8. ed to identify short circuits saves a lot of time possibly searching for faults once everything has been installed Ensure that connections coming from the LNB are not mixed up If you are installing a fairly large set up draw up an input level diagram before you start Make your calculations based on the amplification values given in the technical speci fications as well as the appropriate cable damping factors as set out above Try to use single uninterrupted lengths of coaxial cable to make your connections F connector plugs may cause interference of DVB signals Ensure the covers of the F connectors are secured moderately tight You should use the adjustable spanner Art No 0000 3407 Do not use snap tight F connector covers Some older models of LNB require an operating current of 12 V In this case be sure to switch on the voltage limiter provided by the LNB manufacturer between the LNB and the input of the multiswitch Distribution of terrestrial programmes gt gt Ensure that output levels are approximately equal recommended 75 dBuV Maximal 9odBuV When receiving several terrestrial channels from the same direction you can utilise one or more interference filters eg TSF 2169 2 Part No 000 6042 in order to adiust signal levels You vvill have to knovv the band allocation and use an antenna signal strength measuring instrument in order to set the levels of the interference filters in such a vvay that vveaker si
9. esistors The broad band signal is fed into the system via the FM UKW connector VHF UHF UKVV Breitband The distribution system is designed to cope vvith the damping effect of cable up to about 20 dB between LNBs and antenna connector at 2150 MHz An active diagonal plane compen sation is implemented in order to compensate for cable damping in the satellite range The high level of decoupling of the satellite signals means that damping compensators in the main line connections are not required The required level of damping can be achieved by varying the cable type dependent on the cable length The input level should be at 75 dBuV It is possible to configure the terrestrial frequency range with 42 channels in accordance with CENELEC regulations Likewise due to the carefully designed low damping system for ter restrial reception with diagonal compensation there will be no problem in future to accommo date DVB T or DVB C terrestrial or cable fed digital television 5 Installation 5 1 General gt We recommend that the star form distribution should originate in the attic or near the centre of the house building gt Should the distribution originate in the cellar basement we recommend you fit an inte rim amplifier Type 9Z between the basic unit multiswitch and the LNBs gt Please ensure that the levels of the various satellite systems are approximately equal gt We recommend particularly with relatively
