Red LED for 18 V
This LED will be illuminated, if on the coaxial line is
present a 18 V supply voltage. If in addition, a 22 kHz
switching signal is superimposed on the 18 V supply
voltage, this LED will flash.
[4] V ( 13 V )
Green LED for 13 V
This LED will be illuminated, if on the coaxial line is
present a 13 V supply voltage. If in addition, a 22 kHz
switching signal is superimposed on the 13 V supply
voltage, this LED will flash.
[5] DC INPUT
DC power supply adapter jack
Jack to connect external DC power supply (13-18 V / 120

1.- Separate the installation section that is desired to check
from the general panel or from one of the jack outlets of
the TV signal distribution network.
2.- Connect the
ends from section under test, and use the TV level meter
(RF input) on the other.
3.- Select on
amplifiers in the line, an output level (LOW) or (HIGH) by
means of the attenuation selector switch [2 ].
4.- Turns on the level meter, to select the representation of
the spectrum in the whole band (
maximum a 110 dB reference level.
5.- Verify on the TV level meter screen the presence of the
three pilot frequencies generated by the
as the received signal level to evaluate the attenuation
value from line.
6.- Tune on the level meter a pilot IF frequency (1050 MHz,
1575 MHz or 2100 MHz) on L band. On the level meter
screen on TV mode, there must be visible a picture with two
black and one white bar (See

If, in addition, the level meter sound is tuned to 7.02 MHz
(± 0.2 MHz), a tone of approximately 1 kHz will be audible
in the TV level meter.
Consequently, the correct equalisation of the selected
installation section will be able to be verified.

band
REMARK:
The activation of the altennuator [2] aside from
affecting the video carriers output level could cause
a small offset on the tuned frequencies (<1%). In
order to compensate this frequency offset you are
recommended to tune the TV level meter again
whenever the selector switch [2] changes between
the LOW and HIGH position.

3.2.2 SAT-receiver test
Figure 3.-
1.- Connect jack [1] RECEIVER to the
(SAT-antenna input) of the SAT-receiver to be tested.
2.- Connect SAT-receiver and television set (SCART-socket or RF-
connector).
3.- Switch on SAT-receiver and television set, in case of connection via
SCART-socket, switch television set to the AV-channel.
4.- In case of connection via RF-connector, tune SAT-receiver to
television set (with the help of the internal receiver pattern).
5.- Switch on
mode or HIGH mode.
6.- Tune on the SAT-receiver one pilot IF frequency (1050 MHz, 1575
MHz or 2100 MHz) on L band. On the television set, there must be
visible a picture with two black and one white bar.
If, in addition, the SAT-receiver is tuned in the audio stage to 7.02
MHz (± 0.2 MHz), a tone of approximately 1 kHz will be audible in the TV
set.
Consequently, the video and audio stage of the SAT-receiver can
be checked.

4 MAINTENANCE
The method of maintenance to be carried out by the user
consists of cleaning the cover. All other operations should be
carried out by authorised agents or by personnel qualified in
the service of instruments.
4.1 Cleaning recommendations
CAUTION
Do not use scented hydrocarbons or chlorides solvents.
Such products may attack the materials used in the
construction of the cover.
The cover should be cleaned by means of a light solution
of detergent and water applied with a soft cloth.
Dry thoroughly before using the system again.
