Important safety instructions

General installation conditions

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the apparatus.
10. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Warning

• Reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as glasses, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Safe operation

• Power requirements for this product are: 110-230V~ 50/60 Hz.
• To disconnect the equipment from the mains pull the plug never the cable.
• It is strongly recommended not to connect the equipment to the mains until all connections have been done.
• The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Do not take the cover off the equipment without disconnecting it from the mains.

Safe installation

• Ambient temperature should not be higher than 45°C / 113°F.
• Do not place the equipment near heat sources or in a highly humid environment.
• Do not place the equipment in a place where it can suffer vibrations or shocks.
• Please allow air circulation around the equipment.
• Do not place naked flames, such as lighted candles on or near the product.
• To prevent water ingress into the input connectors, do a loop in the coaxial  cables before connecting them to the amplifier. By doing so, any water that may be pooled will not slide  down through the cable into the connector.

Description of the electrical safety symbols

•  To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not open the equipment.
  

• The equipment meets the safety requirements specified for Class II equipment with functional earthing.

• This symbol identify a functional earthing.

• To identify electrical equipment designed primarily for indoor use.

Introduction

• Programmable amplification headend with digital filtering and processing for use in both individual and collective installations, characterized by: ease of installation, large input range, low consumption powering, large selectivity and high gain.
• It has 4 programmable VHF+UHF inputs up to a maximum of 32 filters, with AGC, with automatic/programmable powering capable of withstanding short-circuits and Auto-LTE filtering (only ref. 532180).
• Ref. 532182 allows you to configure each input for analog or digital signals. In the case of analog signals, the input will not have AGC.
• ach of the 32 filters has a high selectivity that allows the balancing of adjacent channels. It has individual AGC and it can be programmed for filtering any VHF low (2 to 6), VHF high (7 to 13) and UHF (14 to 51) channel. In ref. 532182, VHF Low channel filtering is only available for digital signals.
• It is allowed to group 1 to 4 channels for each filter, provided they are adjacent in frequency.
• he programmed channels in a filter can be converted to different output channels for both VHF and UHF.
• he channels are automatically balanced according to the programmed output level and equalization slope.
• The FM output level will be adjusted according to the programmed VHF/UHF output level.
• The unit has a programmable gain and slope CATV input.
• Ref. 532182 allows selection of CATV as the output channeling. In this case the filtering would be individual.
• T he programming is done easily through the Televise universal programmer, a Windows PC or Android Smartphone / Tablet with USB OTG.

Configuration and adjustment

• Through the PCT – programmer unit: select the appropriate parameters for the installation (channels, output level, equalization slope…) and press the ∎ button (long press) which saves the configuration and starts the setting. If programming is done before installation, with the removal of the programmer the process is avoided but the configuration is recorded for later adjustment.
• Through the A Suite application: select the appropriate parameters and press the UPPER button to send the configuration to the unit. Pressing the button will start the adjustment process.
• Through the “READJUST” button starts the process of setting the unit with the configuration previously stored by the programmer or the applications.
• Inputs and outputs must be charged for the correct setting of the unit.
• During the adjustment process, the green LED remains ON and in case of a level error the red LED will light up.

IMPORTANT WARNING:
The Avant X unit ships with a 75 ohm terminator load connected to the TV+CATV output (7). It is important to make sure that this load remains connected to the TV+CATV output (7) during the adjustment process. The Avant X adjusts the gain of the filters by measuring the level detected at the main TV+CATV (7) output and it needs to be loaded for the reading to be accurate. If the TV+CATV (7) output is not terminated during the adjustment process, mismatches would occur and the results of the adjustment will not be satisfactory.

NOTES:

1. CATV mode only allows programming individual channels. Ref. 532182 only.
2. To erase the select channel press  DOT  for 3 seconds in the V/UHF 1 … V/UHF 4 menus.  From the rest of the menus you enter the extended menu.
3. Filter OFFSET are only accessible after you have gone through the RECORDING and ADJUSTMENT process.

Application

1. I f the adjustment screen shows any bars falling short of the desired programmed value in one or several programmed filters, that’s indicative of the corresponding input RF signal being lower than the minimum input value required (-20 dBV). In this case, it can not be guaranteed they will function properly through the Avant X and these channels may be impaired with errors.
2. NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
   • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
   • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
   • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
   • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
