Linear H511BID Owner's Manual

ChannelPlus Channel Injector

The H511 channel injectorcreates a new channel toadd to existing television channels.

The H511 is designed to work with an existing installation without the need to add additional hardware

CAT-5 video

Connect to a camera or wall plate using only method:
1 Terminate cable with a CAT-5 jack and connect to the H511 using

supplied RJ45 jumper. (Also see example H628 manual).

2 Wire camera or wall plate directly to the 8 position terminal block

matching the CAT-5 wire colors to the colors on the terminal block.
Insert wires and tighten screws

Programming the H511

Program the new channel using the push button to enter channel digits into the
H511. This new channel should be an unused channel. It should have no interference or
trace of a picture - just “snow”. There must also be one unused channel both above and
below the selected channel to avoid interference. Below is a simple step by step example
of how to program a channel - cable channel :

The H511 was designed to work with CAT-5 wiring. Although the system will function with quad

*

wire, CAT-5 delivers the highest quality picture. CAT-5 allows the use of an automatic line length
sensor and picture compensator. Quad wire does not take advantage of this enhancement.

Things To Watch For:

No picture

the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the TV is on UHF 16 rather than CATV

16. UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies. Also ... Make sure the H511 and camera or
wall plate are wired properly - CAT-5 colors must match connector colors.

Weak ChannelPlus UHF channel

Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines):

channel number that is not completely vacant. Distant UHF stations may not be watchable, but will
cause interference if you try to create a new channel at the same frequency. Also, cable companies
often have extra signals where there should be none. Try moving the modulator channel to another
number. You may have to add a low pass filter to remove the cable company noise. If the filter does
not work, try adding a DC-block to remove common mode interference.

Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulated channel (disappears when
you remove the CATV/antenna feed)

signals. Often, you can cure the problem with a simple attenuator. Use a variable attenuator and try to
find a signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station is far
stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator may cause
the desired stations to be weak (snowy). You must reduce the strength of the only offending station. A
common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby TV station,
often the station management can provide suitable filters.

Audio volume is low

level, both right and left inputs must be used. If you have a mono source, connect it to both right and
left inputs using an RCA ‘Y’ connector.

No color on ChannelPlus channels

televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the H and I cable
standards. See the section on programming.

Cable HRC and IRC considerations:
Most cable services use standard or IRC frequency assignments. This is the default for the
H511. However, if the cable services use HRC or the TV appears to search for the “created
channel”, program the channel injector for HRC.

For HRC enter a 98. Reset to IRC by entering 99.

Entries 98 and 99 are for setting HRC or IRC only. They do not change the channel number.

CAT-5 Cable Length Limitations:

The length of the CAT-5 cable that runs between the H511 and the camera or wall plate is
limited. See the individual camera or wall plate manuals for these CAT-5 cable run limitations.

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2)
THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY
CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.

Installation requirements:

FCC classifies this product under part 15 of its rules as a “television interface device”.
Systems designed using television interface devices have the following legal requirements:

1) The modulated channel signal strength may not exceed 15.56dBmV at any television.

Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(b)(1)(i).

2) If an antenna is used in the system, the modulated channel signal strength may not exceed -51dBmV at the
antenna input port.

For the Installer:

Any system you design must comply with these regulations. As the installer, you are responsible. The H511 has
the necessary characteristics to comply with the above requirements as designed without additional accessories.
The H511HHR is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems.
The H511BID is suitable for use with CATV systems only.

Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(c)(4).
