2.2 Location and Mounting

Unity 552 User’s Manual

The Unity 552 may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or set up for desktop operation. In either location, maintain a clean, dry environment for the

Precautions FCC-Mandated Suppression of Radio Frequency Emissions

WARNING

DANGER

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference for which the user may need to take mitigating action.

If the Ethernet port has a cable connected to it, that cable must be properly shielded and grounded to minimize RF emissions that could interfere with nearby equipment.

To avoid damage to the Unity 552 unit and other equipment, or personal injury, the following items should be strictly observed.

Elevated Ambient Operating Temperatures in Rack-Mounted Units

When equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room's ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to the ambient air temperature within the rack (not just inside the room) when deciding if the maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) is met or exceeded.

Reduced Air Flow

Equipment should be installed such that the airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The spaces between units, if heat buildup is prevented by ensuring that the side vents remain unblocked, and that there is adequate clearance around the vent holes.

Unity 552 may be arranged in a rack without empty

Unity 552.

Mechanical Loading

Rack-mounted equipment should be installed in such a way that a hazardous condition is not produced by uneven loading. The

www.wegener.com 800089-01 Rev. C 11

Unity 552 unit is not very heavy, but total rack loading

Installation

must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported equipment on a rack-mounted Unity

552

unit.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Ensure that the total rack or breaker power consumption does not exceed the limits of the AC branch circuit. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing

When connecting the Unity 552 unit to the power supply, review the ratings of all equipment in the circuit to ensure that the branch circuit, as well as the power source, will not be overloaded. Also make sure that the unit is properly grounded and/or that a protected power strip is used to attach it to the power supply

Rack Mounting

The Unity 552 unit should be installed in such a way that a half-inch clearance is allowed on each side and a quarter-inch on the top to ensure adequate air flow. Ensure that a hazardous condition is not produced by uneven loading, or by resting any unsupported equipment on a rack-mounted

Unity 552 unit.

Parts for the Unity 552 unit include 2 angle rack mount brackets and 4 rubber feet. For rack mounting, do not attach the rubber feet as they interfere with the rack mounting.

1. Remove the 2 screws from the left and right sides of the unit.

2. Insert the angle brackets into the left and right sides of the unit ensuring that the screw holes for the unit and brackets are aligned.

3. Secure the brackets by re-inserting the screws through the brackets and unit.

4. Install the unit onto the rack.

Note: The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If the front brackets are left

unsecured, the unit may shift forward and fall from the rack, and may result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. The internal temperature of the

rack should not exceed 40

Desktop Installation

Parts for the Unity 552 unit include 2 angle rack mount brackets and 4 rubber feet. For desktop installation, do not attach the brackets.

1. Attach the 4 rubber feet onto the indented areas at the bottom of the unit.

2. Place the unit on a flat surface where it will not be subject to spills or impacts.

3. Route cables to the unit so that they will not be hit or pulled, causing damage to the connectors or to the unit itself. Ensure a sufficient flow of cool air so that the unit's operating ambient temperature range is not exceeded.

carrier’s tag frequency.

[program] The program number from the MPEG Program Association Table. This

must be number from 1 to 65535. If omitted or an ‘*’ is entered, the unit will select the first available program stream. Note that this number points to the PID for the Program Map Table for what we might call a “service” (a single video channel and associated audio signals).

Label A string of characters for identification.

1. it times out,

2. an ABORT command is received,

3. power is cycled, or

4. an invalid header is seen.

Any Temp commands received while the receiver is currently inserting are ignored. If a Perm command is received while inserting, the perm settings are updated but not acted on until the insert is terminated.

The perm settings are entered via Compel, the PERM / PERMCH terminal, or OSD Carrier Select screen, or automatically from within a search mode. (See below.) The perm settings are the only settings group that are stored in NVRAM.

unit finds what it is looking for in the search mode, it copies the search settings to the perm settings. These are then considered to be the active settings.

4.2 Settings Table (or Search Table)

Description

This is an internal database retained in non-volatile memory (unaffected by loss of power). It contains a list of alternate carrier settings. Each valid entry is a complete description of a carrier/program setting (as used in a Perm command). This list is entered at customer request at the factory, and may be edited using terminal commands. The entries are referred to as "Table Entries" or "Search Settings Entries", etc.

The Settings Table is typically used for one of two possible operations. The first is for local users to quickly pre-program carrier/program combinations and tune the IRD to one of them. The second is as a source of alternate fallback carriers for times when the "normal" carrier is lost or has a failure in its

4.3 Signal Quality Monitoring

The Unity 552 provides monitoring of different parameters of RF signal quality while tracking a carrier.

Note: Beyond 15 dB, Eb/No readings are not accurate. For the following inner FEC ratios,

display any Eb/No values above the limits shown as >xx dB: R=1/2, Eb/No >14.0 dB; R=2/3, Eb/No>13.5 dB; R=3/4, Eb/No>13.0 dB; R=5/6, Eb/No>12.5 dB; R=7/8, Eb/No>12.0 dB. Note that margin may also “top out” as a >yy dB value also.

Label A string of characters for identification.

4.4 Frequency Tagging

General Rules

Frequency Tagging is a mechanism that is used to ensure that an IRD is locked to desired carrier settings. Sometimes, due to minor offsets in LNB and frequency errors, tuning may be off by a couple of MHz. To prevent locking to some other near by (adjacent) carrier while looking for an intended carrier, the acquired carrier contains "frequency tags." These tags are inserted in

Compel control stream at the uplink to identify the intended carrier frequency.

Traditionally, the tags have been sent at a rate of every 100 or 125 ms.

The Unity 552 supports both single and multiple tags. A carrier settings with "Tag Site" number, specifies which of the possible tags the IRD need to use. The Tag Site designations from 0 to 15, inclusive. The tag '15' is reserved for an exception. If the Carrier Setting shows Tag Site '15', the Carrier Tags are not required.

The SCPC Frequency Tag Protocol Functional Specification (WCI #16803) gives more details.
