The remote control and power supply unit are not included in the scope of delivery of SKM 2-00.
They are available optionally or integrated in the basic unit of SKS x-xx.
2.2Description
The SKM 2-00 can either be operated in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. The twin
module is used to inject two standard audio and video signals of variable sound and image sources (e.g.
audio and video devices, test pattern generators, monitoring cameras etc.) via two channels in a cable
system.
Audio and video signals injected via cinch connectors of the twin modulator are modulated to an
adjustable carrier frequency.
Duct 1

The SKM 2-00 has two independent ducts. The two modulators are adjacent channel suitable.

The SKM 2-00 can either be operated in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode.
3.1Installation and connection in a headend base unit
If the SKM 2-00 should operate in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx, the twin module is plugged in the output
collection field 1 and fastened with screws. Each free slot may be used. The power supply of the module
is provided by the output collection field.
Before inserting or changing a module, pull the mains plug of the headends basic unit from the socket!
Ground the base plate in order to avoid dangerous overvoltages according to EN 50083-1, EN 6072811:2010 (attention: risk of fire/death)
For detailed information on the headend base unit, refer to whose operating instructions.

Before installing modules, the power supply must be switched off. Ground the module acc. to EN 50083-1,
EN 60728-11:2010 in order to avoid dangerous overvoltages (attention: risk of fire/death). Use the
grounding screw attached to the device (see ß in fig. 2 on page 4).
The modulation module has to be fastened to a wall or onto a flat surface. In single operation mode of the
SKM 2-00, the power supply is provided by the DC feeding socket (see 6 in fig. 2 on page 4). A separate
power supply unit SKZ 5-00 is required for it. More units are connected by means of the DC loop-through.
One DC connection cable SKZ 4-00 is included in the delivery of the SKP 2-00. Max. 4 pieces SKM 2-00
may be connected together in single operation mode.
Note
Mount the power supply unit left of the SKM 2-00 module for better ventilation.
Fig. 4Assembly and connection of a single twin module
Audio and video sources are connected to the cinch connectors at the front (see 8 in fig. 2 on page 4).
Inputs In single operation mode of the SKM 2-00, the outputs of the twin modules must be combined by
means of a splitter. The input splitters (SKV 2..8-00) in connection with F-double sockets (CFA 3-00) may
be used.
During initial operation of the SKM 2-00, the
output channels and TV standard must be set
first!
4.1.1 Selecting wire (left or right)
To be able to program the left duct of the
module, the programming selection switch
must be moved to the left.
After pressing the UHF key on the remote
control, a point lights up at the bottom right
corner of the display of the left duct.
This shows that the modulator is in
programming mode.
A test image and test sound are switched on.
4.1.2 Setting output channel
By pressing the CH / CH key, the desired
output channel may be set.
Special channels are labeled by a 2nd dot
between the digits on the display.
4.1.3 Setting TV standard
To set the TV standard, the SYS key (on the
remote control) must be pressed until the
desired TV standard is set.

4.1.4 Vernier adjustment of the output
frequency
If required the channel output frequency may
be adjusted finely. This is done by means of

4.1.5 Setting output level
By pressing the double arrow keys, the output
level of the modulator twin module may be
energized in 1dB steps. The set attenuation is
shown in the display.
The output level is 105dBuV when "20“ is
shown on display.
The output level is 85dBuV when "0“ is shown
on display.
4.1.6 Setting audio mode
The module is in mono mode by default.
By pressing the audio key of the remote control
several times, the stereo or dual mode can be
activated for the B/G standard.
The stereo or dual mode will be active only
after completing programming. The slide
switch must be in center position.
4.1.7 Finishing the programming
These settings must be saved with the OK key.
To discard settings, press the EXIT key.
Programming mode is ended. Test image and
test sound are turned off.
After finishing the programming, the
programming selection switch must be moved
to the center position.
Programming of the right duct is done
identically as for the left duct.
