Specifications
Description
The HPH-860AD is a frequency agile, microprocessor
controlled, heterodyne signal processor which uses
the latest low noise, PLL, SAW filter and AGC
techniques to provide superior quality and
performance at an attractive low price. The
HPH-860AD has been specifically designed to
produce the highest quality pictures at extremely low
inputs while maintaining stable output levels with its
sync tip AGC circuit. High input capability and SAW
filtering provide the unit with the ability to process a
single cable channel even in the presence of an
adjacent channel. High frequency Phase Locked Loop
oscillators allow the unit to meet the frequency offset
and stability requirements of FCC Docket 21006.
Features
• Microprocessor controlled
• High output : 60 dBmV, 57 dBmV minimum
• SAW filtered
• Spurious outputs down >-60 dB
• Adjacent channel rejection of -60 dBc
• Superior low noise circuitry
• Sync tip AGC for precise signal regulation
• BTSC stereo signal compatible
• 44/45.75 MHz IF loop-thru
• Output capability to 860 MHz
• Five year limited warranty

Installation Procedure
1. Connect the I.F. jumper from the I. F. output to the
I.F. input on the HPH-860AD rear panel.
2. Insert power plug into a surge protected 90 - 260
VAC outlet. Observe the lit POWER LED light
indicating power is on.
3. Connect a spectrum analyzer or field strength
meter to the processor RF OUT port.
4. Connect a RF signal source to RF IN port. Signal
level should be ~5 – 25 dBmV for Analog and 0 –
25 dBmV for Digital. Set the switch on the rear of
the unit to Digital or Analog depending on what the
desired input format may be.
5. Set the HPH-860AD desired input channel Mode
and Number. (see page 5)
6. Set the HPH-860AD desired output channel Mode
and Number. (see page 5)
7. Turn the OUTPUT LEVEL adjustment on the front
panel of the processor to set the desired output
level.
8. Turn the AURAL CARRIER adjustment to set the
audio carrier 12 - 17 dB below the video carrier.
(For Analog signals only)
9. Remove the analyzer or field strength meter from
the processor RF OUT port.
10. Connect the processor RF OUT port to a
television/monitor. (Make sure to use the proper
size attenuator between the processor and the
television/monitor in order to avoid overdriving the
television/monitor.) ( For Digital signals an ATSC
receiver may need to be used between
HPH-860AD and the TV/Monitor)
11. Verify that the television/monitor picture is of good
quality for viewing.
12. Remove the television/monitor and attenuator
from the processor RF OUT port.
13. Connect the processor RF OUT port to the RF
input of the head-end system.
