■ Setup instructions

The twin DVB-S2-QAM (QPSK/8PSK on QAM) transmodulator is set up using the controller on the base unit UFG 404 or UFG 412 or UFG 412/R.

Required software version for the controller: at least version V 9.30

For setup, connect the controller to the module (contains channel units I and II).

The buttons specified below apply to the controller (also see instructions for the base units UFG 404 or UFG 412 or UFG 412/R).

Note: The settings and numerical values shown below are intended as an example and do not necessarily match the delivery status.

The desired channel unit (I or II) is selected using the “<<” or “>>” buttons.

The desired parameter is selected using the "<" and ">" buttons.

The selected parameter flashes in the display.

The setting is performed using the "+" and "-" buttons and where necessary using the "Change setting mode" button.

The sub-menus are activated and deactivated by pressing the "Sub-menu" button.

Finally, press the "M" button to save the setting in the module.

Note: If the controller is disconnected from the module without saving the settings by pressing the "M" button, the settings originally stored in the module are reactivated.

■ Setting the language and interrogating the version numbers

Pressing the "F" button brings you to the System menu, where the language can be set and the version numbers interrogated.

Main menu (all symbols shown)

■ Displays

(\*) Left of "TP":

Indicates "desired operating mode not yet reached", displayed continuously in the event of an error. If the indicator (*) is flashing, the channel unit cannot reach its proper operating mode.

This may be because of the following reasons (among others):

  • Input frequency or symbol rate set incorrectly
  • No input signal

Right of "Outp.":

The channel unit output is switched off.

(!) The exclamation mark indicates that the settings of the output symbol rate and QAM stage are not sufficient for processing the input data rate (i.e. the input data rate is greater than the output data rate).

- without the programme filter, a defective output signal will be output - with the programme filter, the data rate can be sufficiently reduced by filtering out individual programmes.

The exclamation mark indicates here that the user should check the correct operation

(P) Just to the left of „TP“:

The „P“ indicates that the programme filter is activated and that some programmes may be removed from the transponder stream.

If the front end is not clicked into place (no Sat input signal), the following display appears:

2.3.2 Generating the cable NIT, switching the cable NIT on and off

The controller completes the NIT generation process after it is started manually with the "+" button.

The new cable NIT is created and then sent to the channel units (with QAM output). The procedure can be aborted by pressing the “-” button (leading to the error message shown below). A progress bar is displayed in the bottom line of the display during the generation process.

When the cable NIT is complete it is saved and can now be switched on and off as required. This is done by using the "<" and ">” buttons to select the "Cable NIT" "on/off" sub-menu and using the "+" and "-" to make the change-over.

The following conditions must be fulfilled to generate the NIT successfully:

• The system must be fully set up
- All digital channel units must be in operation with their front ends clicked into place

Note: The NIT compilation cannot be performed if the HF output signal is switched on at an unused channel unit.

2.3.3 Planning a system with cable NIT

When planning a system with cable NIT, the following should be noted regarding the position of the modules:

Case 1: All modules control the functioning of the cable NIT.

In this case the position of the individual modules in the system is immaterial and irrelevant.

Case 2: UFO® compact system made up of different module types

If not all of the modules in use are capable of generating a cable NIT, the insert position specification described below must be complied with.

Insert position speci cation:

For the NIT generation to function properly, each satellite frequency plane must be reached by at least one channel unit that is capable of generating a NIT.

3 Notes and typical application

When using in older base and expansion units, see following note.

Note:

  • When expanding existing systems (still using power supply BN 1681794) with UFO 372/TP, note that the power supply has a lower current rating. Therefore study the power consumption information on the power supply label.
  • If it is fitted in the UFG 404 base unit, check that the maximum permissible loading on the power supply unit is not exceeded.
