Section
1 System Overview
This section provides an overview of the MRC CodeRunner 4 Central Receiver. For a system block diagram of the receiver, see
The CodeRunner 4 Central Receiver is capable of receiving in both analog or digital mode. In the analog mode, the receiver outputs an NTSC signal with 4 audio channels, baseband, and filtered video. In digital mode, the receiver outputs a digital data stream using either an internal or external modem.
The incoming RF signal is down-converted to 70 MHz, filtered, and amplified. The output from the IF Amplifier is split into two paths:
A +5 dBm signal is routed to an analog demodulator, if one is installed.
A second –10 dBm signal is routed to the power distribution board on the RF shelf. Here the IF is switched to a direct rear panel connection. The switch is controlled from the front panel display and keypad.
Power is brought to the receiver via a rear panel receptacle mounted on the plug-in power supply. The power is routed through the rear panel backplane to the front panel display and to the power distribution board on the RF tray,
All receiver functions are controlled from the front panel display and keypad. The receiver can be controlled remotely and switched between analog or digital mode from either the local or remote location.
The front panel displays common system faults with four LED indicators for power, squelch, summary alarm, and remote/local status. Summary alarm messages appear as scrolling text on the front panel LCD, A list of summary alarms and troubleshooting guide can be found in

5 Remote Operation
The receiver can be set to operate in local or remote mode using the front panel keypad and LCD display. For the receiver to operate from a remote location, a connection must be made between the receiver and the master antenna controller or control device. This section describes how to assemble the control cable and interpret the various control states.
5.1 Local and Remote Operation
The receiver is set to local or remote mode using the front panel keypad and LCD. See
Section 3, Operating Controls on page 3-1.
When the receiver is set to local mode, the following conditions occur:
All receiver functions are controlled using the front panel keypad, and remote device commands have no effect.
If a remote device is connected to the receiver, front panel controls override any commands from the remote device. However, the remote device status outputs remain functional.
When the receiver is set to remote mode, the following conditions occur:
All receiver functions are controlled by the remote device using the interface cable.
Commands from the remote device control all functions of the receiver and override the front panel controls. If the remote device line connection should become open, the receiver remains under local mode even though the device is set to remote.
The remote setting does not force the REMOTE mode, but rather allows the remote device to determine whether the receiver will be in the local or remote mode.
If no remote device is connected to the receiver, the receiver will remain in local mode, even if the front panel controls are to set to remote.

Remote Operation
Command Inputs to the Remote Connector
5.2 Command Inputs to the Remote Connector
The remote device connects to the rear of the receiver using the remote interface connector (J7) as shown in J7 is shown in Table 5-1.
Pin functions are grouped into two categories: Control functions and Status Outputs. Commands are sent by the remote device using the following logic states:
The logic 1 is +5 V nominal (3.5 to 5.5 V).
The logic 0 is 0 V nominal (-0.5 to +0.8 V) or open. Inputs have 10 K ohm pull­down resistors to ground. +5 Vdc is available at the remote interface.
A logic level of “1” is equal to +5 V, which is supplied on Pin 10 of the Remote Interface Cable.
For remote commands to be functional, the following conditions must occur:
The front panel control must be set to the remote mode.
The remote mode command at J7 pin 8 must be set to 1.
All commands must be sustained for the duration of the desired mode.
