NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL While navigating through the submenus, the top bar of the screen continuously shows the hierarchical location using a navigation trail or "breadcrumb". This allows the user to always know exactly which section of the menu they are in. Breadcrumbs In the following chapters of the manual, each section of the menu will be explained in detail.
NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL 1.- FILTER Menu This menu groups all the functions needed to configure programmable filters 1.1.-AUTOSCAN The AUTOSCAN option allows you to configure the equipment quickly and easily with just three clicks, making it suitable for most situations. It is located within the FILTER menu and can be executed directly by selecting START.
NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL 1.2.-MANUAL This option allows you to manually configure all possible filter settings, such as creating, deleting, editing, etc. The existing filters are displayed grouped by input, and from this option, you can also activate the preamp power (12V or 24V) as needed. The following describes the process for each of the filter editing functions: Clear All: Removes all filters from the selected input.
NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL 1.3.-SPECTRUM This unique function of the NOVUS PRO series provides a graphical representation of the spectrum of programmed filters. The input signal for each filter is shown by a vertical bar, with the length representing the signal level. The small upper bar represents the output level of each filter and allows you to quickly verify if it is properly equalized by aligning horizontally with the other filters.
NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL 1.3.-DAB This option, which is disabled by default, allows input 3 to be configured as a filter for the DAB band, covering the range from 170 MHz to 240 MHz. Activate DAB 1.4.-LTE By default, inputs 2 and 3 are configured with a filter to block LTE and LTE2 signals above 700 MHz. To receive DTT channels up to 790 MHz, select the LTE option.
NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL 2.-OUTPUT menu (DTT and FM) In this menu, you can directly access the configuration of the output level and slope for the DTT and FM channels. 2.1-DTT Output Level Based on the number of programmed filters, the device sets the recommended maximum output level.

NOVUS PRO USER MANUAL 3.4-TEST MODE The TEST mode is another exclusive feature of the NOVUS PRO series that allows for the quick detection and localization of defects in the installation wiring. While in this mode, the unit temporarily modifies the output signal and generates an equalized channel comb that spans the entire UHF band.
