2. Setup instructions

The QPSK-PAL UFO 395 quad transponder is set up via the UFG 300 manual controller or the UFG 3xx base unit central controller. General instructions for setting up can be found in the respective user instructions.

2.1 Setting the input

2.1.1 Selecting the signal input

Inp. 1 1236MHz 27.500MS/s 3/4 CI Inp. 2 A 1588MHz 27.500MS/s 3/4

*** UFO 395-E 1 ***

DiSEqC-A off

DiSEqC-B off

Display of the input used for the two receivers. A/B changeover, input Sat-IF frequency, symbol rate, code rate, CI module (if a UFZ 394 is plugged in).

The type designation of the module including display of the input unit that the controller is addressing
Selection of the DiSEqCT ^TM signal to be sent via the HF socket, e.g. "A"

Press the sub-menu button to return to the main menu.

2.1.2 Selecting input frequency

Inp. 1 A	1236MHz
27.500MS/ s	3/4 CI
Inp. 2 A	1588MHz
27.500MS/ s	3/4

***	UFO 395-E1 ***
SNR	12dB
BER	1.0E-07

Press the button to call up the sub-menu. Select the parameter "Input frequency" and set it in 1 MHz steps between 950-2150 MHz (using the scroll button or by inputting the figures)

Instruction for calculating the Sat-IF frequency:

IF = reception frequency - oscillator frequency

The oscillator frequency is determined as follows:

9750 MHz is used for reception frequencies between 10700 and 11700 MHz

(low-band). 10600 MHz is used for reception frequencies between 11700 MHz and 12750 MHz (high-band).

This gives the value for ARD - Das Erste as:

IF = reception frequency - oscillator frequency = 11836 - 10600 = 1236 MHz

Press the button to call up the sub-menu with:

The type designation of the module
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
The Bit Error Rate (BER) associated with the SNR
Press the sub-menu button to return to the main menu.

2.1.3 Selecting the input symbol rate

Inp. 1 A	1236MHz
27.500MS/s	3/4 CI
Inp. 2 A	1588MHz
27.500MS/s	3/4

Select the parameter "Symbol rate".

Set the desired symbol rate between 2.000 and 45.000 MS/s.

Setting is by using the scroll button or by inputting the fi gures.

For channels with very low symbol rates it can take 1-4 minutes before the channel can be received.

2.1.4 Common Interface Module (this menu item appears only when the UFZ 394 is plugged in)

Inp. 1 A	1236MHz
27.500MS/ s	3/4 CI
Inp. 2 A	1588MHz
27.500MS/ s	3/4

The power consumption of the combination of UFO 395 with UFZ 394 and two Alphacrypt CA modules is as follows:

$$ 5 \mathrm {V} \rightarrow 1. 3 \mathrm {A}; 1 2. 5 \mathrm {V} \rightarrow 8 0 0 \mathrm {m A}; 3 1 \mathrm {V} \rightarrow 9 \mathrm {m A} $$

The upper slot is number 2, the lower slot is number 1.

Press the button to call up the sub-menu.

The UFZ 394 CA module slot to be used for decrypting the channel can be selected here.

Access the submenu for setting the UFZ 394 module (only input 1).

***	UFO 395	***
Slot 1
Cryptoworks
PMT	oaa	normal

The module name or an indication whether a module is plugged in is displayed in the third line of this view.

This menu is active only if the same slot for decrypting the channel is selected on Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4 (multiple decryption using a CAM).

Conditional Access Modules (CAM) manage a list of channels to be decrypted (in the form of entries called CA-PMTs). Where a CAM is required to decrypt several channels, the list can be transferred in either of two different forms.

However not all CAMs support both types of transfer. The two types are called "Only-Add-Add (oaa)" and "First-More-More-Last (fmmI)" in the UFO^® compact controller and the USW 30 software.

Therefore it is necessary to set the type of transfer to be used separately for each CAM.

***	UFO 395	***
Slot 1
Cryptoworks
PMT	oaa	normal

PMT change "normal" and "optimised":

Every now and again certain management information that is required for decrypting a channel (PMT) may change. This changed information must be communicated to the CAM. One procedure for doing this, which here we call "normal", consists of sending the complete channel list with the updated management information afresh to the CAM. This succeeds with any CAM, but can lead to short-term loss of picture for all the channels to be decrypted.

Some CAMs support the transfer of the changed management information for each individual channel (list update), without affecting the other channels that require decryption ("optimised" procedure). If the option is activated inadvertently or by mistake it can however lead to loss of picture for one or all the channels to be decrypted for an indefinite period of time (e.g. until the channel unit is next restarted).

The setting up of the standard will be performed in Q1 and will take effect during Q2, Q3 and Q4.

2.2.4.3 Switching the output signal on/off

The output channel can be switched on/off via the "RF on/off" parameter. This setting can be specified individually for each output channel.

2.2.4.4 Setting the common output level

The parameter "Output Level" allows the output level of the output channel to be continuously varied in 40 steps (approx. 20 dB).

The setting limits are designated "Min" and "Max".

• In "2-channel B" only channel 2 is transmitted during 2-channel reception

2.2.4.6 Setting the Volume

Select the parameter "Volume".

Perform the volume setting using the scroll buttons.

The adjustment range is from -3 through 0 to +3 dB.

3. Reading the software version

To display the software information, press the button.

First the software version of the controller will be shown.

Pressing the button again "pages" through the various levels.

Pressing the button once displays the system information for the channel unit.

If the UFZ 394 is plugged in, pressing the button again displays the respective software levels.

Pressing the button reverts to the main menu.

4. Software update

The operating software for the channel unit can be updated locally. A Kathrein service tool is available for this. The update program and the latest firmware for the module can be ordered for downloading from the homepage of the Kathrein Service Centre ESC at "http://www.esc-kathrein.de".

To connect the PC/laptop to the Kathrein device you will require a device-specific adapter cable (BN 700K002), which you can order from our Service Centre, the company ESC GmbH (Elektronik Service Chiemgau GmbH). The reference source for this is the respective Kathrein sales centre or the respective agent for the country.

Important:

Software can be updated during reception of programmes. The channel currently being received will be interrupted while the update is in progress.

If the module is removed or mains power is lost during an update, this does not permanently damage the module. The update simply must be repeated.
