Configuring the Profiler Revolution Lite
NAVIGATING THROUGH THE MENU
Use the Johansson rotary/push button to navigate through the menu. This is very straightforward and simple. The table below shows how the rotary/push should be used:
MENU OVERVIEW
REGION/COUNTRY SETTINGS
IMPORTANT! Before starting the configuration, it is advised to set the correct
region or country. Unpower the unit, push
the button and keep pushing the button while you repower the unit. Release the
button when the display shows “RESET FINISHED”. Now the product is reset and
will ask you to enter country or region. This will amongst others determine
the channel plan for VHF and UHF and the DC voltage for the inputs (12 or
24V).
DISPLAY READOUT EXPLANATION
To activate the correct channel frequency plan, select the country or region where the Profiler Revolution Lite is situated. Rotate to select and confirm by tapping the rotary button. The default setting is Europe. The Profiler Revolution Lite is also operational in the following countries/regions: Australia, Brazil, China, Hongkong, Italia, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, UK and the USA.
All the following menu items can be accessed without the reset procedure. Push
the rotary button for 2 seconds to access the menu
INPUT SETTINGS
DISPLAY READOUT EXPLANATION
-
Tap the rotary button to enter the INPUT FM menu. Rotate the button to navigate through the submenu.
-
To filter and amplify an FM signal, tap GAIN, select the gain of the input FM signal (15 to 35 dB) and tap to confirm. Remark: DAB should be added via V/U input 1-4.
-
After INPUT FM is configured, scroll up to the top of the menu (INPUT FM), tap the rotary button and scroll right to INPUT V/U 1. Tap INPUT V/U 1 to enter the menu to configure input 1.
-
Rotate the rotary button to scroll down in the submenu of INPUT V/U 1.
-
PRE-AMPLI: The internal amplifier is by default ON, only in case of very strong incoming signals (if the strongest channel on that input is higher than 80dBµV), it can be advised to switch this OFF.
-
DC: Decide whether the input should provide power to an external amplifier. Choose between OFF or 12 V. Remark: If the external amplifier needs 24 V, you can change this in advanced settings (see further).
-
Tap Add Channel to add the channel. Up to 6 channels can be added at once.
-
First, select the starting channel (e.g. CH5) and tap to confirm. Then select the stop channel (e.g. CH7, which means that you will add 3 channels). Tap to confirm. Then you can convert them using the rotary button (e.g. CH5 to CH7 converts to CH8 to CH10) and tap to confirm.
-
Some other examples:
To add CH5 and convert to CH6, select as follows: 5: 5 6: 6
To add CH21-22-23 and convert to CH31-32-33, select as follows: 21:23 → 31:33
Remark 1: The value 85dBµV (in the bottom right corner) indicates the incoming level of the channel. Remark 2: For the EU, Italy and New-Zealand region, Channel 13 (230-240MHz) can be used. CH13 cannot be converted.
For optimal performance, we recommend only adding single channels, unless you need to process a lot of channels.
- To add another (group of) channel(s), scroll down to ADD CHANNEL and tap to confirm. To prevent bad quality or scrambled images, make sure that only one input channel is assigned to one output channel. If 2 channels are assigned to the same output channel, a star ( ) will appear.
- The same applies for adding multiple channels. Make sure that each output channel is selected only once.
After this, the correct LTE filter will be set for the UHF inputs (possible filters are 694MHz, 790MHz or OFF). If the channels are lower than 48, the 694MHz filter is activated. The 790MHz filter is activated for the channels lower than 60.
To delete a (pair of) channel(s), position the arrow on the channel and press the rotary button for 3 seconds.
- To delete a (pair of) channel(s), position the arrow on the channel and press the rotary button for 3 seconds.
- When you have added all the channels to INPUT V/U 1, and you want to add channels to the other inputs, scroll up to the top of the menu (to INPUT V/U 1), tap the button and scroll to the next input. Repeat the previous steps for all input channels
OUTPUT SETTINGS
Define the OUTPUT LEVEL of the output signal.
The range between 88 dBµV and 108 dBµV (default output level is 105 dBµV).
Check the output via a network analyser on the -30dB test port.
Note : The more channels you select, the less input power you should give
(e.g. 99 dBµV for 10 channels). A SLOPE of up to -15dB can be set between the
beginning of BIII and the end of UHF to compensate for cable losses. 0dB means
all channels have the same output level (see previous display readout), and
-15dB means the beginning of BIII (174MHz) is 15dB weaker than the end of UHF.
VHF ATTN: To compensate for cable losses, an attenuator of up to 15 dB
can be configured to decrease the VHF and DAB output level (compared to the
UHF output level).
Note: In the OUTPUT menu, you define the output level in dBµV of the MUXs. The Profiler Revolution has enough gain to guarantee this output level under all input conditions. In case a slope has been set, the output level indicated on the display will be the output level of the highest frequency MUX.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
- The language of the Profiler Revolution can be set to English, Italian, Spanish or French
- Tap REGION to check to which region/country the Profiler Revolution is set. To change the region/country, a hard reset is required (see instructions above (cfr. REGION/COUNTRY SETTINGS)
- Define DC VOLTAGE for the inputs, and choose between 12V or 24V. This is a global setting for all inputs, each input can then be switched between OFF or this value. (cf. STEP 2). All countries are set by default on 24V, except UK which is set by default on 12V.
- the filter bandwidth can be changed from -2000 kHz to 0 kHz in steps of 250 kHz.
- This allows you to optimize the bandwidth of your filter. For instance, a European 8 MHz channel can be changed from 6 to 8 MHz. The default setting is -1000 kHz, which is an optimal setting in 95% of the cases.
- tap FW VERSION to check the firmware version of the device. Tap SERIAL NUMBER to check the serial number of the device. To format the SD CARD, tap FORMAT CARD
SD CARD SETTINGS
- To upload settings from an SD card, tap LOAD SD PRESET. This will copy the configuration file from the SD CARD to the device.
- To save the device settings on the SD CARD, go to SAVE SD PRESET and tap on CREATE PRESET.
- It is possible to create multiple presets. Therefore, tap CREATE PRESET after each modification of the settings. To delete all presets, press DELETE ALL.
EXIT SETTINGS
- To avoid unauthorized people changing the settings, all Profiler products can be locked with a security code.
- Select LOCK and SET LOCK CODE.
- When the lock code is set, the device will shut down. When you restart the device, you will now have to enter the correct lock code. Remark: If you forgot the lock code, you can always use the value 50. This master code is fixed and cannot be changed.
- If you do not want to work with a lock code, go to EXIT and tap NO LOCK.
