1. INTRODUCTION
Product description
The AGC & ASC Satellite & Cable Amplifier optimizes your Wideband V/H (290-2340 MHz) and Cable (87-862MHz) signal in real-time. To do so, it uses Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Automatic Slope Control (ASC).
- Automatic Gain Control on all lines (V/H/Cable) and Automatic Slope Control on both satellite lines (V/H)
- DC input for powering amplifier and LNB (Optional power supply (ref. 9933))
- Selectable between Wideband LNB (290 – 2400 MHz) and Universal LNB (950 – 2150 MHz)

2. INSTALLATION
3. CONFIGURATION OF THE PRODUCT
LNB switch:
The LNB switch lets you select the type of LNB used in your installation. The LNB selection defines the slope frequency range: Wideband LNB: 300-800MHz Universal LNB: 950-1300MHz.
Indication LEDs:
SLOPE LEDS (LED on left is for Sat V input, LED on right is for Sat H input)
SOLID RED: signal too strong: cable to short, move the amplifier further away from the source
BLINKING RED: signal too low: cable too long, move the amplifier more close to the source
SOLID GREEN: within range, signal level has the correct level
GAIN LEDS (LED on left is for Sat V input, LED in middle is for Sat H input, LED on right is for Cable input)
SOLID RED: signal too strong: cable to short, move the amplifier further away from the source
BLINKING RED: signal too low: cable too long, move the amplifier more close to the source
SOLID GREEN: within range, signal level has the correct level
BOTH GAIN and SLOPE LED should be green to guarantee that the average output level has the correct level, generally speaking RED LED (regardless its state) is not a good situation and its advisable to take steps described above
