 80dBµV to 60dBµVfor Analogue, input level indicator of the ZA module will continue to blink.
