ACT-5X+ Exciter User Manual 3 Menu 3.1 Initialization Connect the power supply of the ACT-5X+ and then turn on the exciter/translator via the power switch located on the rear of the unit. The initialization process takes about 5 seconds to finish while the RF output level gradually increases to the pre-set value. - Page 12 ACT-5X+ Exciter User Manual Note: The "TSNR", "LID" and "UID" in Table 2 are the measurements of feedback signal quality. This feedback signal could be from a transmitter or the exciter/translator itself and its input range is -30 dBm to 0 dBm (Recommended range is -15 dBm to -5 dBm). These measurements are derived from the After-filter Feedback Signal connected to the rear port [RF_IN_A] BNC connector.

ACT-5X+ Exciter User Manual Note: Do not change the connection status during the ADPC process otherwise it may affect the performance. If any abnormal situation occurs during the ADPC process, the system will bypass all the pre-correction data immediately and leave the corresponding status on the front panel LCD. Press any key to cancel the ADPC function manually and restart the ADPC function again after the problems are resolved. - Page 28 ACT-5X+ Exciter User Manual In the Exciter TS and MISC submenus below, you will next need to configure the Exciter TSoIP module settings (including the physical layer IP/Mask/Gateway settings as well as the specific method of how the transport packets should be received in the Exciter) to be consistent with your upstream TS IP network.
