INTRODUCTION

Product description

The Johansson Profino Revolution Lite is an easy to use programmable filter amplifier and convertor for terrestrial signals. The module optimizes terrestrial VHF/UHF signals from multiple inputs. The state-of-the-art programmable filter amplifier has no equivalent on the market due to its revolutionary technology:

Configuring the Profino 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:

| Push the button 2s to enter the basic configuration Push the button to confirm your selections.
---|---
2.| When rotating the button, you scroll through the different screens.

MENU OVERVIEW

****	CHANNEL SCAN	INPUT V/U 1 – 3	OUTPUT	ADVANCED	EXIT	****

REGION/COUNTRY SETTINGS
IMPORTANT! Before starting the configuration, it is advised to set the correct region or country. Unpowered 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 USA.

All the following menu items can be accessed without the reset procedure.
Push the rotary button for 2 seconds to access the menu
CHANNEL SCAN

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION

| Tap the rotary button to enter the channel scan menu
****| Scroll down to START and tap the rotary button to start scanning Scanning can take up to 1 minute When scanning is finished, the number of detected channels will be displayed. Manual changes can still be done afterwards via the Input settings (next section) Tap the rotary button to proceed in the menu

| Sometimes, there can be transponders on the same frequency coming from different antennas (e.g. CH40 is detected on input 1 and input 2). These are called duplicate channels.
DUPLICATCH = When duplicate channels is ON, the weakest of a pair of duplicate channels will be transferred to the LTE band. The strongest of the pair keep its frequency at the output
When duplicate channels is OFF, the weakest of a pair of duplicate channels will be rejected.
When REPOWER is ON, the device will do a rescan after a power interruption of 6 seconds or less. If a power interruption takes longer than 6 seconds, channel settings will not change.
When REPOWER is OFF, the device will never automatically rescan.

INPUT SETTINGS

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION

| 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 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, this 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 è 6: 6
To add CH21-22-23 and convert to CH31-32-33, select as follows: 21:23 è 31:33

. ****

| Remark 1 : The value 85dBµV (in the bottom right corner) indicates the incoming level of the channel. Remark 2: For EU, Italy and New-Zealand region, Channel 13 (230-240MHz) can be used. CH13 cannot be converted.
Remark 3: A star (Û) will appear when converting to a different channel bandwidth: e.g. from a 7MHz channel to an 8 MHz channel
| 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.
****| To delete a (pair of) channel(s), position the arrow on the channel and press the rotary button 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

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION

| Define the OUTPUT LEVEL of the output signal. Range between 88 dBµV and 108 dBµV (default output level is 98 dBµV).
Note: The more channels you select, the less input power you should give (e.g. 99 dBµV for 10 channels).
| VHF ATTN: To compensate for cable losses, an attenuator of up to 15 dB can be configured to decrease the VHF (up to 300MHz) output level (compared to the UHF output level (above 300MHz)).

Note: In the OUTPUT menu, you define the output level in dBµV of the MUX’s. The Profiler Revolution has enough gain to guarantee this output level under all input conditions.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION

| 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, choose between 12V or 24V. This is a global setting for all inputs, each input can then be switched between OFF or this value. (cfr. 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 -750 kHz, which is an optimal setting in 95% of the cases.
**| S-Band channels can be activated in Advanced Mode. By default, they are not activated.
See NOTE below for more explanation.
**| **** 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.

Note: You can convert any single input Channel, to any output Channel position (including output S-channels). But you can only convert a group of input channels to a group of output channels with the same channel spacing.
Some examples:

21:23 → 31:33 Can be converted because groups of channels have same channel spacing Can be converted because single channel conversion
07:07 → S15:15 Can be converted because single channel conversion
07:07 → S35:35 (Even though channel spacing and bandwidth is different)
07:08 → S35:36 Can’t be converted because groups of channels have different channel spacing

EXIT SETTINGS

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION

| 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.
