OPERATIONAL SETUP - RF

The upconverter accepts four separate return inputs, one from each of the four band input ports. It up-converts
three of them to three different bands, and combines them with one un-converted band. This combination of
four bands plus a pilot carrier at 4.5MHz is fed to the RF Out port on the rear of the unit.
If the OTUC-400 is installed properly , the frequencies of the four bands and their relationship to the four band
input ports are as follows:

BAND ONE 5MHz to 42MHz
BAND TWO 51.5MHz to 88.5MHz
BAND THREE 121.5MHz to 158.5MHz
BAND FOUR 169.5MHz to 206.5MHz

The specification for MAXIMUM carrier level into each converter band is defined as +15dBmV per (CW)
carrier with six carriers present (or 35MHz used). For best return optical system performance, the input level
should be a MINIMUM of +12dBmV per (CW) carrier with six carriers present. The carrier levels may be
adjusted as necessary to provide channel-loading equivalent to the six-carrier levels.
