The GaAs hybrid amplifier PAMP 4
This hybrid amplifier has been designed according to the
latest GaAs technology.
It comprises 4 Interstage RF inputs, 1 measuring RF output
(–30 dB), and 1 RF output.
The level of each of the 4 inputs can be adjusted with the
associated level control.
Due to the different cable loss over the frequency range of
the cable system, the equalization can be adjusted with the
associated control.
The output level at the RF output of the hybrid amplifer can be
reduced by about –20 dB with the associated control.

Expert installation of the IEC coaxial
right-angle plug and the coaxial cable
Note :
For the installation, only coaxial cables with a minimum
diameter of 6.8 mm and a maximum diameter of 7.2 mm
must be used.
1 Remove the outer insulation, the screening, and the inner
conductor of the coaxial cable accurately to the size, and
then fit the screening of the coaxial cable over the outer
insulation (see Fig. 1).
2 Slide the coaxial cable into the right-angle plug, press the
inner conductor of the coaxial cable into the contact slot of
the right-angle plug, and finally use an appropriate soldering iron to solder together the parts (see Fig. 2).
3 Use appropriate crimp pliers to firmly press together the
metal shoe (arrow) of the right-angle plug (see Fig. 3).
Press the enclosed cover into the opening of the right-angle
plug.
Recommendation:
Appropriate crimp pliers with the required inserts can be
purchased from:

PREPARATION
________________________________________________
Lowering the output level
If you need a lower output level, but want to retain the noisevoltage ratio, you can change the jumpers as shown below.
1 Use a Torx screwdriver (TX6) to remove the 10 screws and
take off the top of the housing.
2 Plug in the jumpers as shown below.
– Signal path a – the push-pull amplifier is switched off
(factory setting).
3 Attach the upper housing again and screw it on.

INSTALLATION, CONNECTING
_____________
Installing the hybrid amplifier into a professional satellite unit and connecting it
Important!
Due to its rather high power, it is not allowed to
use the hybrid amplifier inside the professional
satellite unit STC 332.
Attention!
Before installing or replacing the hybrid amplifier, satellite boxes, or the power supply and
control unit, it is absolutely necessary to disconnect the power supply plug of the professional satellite unit (headend) from the wall outlet.
1 Connect the IEC plug of the enclosed screened lead with the
HF socket (+24 V) on the back of the hybrid amplifier, and
the other end of the lead with the »+24 V
---
––
« contact on
the backplane of the professional satellite unit (see Figure).
2 Installl the hybrid amplifier into the plug-in location next to
the power supply and control unit of the professional
satellite unit, and then fix it with the screws to the mounting
frame.
3 Connect the RF output sockets (output collector) of the
professional satellite unit with the RF input sockets of the
hybrid amplifier using RF cables.
Note:
Terminate not used inputs of the hybrid amplifier with 75 Ω
resistors.
4 Connect the power supply plug of the professional satellite
unit with a wall outlet (220-240 V
~, 50/60 Hz).
Important!
The professional satellite unit is only completely separated from the mains voltage by pulling the power supply plug.

Setting up the hybrid amplifier
Important!
Precondition for the setup of the hybrid amplifier is a
correct installation, connection, setup and level adjustment
of the satellite boxes fitted in the professional satellite unit.
1 Turn all 6 level controls of the hybrid amplifier clockwise to
their right end stop (= maximum level).
2 Connect a measuring receiver to the RF output of the hybrid
amplifier.
3 Measure the RF output level of the hybrid amplifier, and
then adjust the required output level using the output
level control.
4 Measure the output level (amplification) of every connected
RF input, and then adjust the same level using the associated
input level controls.
Please observe the followingindoing this:
The nominal value is the output level of the analog TV
channels.
– Adjust the output levels of digital TV channels (64 QAM)
about 6 to 10 dB lower.
– Adjust the output levels of FM radio programmes about
10 dB lower.
5 Adjust the RF output level of the hybrid amplifier using the
output level control.
6 Onlyifapplicable:
It is possible to adjust the equlization of the cable
system’s cable loss using the »EQUALIZATION« control.
