General information
The processing units in the TMB10 range are used to selectively filter analogue and digital UHF channels. These units also couple and amplify VHF programmes according to the satellite band model (IF).
TMB10 units have one amplified wide band coupling input; 10 UHF filters, distributed over 3 inputs with programmable bandwidth from 1 to 7 channels (8 to 56 MHz), making it suitable for most situations.
An individual setting for each filter or frequency band, and automatic control of the UHF output level, for aligning service plan levels.

Safety Instructions
Important: The unit should only be opened by a qualified technician.
•Disconnect the unit before carrying out any work on it, as some powered components are dangerous (risk of electrical shock).
•To maintain the temperature of the unit within its normal operating range, ensure the free circulation of air around the unit (avoid placing it in enclosed spaces). The ventilation grids must be free of any obstruction.
•Ensure that no liquids can penetrate inside the unit (splashes and/or run off).
•Do not install the unit in a damp place. If there are traces of condensation on the unit, do not use it until it has dried completely.
•The mains power cable and the HF connection cables must be in good condition and free to move (neither crushed nor obstructed).
•The mains plug, easily accessible for the technician, must be out of reach of children.
Earthing the unit
•Your aerial installation must comply with the requirements specified by the European provisions EN 50083 (conformity of collective installations) and EN 60065 (standards in force for electrical protection).
Replacing fuses
•Only a qualified technician can replace defective fuses.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
•Ensure that the screws on the box are properly tightened.
•Cables and connection terminals should show no signs of rust.

GB
Installing the unit
We recommend you install the unit in a sufficiently ventilated place. Natural ventilation must be able to occur through the ventilation grids; leave a minimum space of 15 cm around the unit to ensure maximum ventilation.
When installing or cabling the unit, we recommend you disconnect the mains power cable.
Connecting the unit
Note: UHF inputs are remotely supplied and protected against short circuits. The power available is 12 or 24V, 50mA max. The preamplifier is detected automatically; only the remote power voltage can be programmed.

• all the UHF filters are deactivated (display "- -"),
• the attenuators are at zero.
Factory reset
If necessary, to revert to factory settings, follow the procedure below:
1.Disconnect the power cable
2.Press the esc button and hold it
3.Connect the power cable
The unit erases all the programming parameters, including the PIN code, and switches to standby mode.
•You can release the esc button when the display shows “8888”
Date of manufacture
If necessary, to consult the unit’s date of manufacture and version, press the button - & +. For 2 seconds, the unit displays the date of manufacture in the format; A-SS with A being the last digit of the year of manufacture, SS the week of manufacture.
