System Installer must adhere to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and species
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry
as possible.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Each unit is shipped factory tested. Ensure all items are removed from the container prior to discarding any packing material.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for shipping damage with particular attention to connectors and controls. If there is any sign of damage
to the unit or damaged or loose connectors contact your distributor immediately. Do not put the equipment into service if there is
any indication of defect or damage.
It is highly recommended that quality cables and connectors be used for all video and audio source connections.
1. The unit comes with Component, Composite and S-Video inputs. Component Video Cable, connect the Y (Green), Pb (Blue),
and Pr (Red) video source cable to the unit’s Component input ports. If using a Composite Video source, use a cable with RCA
connectors to connect the video source (e.g., CATV, DVD, VCR, Camera) to the unit’s CVBS port. If using a S-Video source,
use an S-Video cable to connect the video source to the units S-Video port.
2. Audio inputs: Connect A/V audio input (Left / Right Audio) use RCA cables to connect the audio source to the red / white
AUDIO L and AUDIO R INPUT jacks.
3. Be sure the video and audio connections for each source are consistent with the unit’s inputs.
4. Use a quality 75Ω coaxial cable with “F” connectors from the unit’s RF OUT socket to the distribution system (combiner or
reverse splitter) or directly to a television.
5. Connect the included power adaptor to the unit’s POWER socket.
6. Connect the power adaptor to an appropriately rated AC power outlet.
To setup and program the Encoder you can use the GUI interface or the LCD Front Panel.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable directly (no Cross Over cable required) to the Web Management Port on the rear panel of the
encoder or connect the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch. Connect an Ethernet Cable to your PC.
2. Using a Windows-based PC Select Windows Icon
3. Go to My Computer
4. Select Network
5. Allow UPnP to locate and list the device(s) in the right panel
6. Right Click and Select “View device Webpage”.

The following changes are required when using multiple modulators in the same installation (stacking) -
• Output channel - Default is 39 UHF (606.5 MHz). If the modulators are on the same output channel as another
modulator or FTA channel the TV will not scan the channel in. Place all modulators on available channels between 6
to 12 VHF and 28 to 51 UHF (including adjacent channels - 38, 39, 40, etc.)
Note - if you plan on using channel 52 to 69 be aware of LTE transmissions as they may interfere with each other. We
recommend installing a lter.
• LCN (Logic Channel Number) - default 101. If TV tuner receives two or more LCN’s on the same number, including
FTA channels - the TV will automatically place the LCN on a free range. In Australia this is 350 and up. Suggest to go
101, 102, 103, etc.
• Channel Name - default “CHANNEL-1” this is necessary but recommended for clients to be able to identify
channels. For example “APPLE-TV”, “FOXTEL”, “DVD”, etc.
• TS ID (Transport Stream) - Default can vary per product. You will need to adjust the TS ID # on each additional
modulator up one number per modulator. For example if default is “TS ID #1” - leave on “TS ID #1”, place 2nd
modulator on “TS ID #2”, 3rd on “TS ID #3”, etc. If the TS ID is the same number the TV tuner will not scan both
channels in.
• Program Number - Default can vary per product. You may need to adjust each additional modulator Program
Number up one number per modulator. For example, if default is “Program Number - 1” - leave on “Program Number
- #1”, place 2nd modulator on “Program Number - #2”, 3rd on “Program Number - #3”, etc. If the Program Number is
the same number the TV tuner will not scan both channels in.
Note - most TVs do not have an issue with this setting but we recommend changing it just in case.
