2.1 Scope of delivery

• 1 × Twin QPSK-PAL module SKP 2-00

• 1 × DC connection cable SKZ 4-00

• 1 × operating manual The remote control and power supply unit are not included in scope of delivery of SKP 2-00. They

are available optionally or integrated in the basic unit of SKS x-xx.

2.2 Description

The SKP 2-00 can either be operated in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode.The Twin cassette modules are QPSK converters, that convert all programs modulated according to the DVB-S standard and QPSK in two PAL modulated cable signals. Each module has two digital SAT IF inputs and two RF outputs. The modules include two ducts working independently from each other. A duct comprises a digital tuner, the digital signal processing and an output modulator.

Duct 1

Fig. 1 SKP 2-00 - front view

The ducts can decode scrambled programs using a CA module. The programming of the modules is done separately for each duct. Each duct can be levelled via OSD menu (on screen display). Processed input signals are led to the active output combiner of the headend through RF output connectors.

3 Installation and connection

The SKP 2-00 can either be operated in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. SAT IF signals of the LNB(s) are either provided through optionally available input splitters or directly to SAT IF inputs.

3.1 Installation and connection in a headend base unit

If the SKP 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.

3.2 Single operation mode of SKP 2-00

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 ã fig. 2 on page 5).

When using the SKP 2-00 in single operation mode, the power is supplied via the DC socket (see 9 in fig. 2 on page 5). 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 SKP 2-00 may be connected together in single operation mode.

4.1 First start-up

During initial operation of the SKP 2-00 one must set first all output channels and the relevant TV standard must be set!

4.1.1 Selecting duct (left or right)

To be able to program the left duct of the Twin 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.

• If a Quattro LNB is connected, the LNB supply of all connected ducts must be set to "Normal".

• If an input distributor is used, the left duct of the first magazine on the front left side always is responsible for the power supply of the LNB connected to this input distributor. To do so, the LNB supply in the "Configuration" menu must be set to "Normal". All the other SKP 2-00 connected to this input distributor must be set to "Power off".

• Even in case of multi switch solution, only one duct may take control over the multi switch output connected to the input distributor.

Special values can be entered directly via the numerical field on the remote control. With activated DiSEqC control, the respective satellite 1 to 4 is selected with Sat ID. After entering the transponder data, the search is started by pressing on scan.
