User manual AC1500 59300547 Rev.001 21.4.2016 5(16) Powering NOTE! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the shielding cover of the power supply unit if it is connected. All electrical installations must be carried out by authorized and competent technicians in accordance with the national or regional electrical regulations.
User manual AC1500 59300547 Rev.001 21.4.2016 7(16) Features Diplex, input and output modules, return path module The AC1500 amplifier is delivered according to the specifications defined in the ordering code. Optional return path operation needs plug-in diplex filters (Figure 4, positions 4 and 10). The available diplex filter types are CXF065 (65/85 MHz), CXF085 (85/105 MHz) and CXF204 (204/258 MHz).
User manual AC1500 59300547 Rev.001 21.4.2016 8(16) passive return path module. Options for the return path module (Figure 4 pos. 20) are AC6250 (65 MHz), AC6251 (85 MHz) and AC6252 (204 MHz). Setup Preparation Check installed plug-in modules in the amplifier. Note! Amplifier does not work if one of these components is missing.
User manual AC1500 59300547 Rev.001 21.4.2016 9(16) The return path requires a specific signal level for proper operation. The ideal level at the amplifier is based on the incoming power and the maximum loss through which that signal must travel on its way to the amplifier. A typical individual channel level at the return path input is in range of •...

User manual AC1500 59300547 Rev.001 21.4.2016 12(16) Manual gain and slope control AC1500 and AC2500 amplifiers' electrical interstage gain and slope controls can be manually adjusted in -5…+5 dB range with 0.5 dB steps. The values are stored in the amplifier memory, default is 0 dB. Note that adjustment values above ±4 dB may not be always achieved, depending on unit, temperature and selected cabling type.
21.4.2016 13(16) Remote ingress switching Teleste RIS (Remote Ingress Switching) system allows low cost ingress detection and countermeasures at headend. It consists of a head-end HDM155 RIS controller module which communicates with RIS receiver modules such as AC6158 installed in the field equipment using one-way forward path RF link.
