F1 - LOCK
This indicator shows that the demodulator is
receiving a valid digital signal and has locked
to it.
F2 - LED Signal-to-Noise Ratio Meter
Indicates the signal-to-noise ratio of the
received signal. The range is between 15 dB
and 40 dB. Threshold levels are nominally
15 dB for 8VSB, 29 db for 16VSB, 23 db for
64 QAM, and 28dB for for 256QAM. These are
minimum levels required for lock. Normal
operating levels must exceed threshold by
several dB to ensure reliable operation.
F3 - CHANNEL Selector Switch
This switch is used to enter the two or three
digit channel number. The range of numbers is
also used to determine the mode of operation.
F4 - ERROR
This indicator shows that the FEC is not able to
correct all errors in the received signal. Check
for a low signal-to-noise ratio or improper
antenna aiming if errors occur.

R1 - RF INPUT
This "F" type connector is the input for the
tuner. The DD860 will tune to all U.S.A. off air
broadcast frequencies or to standard EIA CATV
channels up to 858 MHz (channel 134).
R2 - DC Power Connector
This is the power input connector. Connect to a
Drake PS8 or equivalent power supply.
R3 - BNC Connectors (ASI output model)
These are the MPEG2 transport stream
outputs. The ASI (Asynchronous Serial
Interface) Output Impedance is 75 Ohms.
R4 - 25 Pin SPI LVDS OUTPUT Connector
(SPI output model)
This is the MPEG2 transport stream output.
The DVB Synchronous Parallel Interface levels
comply with low voltage differential signalling
specifications.

The DD860 is designed to mount into the
DRMM12 rack mounting enclosure.
The DD860 is four units wide. Power for the
DD860 should be supplied by the model PS8
power supply module which also mounts into
the DRMM12.

The DRMM12 frames should be spaced apart
vertically by at least 1 3/4" wherever possible.
Air movement is mandatory in enclosed rack
cabinets. Excessive heat will shorten
component life.

The front panel channel selection switches are
used to select the mode of demodulation, the
desired band plan (CATV or Broadcast) and the
specific channel number. Four blocks of 133
channels each are allocated to CATV channels
and two blocks of 68 channels each are
allocated for off-air broadcast frequencies.
CATV channels in 64 QAM modulation are
selected using switch settings 002 through 134.
These switch settings correspond directly to the
EIA CATV channel numbers.
CATV channels in 256 QAM modulation are
selected using switch settings 202 through 334.
To determine the switch setting, add 200 to the
13
desired EIA CATV channel number.
CATV channels in 8 VSB modulation are
1
selected using switch settings 402 through 534.
To determine the switch setting, add 400 to the
desired EIA CATV channel number.
CATV channels in 16 VSB modulation are
selected using switch settings 602 through 734.
To determine the switch setting, add 600 to the
desired EIA CATV channel number.
Off-Air Broadcast channels in 8 VSB may be
tuned by selecting channels 802 through 869.
Add 800 to the broadcast channel number that
corresponds to the actual RF transmission
channel. Do not enter the virtual channel
number, used by some broadcasters.
NOTE: IRC and HRC CATV formats are
supported by setting of an internal jumper.
