Introduction
The TDH800 headend accommodates up to 16 input modules and 6
quad output modules. 24 RF channels are accommodated.
All incoming signals from input modules initially arrive in a ‘pool’, where
they are converted to defined output signals, after which the converted
signals are fed to output modules.
Note:
Some specific broadcast types are not generated in the ‘pool’ but
rather in the various output modules.

wall.
Attach the mounting brackets to the headend with the supplied screws.
Installation Bracket position
Rack At the front of the headend.
Wall
At the rear of the headend.
Attach the headend to the wall or onto a system rack.
Ventilation
requirements
Ensure that min. 10cm ventilation space is available on both
sides and at the front of the headend.
Power/Earth
1. Connect an earth cable to the Earth terminal.

Resetting the
IP address
The IP address of a headend unit can be returned to the factory
default address by using the IP address reset dial.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Set the IP address reset dial to "7".
3. Turn on the power.
The LEDs flash red and yellow until the process of resetting the IP
address has been completed.
The LEDs show green-constant if the reset process was successful.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Set the IP address reset dial back to the initial setting.
3. Turn on the power.
The IP address has been reset to the factory default.
Input modules

Input modules
You can install up to 16 input modules in the headend.
Input module
types
Each input module is identified through the use of a specifically
coloured label. The label also indicates the module type’s name and
associated item number. The remainder of the label is used for noting
post-installation module information.
Another label containing a barcode and serial number is located on the
underside of the input module.

Attaching cables
1. Attach the signal cables to the ‘IN’ connector on the input module.
Note:
Ensure that enough cable is available for relocating input modules to
alternate input slots at a later date.
Looping cables
Signals can be looped between DVB-S/S2 input modules:
1. Attach the signal cable to the IN port on one DVB-S/S2 input
module.
2. Attach a loop cable to the OUT port on the same input module.
3. Attach the other end of the loop cable to the IN port on another
DVB-S/S2 input module.
Removing input
modules
1. Remove the signal cable from the module.
2. Remove the module from the headend with a flathead screwdriver.
3. Pull the module out of the headend.
Moving input
modules
1. Remove the module from the headend with a flathead screwdriver.
2. Pull the module out of the headend.
