Mounting the Compact Satellite Convertor

• Important: Mount the module vertically to a wall in a well-ventilated room and leave a minimum space of 15 cm around the product to guarantee a maximum ventilation of the product
• Connect an earth wire to the grounding clamp
• Connect the power adapter cord to the power supply socket. Check the status LED for the indication of DC power presence
• Connect the SAT inputs to the Compact Satellite Convertor
• Connect a coaxial cable to the output connector for distribution of the signal
• Optionally: connect a network analyser to the test port to control the signal quality
• Configure the Compact Satellite Convertor using the rotary button, see below
• Optionally: insert an SD card in the SD card slot to upload the configurations of a previous module or to copy the configuration to another module
• The power adapter can easily be replaced without disconnecting the product. To do so, open the top left plastic cover by pushing the click at the opposite side of the mains connector

Configuring the Compact Satellite Convertor

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.

| Scanning might take up to 30 seconds When scanning is done, the number of found transponders will be shown

If you want to change the auto scan results, you can find the selected transponders via COPY INPUT 1 in the INPUT SAT 1 menu. There they can be modified if necessary (see next page).

| DC: Decide whether the input should provide power to an LNB or external amplifier. Choose between OFF, 13V, 13V+TONE, 18V or 18V+TONE.
| TAP the rotary button to ADD TRANSPONDER. Scroll down to see the different transponder settings.
| Select the INPUT and OUTPUT frequency for transponder 1 (between 290 and 2340 MHz). This is
done digit by digit. First select the hundreds, then the tens, then the units.
| Select the BANDWIDTH, which can vary between 1 and 77 MHz (in steps of 1 MHz).
Once selected, the input LEVEL will be shown on the display.
| When all settings for transponder 1 are chosen, scroll up and tap TRANSP: 1. Scroll down to ADD
TRANSPONDER to add another transponder. Now you can also change the settings for this transponder.
| A maximum of 32 transponders can be added across all 4 SAT inputs. Adding more transponders will not be possible, the message MAXIMUM TRANSP. REACHED will show on the display

To delete a transponder, position the arrow on the transponder and press the rotary button 3 seconds.

| When you have added all the transponders to INPUT SAT 1, and you want to add transponders to the other inputs, scroll up to the top of the menu (to INPUT SAT 1), tap the button and scroll to the next input. Repeat the previous steps for all input transponders.

OUTPUT SETTINGS

dBµV (per 1 dBµV) and two isolated levels ideal for optical systems: 70 and 83 dBµV.
| Check the output via a network analyser on the -30dB test port.
Note: If you have a lot of transponders, it might be necessary to lower the output level
| A SLOPE of up to -15dB can be set to compensate for cable losses. 0dB means all channels have the same output level, -15dB means the beginning of the band is 15dB weaker than the highest frequencies of the satellite band.

Note: In the OUTPUT menu, you define the output level in dBµV of the transponders. The Compact Satellite Convertor 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 transponder.

EXIT SETTINGS

Convertor 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.
