The AC-powered CDM-600/600L is fitted with two fuses – one each for line and neutral connections. These are contained within the body of the IEC power inlet connector, behind a small plastic flap.

For the CDM-600:

For 115 VAC operation, use T1.25A, slow-blow 20mm fuses.

For 230 VAC operation, use T0.75A, slow-blow 20mm fuses.

For the CDM-600L:

For 115 and 230 VAC operation, use T5.0A, slow-blow 20 mm fuses (P/N FS/5ASB-IEC).

The DC-powered CDM-600L is fitted with two fuses – one each for positive and negative connections. These are contained within the body of the power inlet, behind a small plastic flap.

For 38 to 60 VDC operation if the modem has no BUC power supply, use T3.15A, slow-blow 20mm fuses

For 38 to 60 VDC operation if the modem is fitted with internal BUC power supply, use T8.0A, slow-blow 20mm fuses.

FOR CONTINUED OPERATOR SAFETY, ALWAYS REPLACE THE FUSES WITH

THE CORRECT TYPE AND RATING.

CAUTION

Environmental

The CDM-600/600L must not be operated in an environment where the unit is exposed to extremes of temperature outside the ambient range 0 to 50°C (32° to 122°F), precipitation, condensation, or humid atmospheres above 95% RH, altitudes (non-pressurized) greater than 2000 meters, excessive dust or vibration, flammable gases, corrosive or explosive atmospheres.

Operation in vehicles or other transportable installations that are equipped to provide a stable environment is permitted. If such vehicles do not provide a stable environment, safety of the equipment to EN60950 may not be guaranteed.

Installation

CDM-600/600L AC Modem Installation: The installation and connection to the line supply must be made in compliance to local or national wiring codes and regulations.

CDM-600L DC Modem Installation: The DC input CDM-600L is connected to a nominal 48 VDC prime power source. The DC input is isolated from the chassis and from the DC output to the BUC if equipped with internal BUC power supply. The chassis may be connected to a local system ground using a separate wire to the ground stud on the back of the chassis. Since the DC input is isolated, either the positive or the negative side of the DC input may be common with local ground. Labeling on the back of the chassis indicates the positive and negative terminals of the input power socket.

The modem is supplied with a 2-wire power cable (CEFD part number CA/WR10327-1) with one end terminated with a connector that mates with the modem input power socket. Positive DC input is on the red wire, while negative DC input is on the black wire. The DC input connector is Molex PN 03-12-1026 with Molex PN 08-12-1222 pins.

Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive

In accordance with the Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 91/263/EEC, this equipment should not be directly connected to the Public Telecommunications Network.

Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1Overview

The CDM-600/600L Open Network Satellite Modem is intended for both Intelsat and closed network applications. Apart from the IF frequency band, the two modems are essentially identical: The CDM-600L (Figure 1-1) operates on the L-Band frequency, while the CDM-600 is the 70/140 MHz IF version of the same modem.

Figure 1-1. CDM-600/600L Open Network Satellite Modem (CDM-600L shown)

1.1.1Standard Features

The CDM-600/600L provides a wealth of standard features which go far beyond the basic requirements of the Intelsat specifications:

Low rate variable data rates – 2.4 kbps to 5.0 Mbps

Mid-rate variable data rates – 2.4 kbps to 10.0 Mbps

High-rate variable data rates – 2.4 kbps to 20.0 Mbps

Selectable 50Ω / 75Ω IF port impedance (CDM-600)

Asymmetric Loop Timing

Modulation Types – BPSK, QPSK, and OQPSK

Embedded Distant-end Monitor and Control (EDMAC) (see Note)

Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC)

Firmware – Flash Upgrading

1:1 and 1:10 redundancy switch compatibility

Introduction

MN/CDM600L.IOM

EDMAC Note: In EDMAC mode, an additional 5% overhead is combined with the traffic data (1.5% in Turbo BPSK modes, Turbo Rate 1/2 QPSK/OQPSK, and all data rates greater than 2 Mbps), which permits Monitor & Control (M&C) information to be added transparently to the user, allowing access to the distant-end modem. This mode does not require any additional cabling at either the local or distant-end modems; access to EDMAC is via the standard M&C control port.

Full M&C is possible and, importantly, the on/off status of the carrier at the distant-end carrier can be controlled. In addition, as of Firmware Ver. 1.2.0 (CDM-600L) or 1.5.0 (CDM-600) and higher, the proprietary D&I++ framing mode is available. This combines Drop & Insert (D&I) operation with a similar EDMAC link and a 2.2% overhead.

CDM-600/600L Common Features

Compliance with IESS-308 / -309/ -310 / -315 specifications, with significant features added in Closed Network modes.

Variable data rates from 2.4 kbps to 20 Mbps, in BPSK, QPSK, Offset QPSK, 8-PSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QAM modes are offered.

Viterbi, Sequential, concatenated Reed-Solomon (RS), Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM), Turbo Product Coding (TPC), and Low Density Parity Check Coding (LDPC) are provided as Forward Error Correction (FEC) options.

A full range of interface types is built-in and available on demand – no plug-in cards are required. This includes all G.703 types and D&I (both Open and Closed Network) operation.

The CDM-600/600L front panel features a Video Fluorescent Display (VFD) and keypad for local configuration and control; additionally, the unit may be remote-controlled.

CDM-600L Features

IF frequency range covers 950 to 1950 MHz, and supports external Block Upconverters (BUCs) and Low-Noise Block Downconverters (LNBs).

A programmable 13, 18, or 24V LNB power supply at the Rx IF connector center conductor, and optionally includes a 24 or 48V BUC power supply at the Tx IF connector center conductor.

A low phase noise 10 MHz reference output is available at both the Tx and Rx IF connectors for use by the BUC or LNB.

The CDM-600L is compact – 1RU high and 18 inches deep, and consumes 57 watts (typical), excluding BUC and LNB power supply loads.

CDM-600 Features

IF frequency range simultaneously covers 52-88 MHz and 104-176 MHz, and supports external Comtech EF Data RF Transceivers (CSAT-5060, KST-2000A/B).

Note: Units manufactured after February 2005 cover 50-90 MHz and 100-180 MHz. The opening screen for these enhanced operation units displays CDM-600(E)– meaning Extended IF range.

The CDM-600 is compact – 1RU high and 13.1 inches deep, and consumes only 25 Watts (typical).

Refer to Sect. 1.3 for in-depth product information and Sect. 1.5 for the CDM-600/600L Summary of Specifications.
