The remote control and power supply unit are not included in scope of delivery of SKP 2-10. They are available optionally or integrated in the basic unit of SKS x-xx.

1.2 Description

The SKP 2-10 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 one digital SAT IF input and two RF outputs. The module include two ducts working dependently from each other. The left main channel is used to select the band, the level and the transponder. The sub channel uses the same preselected transponder as the main channel.

main channel

An SKP 2-10 module consists of a digital tuner, the digital signal processing and an two output modulators.

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..

Installation and connection

Important

The SKP 2-10 can either be operated in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. SAT ZF signals of the LNB(s) are either transmitted through a multiswitch or directly to SAT ZF inputs.

The maximum admissible current per SAT-ZT input is 250 mA.

2.1 Installation and connection in a headend base unit

If the SKP 2-10 should operate in a headend basic unit SKS x-xx, the twin module is plugged in the output collection field c and fastened with screws. Each free slot may be used. The power supply of the module is provided by the output collection field.

Notes

 For detailed information on the headend base unit, refer to whose operating instructions.

 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).

Page 7

Operation Instructions SKP 2-10 Chapter 2: Installation and connection

2.2 Single operation mode of SKP 2-10

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 12 in Fig. 2).

When using the SKP 2-10 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 5-01 means of the DC loop-through. One DC connection cable SKZ 4-00 is included in the delivery of the SKP 2-10. Max. 4 pieces SKP 2-10 may be connected together in single operation mode.

is required for it. More units are connected by

Fig. 5: Assembly and connection of up to four twin modules

In single operation mode of the SKP 2-10 the outputs of the twin cassettes must be combined together with splitters. The splitters (SKV 2..8-00) may be used in connection with F-double sockets (CFA 3-00).

3.1 First start-up

During initial operation of the SKP 2-10 one must set first all output channels and the relevant TV standard must be set!

3.1.1 Selecting duct left

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.

3.1.2 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.

3.1.3 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.
