IMPORTANT!!
WARNING: Holland Electronics LLC does NOT represent this product to be WATERPROOFED. To reduce risk of
electrical shock, fire hazard, or damage to the unit, do not expose to
rain or moisture.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
NOTE TO INSTALLER: This reminder calls the system installer’s attention to Article 820-22 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE

Specifications
Description
The HMA-860H is a microprocessor controlled
rebroadcast quality, phase locked loop synthesized,
frequency agile CATV television modulator. The
double conversion and superior SAW filtering provides
adjacent channel compatibility and spurious free
output. The HMA-860H provides 60dB output level
frequencies. The channelization configuration can
be changed by the up/down buttons located on the
front panel. The modulator is shipped with all internal
adjustments preset and FCC Docket 21006 offsets are
standard. The unit conforms to FCC Docket 21006
for frequency accuracy.

Installation Procedure
Adherence to these precautions will help prevent
problems during initial installation of the HMA-860H.
1. Connect the I.F. jumper from the I.F. output to the
I.F. input on the rear panel. Connect I.F. jumper
from the V.I.F. output to the V.I.F. input. Connect
I.F. jumper from the S.I.F. output to the S.I.F. input.
2. Connect the HMA-860H to a 100 - 240 VAC grounded
receptacle. Observe the lit LED light indicating
power is on.
3. Using a signal level meter or spectrum analyzer,
set the output level.
4. Check the aural carrier level. It should be set at 15
dBmv below the video carrier.
5. Connect a 1.0 volt peak-to-peak video source to
the “VIDEO IN” on rear panel. Connect the
HMA-860H “RF OUT” to a TV set, and compare
the contrast and brightness to a known signal (use
off-air signal to insure a proper modulation level).
If necessary, adjust the video modulation until
proper contrast is observed.
6. Connect an audio source to the “AUDIO IN” on
rear of the unit. Set audio modulation (peak
deviation) to 25 kHz with the audio modulation
adjustment. A known off-air signal and a TV may
be used to set adjustment for equal audio level.
WARNING: When connecting the HMA-860H from the
rear panel “RF OUT” directly to a TV set,
attenuate the output sufficiently to prevent
overdriving the TV or use the -30dB front panel
test point for monitoring the modulator output.
7. Connect the “RF OUTPUT” to a proper combining
network.

requires that cable system modulators which operate
in the aircraft communications and navigation bands
be offset in frequency by 12.5/25.0kHz. The HMA-860H
