CHANNEL VISION P-0321 Digital Cable Combiner Instructions

CHANNEL VISION P-0321 Digital Cable Combiner Instructions

The P-0321 allows you to integrate modulated signals into a digital cable system without using an RF filter. This allows several modulated channels to be integrated with a full digital cable feed without requiring any digital programming to be filtered out.

Features:

• Enables modulation into a digital cable system without using a filter
• Built-in IR repeating system
• Easy installation
• Remote control and IR coax adaptor with IR receiver included

Included Accessories

Basic Application

Connect the P-0321 as shown and locate it at the main distribution point in the house. The output of the P-0321 will send both CATV and the modulator’s output to the TV location over a single coax cable. Switching between the CATV and modulator signals is simple: just point the remote at an IR receiver connected to the coax-based IR system and the IR signal will travel back to the P-0321 and change it to the desired input.

Connecting the Digital Cable Box to the TV

For best results, use a 2-way RF splitter to feed the RF inputs of the CATV box and the TV set. Then use RCA cables to connect the audio/video outputs from the CATV box to the audio/video inputs of the TV.

How to Use the System

To watch the CATV box, select “CATV” on the remote control and then select the A/V input on the TV.

To watch the modulated channels, select “Modulator” on the remote control, then select the RF input on the TV and tune to the modulated channel with the TV remote control.

Using the P-0321 with the E-Series IR Modulators
When connected as shown below, IR signals will pass through the P-0321 and travel back to the IR emitter outputs on the E42001R. This allows you to utilize the built-in IR repeating system to control source components such as satellite receivers and DVD players.

Systems with Multiple Digital CATV Boxes

To create systems with multiple locations, simply split the output of the modulator and the CATV feed, then connect the outputs of the splitters to each P-0321. For larger systems, use splitters with more outputs.

Troubleshooting

If your IR system is not working, check to see if the P-0321 is feeding approximately 12 Volts DC onto the coax between the shield and center pin. (Any voltage between 8-12VDC is OK). If there is no voltage between the center pin and shield, check the connectors on each end of the coax.

If you are using an RF splitter between the modulator and the P-0321 or between the P-0321 and the IR coax adaptor (IR-4101 ), check to make sure you have approximately 8-12 Volts DC on the coax going into the IR-4101. If there is no voltage at that point, check the following items:

1. Make sure you are using a DC passing splitter. Traditional splitters will short out DC voltage traveling on the coax and prevent your IR system from working.
2. Make sure that there are DC blocks (model 3109) on any output from the RF splitter that will not be connected to an IR-4101. If outputs from the splitter are connected directly to TV sets without going through a IR-4101 or DC block, the system voltage will be shorted out by the input of the TV set.
3. Double check the fittings at the end of your coax cables. If a little bit of shielding is touching the center pin, the voltage will be shorted out and the system will not work.
4. Don’t worry. The IR engine has a current limiting circuit. If the engine is shorted (due to a bad connection or a non-DC passing splitter) nothing will be harmed.
