In other applications, the I/O ports can act as closure outputs, activating an external power relay, 2x1 video switcher or other device. You’ll have to choose application – the ports act as either an output or input, not both.

(DIP Switch 1, page 4). Test the RF receive level a few times when the iC-Net units are not transmitting, then again when one iC-Net unit is set to constantly transmit. The Sensitivity level should fall about halfway between quiet and constant transmit RF levels. Contemporary Research ICC-HE Head End... -

Page 25: Rf Channel Frequencies
HRC/IRC — About 10% of CATV systems use these alternate frequency plans, created to reduce “beat” interference. FCC – U.S. Broadcast VHF/UHF *Channel 1 — IRC/HRC spacing created a Channel 1 between 4 and 5, the rarely used channel must be shifted to different frequency for IC-Net operation Contemporary Research ICC-HE Head End...
