4 1 Safety regulations The standards ENDIN EN resp. IECENDIN EN must be observed. Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms. Assembly, installation and servicing should be carried out by authorised electricians. Switch off the operating voltage of the system before beginning with assembly or service work. Avoid short circuits! Observe the relevant standards, regulations and guidelines on the installation and operation of antenna systems. To ensure electromagnetic compatibility, make sure all connections are tight and the covers are screwed on securely. No liability is accepted for damage caused by faulty connections or inappropriate handling of the device. Check the head-end station STC 160 according to the safety instructions listed in their assembly instruction. Take precautions to prevent static discharge when working on the device! Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish. In accordance with directive EC of the European Parliament and the European Council from January 27, 2003 which addresses old electronic and electrical devices, such devices must be disposed of at a designated collection facility. At the end of its service life, please take your device to one of these public collection facilities for proper disposal HD 460 P CI

7 2.4 Description The transmodulator module converts a station modulated acc. to DVB-SDVB- S2, DVB-C or DVB-TT2 standard into a PAL signal. Block diagr a m SAT INPUT OK => CABLETERR DVB-SS2 DVB_C IN DVB-TT2 Tuner DVB-SS2 Tuner DVB-CTT2 CA-odul CA module ultimedia µp odulator RF OUT Gener al As signal source the corresponding Tuner can be selected. Using an adequate CA module a scrambled channel can be descrambled. A LED provide an indication of the input signal quality based on their colour. LED indicator Indication Green Signal quality is good Orange Signal quality is poor Red No signal The PAL output signal is sent through the RF output of the module to the output collector. The output level can be set at the output collector. When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the "SETUP" menu and the software version of the control unit. The head-end station output level can be adjusted in this menu. The control of the module takes place via the control unit of the head-end station. To operate the module the software version of the control unit (head-end station) must be "V 10" or higher. The operating software of the module and the head-end station can be updated using a PC and the software "BE-Flash" via the 9-pin D-SUB socket on the head-end station. You can find the current operating software for the head-end station and the module, the software "BE- Flash" and the current assembly instructions on the website " The module is designed exclusively for use in the STC 160 head-end station HD 460 P CI

8 3 Installation Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate. Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way. Before installing or changing a module, switch off the head-end station or unplug the power cable from the mains power socket. Take measures to protect against ESD! Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly instructions for the STC Retrofit ting a CA module The module is equipped with one common interface. This allows you to connect a CA module for various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled channels can only be descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scrambling system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all the information for authorisation, descrambling and subscription. Any changes made by programme provider to the structures in the programme data might impair or even prevent this function. When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding operating manuals from the respective providers. Insert the smart card 1 into the CA module 2 so that the chip 3 on the smart card faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module (fig. 1). Push the CA module 2 without canting into the guide rails 4 of the common interface 5 according to the following picture and contact it to the common interface Fig HD 460 P CI

9 3.2 I n s ta l l i n g the module Check that the plug contacts of the CA module are tightly seated in the terminal strips on the common interface of the module and make sure there is reliable contact. When installing a module, make sure that it is inserted in one of the long, numbered grooves in front of the contact strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing. The shorter, non-numbered grooves without a contact strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing are for add-on modules only. Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly instructions for the STC 160. Open the locking device 1 in the direction of the arrow (fig. 2). 1 Fig. 2 Insert the module in grooves A of an open slot (with contact strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing) and gently slide it into the head-end station until it makes contact with the board on the rear wall (fig. 3). After installing the module close the locking device C in the direction of the arrow (fig. 3). Ensure to get a well contact to spring B. A B C A Fig HD 460 P CI

10 3.3 Connecting the module D E F G H Fig. 4 Connect the RF input E of the module (fig. 4) to a corresponding signal source via the preinstalled F terminals in the rear wall of the head-end station through the cable inlets G using RF cables made on-site or if applicable connect it to one of the outputs of a retrofitted SAT-IF input distributor. After programming, connect the modulator output F to one of the input sockets of a retrofitted output collector H HD 460 P CI

12 5 Programming 5.1 Prepar ation Test the software versions of the head-end station and the module and update them if necessary. The current software versions can be found on the website " 5.2 Notes on level set ting In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the cable system, the output level digital cassettes must be decreased by 10 db compared to this analogous cassette at 64 QA, and by 4 db compared to this analogous cassette at 256 QA. easure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform output level using the appropriate level controls or software dependent on the head-end station used. Please regard the assembly instructions of the respective head-end station HD 460 P CI

30 6 Final procedures After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing modules it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, cable terminals and cover screws in order to maintain compliance with current EC regulations. Securely tighten the cable connections using an appropriate open-ended spanner. After programming, connect the modulator output G to one of the input sockets I of the output collector (page 10, fig. 4). Test the output level of the output collector according to the STC 160 assembly instructions and set the output level required for the cable system. ount the base plate and the front cover (see STC 160 assembly instructions) HD 460 P CI
