• Switch off facility operating voltage or pull out mains plug before starting assembly or service work.

• Facility assembly: In dust-free, dry environment, protected against humidity, vapors, splash water and moisture. In a location protected against solar radiation. Not within close distance of heat sources. In ambient temperature of <50°C.

• Ensure sufficient ventilation of the device. Do not cover the ventilation slots! - Avoid short circuits!

• Damages arising from incorrect connection and/or improper operation are excluded from any liability.

• Please observe all relevant standards, regulations and guidelines regarding installation and operation of antenna facilities.

• Ground SAT earth stations using equipotential bonding rails according to EN 50083-1, EN 60728-11:2010.

2.1 Scope of delivery

• 1 × 8PSK/QPSK-QAM twin module SKQ 2-01

• 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 SKQ 2-01. They

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

2.2 Description

The SKQ 2-01 can either be operated in a head ends basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. The Remux transmodular twin modules are 8PSK/QPSK converters that convert all programs modulated according to the DVB-S standard in QAM modulated cable signals. Each module has two digital SAT-ZF inputs and two HF outputs. The twin modules include two ducts working independently from each other. A duct comprises a digital tuner, the digital signal processing and an output modulator.

Fig. 1 SKQ 2-01 - front view

The ducts (1 and 2) can decode encoded programs using a CA module. The twin module programming is realized individually in each duct and via an OSD menu (On Screen Display). Processed input signals are led to the output collection field of the basic units through HF output connectors.

3 Installation and connection

The SKQ 2-01 can either be operated in a head ends basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. SAT ZF signals of the LNB(s) are either provided through optionally available input distributors, a multiswitch or directly to SAT ZF inputs.

3.1 Installation and connection in a headend base unit

If you want to operate the SKQ 2-01 on a head ends basic unit SKS x-xx, plug the twin module into the output collection field 1 and fasten it by screws. Each free slot may be used. The power supply unit SKZ 5-00 or SKZ 6-00 supplies the module via the output connection field.

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 head ends basic unit from the socket! To avoid dangerous overvoltages, (attention: risk of fire/death), the base plate must be grounded according to EN 50083-1, EN 60728-11:2010.

3.2 Single operation mode of SKQ 2-01

Before installing modules, the power supply must be switched off. To avoid dangerous overvoltages, (attention: risk of fire/death), the head-end cassette must be grounded according to EN 50083-1, EN 60728-11:2010. Use the grounding screw attached to the device (see ã in fig. 2 on page 5).

In single operation mode of the SKQ 2-01, the power supply is provided by DC injection 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 each is included in the scope of delivery of SKQ 2-01. Max. 4 pieces SKQ 2-01 may be connected together in single operation mode.

MPEG22 SD monitor

Using this setting the SD-program is shown via analogue output, which has been confirmed in channel list by pressing the OK button.

4.5.4 TSId output:

This function is predominantly used with CA modules or in the DVB-T mode.

If the available PIDs of the CA module or the available output data rate in the DVB-T mode are exceeded, the channels of a transponder must be divided. During the search, some receivers skip channels with duplicated TSIds.

A new TSId can be manually assigned to the divided programs by means of the TSId output function. As-delivered, the TSId output is set to Auto, i.e., the receiving transponder passes on the TSId 1 to 1.

Page 11

Programming

SKQ 2-01

If the device is adjusted manually, 1 is assigned to the left channel strip and 2 is assigned to the right channel strip.

This allows the TV set to accurately identify the divided programs of a transponder during the channel search.

Select menu item "TSId output" and press OK to confirm.

To set the Id, press the VOL

displayed.

LCN (logical channel numbering)

In channel list, programs are numbered continously.

This numbers can be edited by the help of the keys in number field of the remote control.

With it a new mapping of programs can be done. The end device must support the LCNfunction. For example "BBC" program place LC01, "CNN" program place LC02.

Up to 99 program places can be allocated overlapping the units.

If the allocation shell be deleted, the 0 on the key field of remote control has to be pressed twice. It must be confirmed by the OK button.

Change to the main menu and then to the "Modulator" menu by pressing the menu key.

It is also possible to transmit all programs of a transponder depending on the setting in the "Modulator menu" in the item "DVB-C constellation". The option to transmit a complete transponder depends on the data rate, the number and the modulation depth of the individual programs (see 4.7 Modulator on page 13.).

Select the menu item “Modulator” and confirm with OK.

Fig. 23 Modulator menu

At the bottom of the modulator menu a bar appears after approx. 5 seconds.

The bar shows the work load of the output channel in percent. The work load depends on the selected output channel (7 or 8MHz), the DVB-C constellation settings (QAM 32 to QAM

256) and the number of previously selected

programs in the channel list.

Since the data rate changes permanently depending on the content of the image, the rate should not exceed 80%. Otherwise, image interferences such as mosaic pictures may appear.

The channel number is displayed on the module.

If a special channel is selected, a point is displayed between the two digits on the module display.

4.7.3 DVB-C symbol rate

Use the numerical keypad to enter the DVB-C symbol rate from 1000 to 8000.

For channels using a bandwith of 8MHz, 6900 is the most common symbol rate in German cable networks.

Channels S02-S10, 5-12 and S11-S20, having

a specified bandwith of 7 MHz, can not be driven using the setting 6900 for adjacent channels.

If even so adjacent channels shell be driven in this area, the symbol rate must be reduced. For example to 6111.

The DVB-C receiver used in the network must

be set to the same symbol rate and DVB-C modulation as the SKQ 2-01.

If the displayed data rate exceeds 80%, change to a 8 MHz channel (if a 7 MHz channel was selected previously) or increase the modulation rate. With QAM 256 the largest amount of data can be transmitted. If this is not enough, delete one or more programs from the channel list, but this is not necessary with QAM

256.

4.7.1 Output channel (CCIR)
