Model: HDMT 263

Type: Assembly Instructions Manual

This manual is also suitable for

HDMT 265

GSS HDMT 263 is a digital modulator that enables you to convert two incoming COFDM-modulated signals into two outgoing COFDM-modulated signals with freely selectable frequency. It's HF outputs can be set between 90 and 269 MHz (VHF) or 470 MHz and 862 MHz (UHF). Each of the two modulator's channel strips is equipped with an HF input, an HF loop-through output, and one F connector for HF output. The device can be programmed using the head-end station's control panel and requires software version "V8" or higher on the control panel to operate.

2.4 descrIptIon

The HDMT 263 and HDMT 265 modules, in the following called COFDM mod-

ules, are frequency converters and convert two incoming COFDM

-modulated

signals into two outgoing COFDM-modulated signals with free selectable fre-

quency (HDMT 263 –> VHF / HDMT 265 –> UHF, see Technical Data page 4).

The

COFDM

modules are programmed via the

head-end station

control panel.

Each

COFDM

module is equipped with two channel strips ("A", "B") which

are indicated in the control panel display as "Bx…A" and "Bx…B".

or each

channel strip, there is an HF input and a loop-through output, as well as one F

connector (HF output) for both channel strips

When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the

"SETUP" menu and the software version of the control panel. In this menu the

output level of the head-end station can be set.

To operate these modules the software version of the control panel must be

"V8" or higher. You can find the current operating software on the website

"www.gss.de".

The

COFDM

modules are designed exclusively for use in the STC 160 head-

end station.

- 6 - HDMT 263, HDMT 265

3 InstallatIon

– Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate.

Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any

other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.

– Before installing or changing a module, switch off the head-end station or

unplugthepowercablefromthemainspowersocket.

 – TakemeasurestoprotectagainstESD!

 •

Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly

instructions for the STC 160.

3.1 InstallIng the cofdm module

– WheninstallingtheCOFDMmodule,makesurethatitisinsertedinalong

groove in front of a contact strip on the board at the rear wall of the hous-

ing.

– The shorter grooves without a contact strip on the board at the rear wall of

the housing are for add-on modules only.

 • Insertthe

COFDM

module in grooves A and B of an open slot (with con-

tact strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing) .

 • Gentlyslidethe

COFDM

module into the head-end station and ensure that

itmakescontactwiththecontactstripontheboardattherearwallofthe

housing.

3.2 connectIng the cofdm module

Please observe the notes on connecting the modules in the assembly instruc-

tions of the STC 160 head-end station.

 • ConnectHFinputsC on the

COFDM

module with the corresponding cable

terminals.

 • Afterprogramming,connectthemodulatoroutputD with one of the input

socketsE on the output collector.

 •

Terminate unused loop-through outputs H with 75 Ω resistors (scope of

delivery)

Note:

At the loop-through outputs

the HF signals of the according HF inputs

are available.

4.1 menu Items

Program the

COFDM

module using the buttons on the head-end station control

unit. The menus appear on the two-line display of the control unit.

The parameters and functions to be set are underlined.

You can use the button to select the following menu items:

– Selecting the module and channel strip

– Switching the modulator on/off

– Channel selection / frequency selection

– Output channel / output frequency

– Output level

– Output bandwidth

– Channel selection / frequency selection

– Input channel / input frequency

– Save data

5 programmIng

The following examples show

how the

HDMT 265

module is programmed. You

can set

HDMT 263

in the same way.

– To avoid interferences at an activated channel strip a channel must be pro-

grammed and a corresponding aerial signal must be connected. A terminat-

ing resistor is not sufficient.

 – Whenconvertinginputchannelswhoselowerorupperflankingchannelis

alsoinuse,donotusethecorresponding(upperorlower)flankingchannel

of the output channel.

– The COFDM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of 8 MHz. This

means that you can only use the channel centre frequency of the existing

channel grid in the range of channels C21…C69 (frequency grid 8 MHz).

The CCIR channel grid is 7 MHz in the range of the lower frequency bands

(channelsC5…C12).If8MHzCOFDMsignalpackagesaretransmitted

in these channel ranges, this will result in interference (overlapping) and

transmission problems.

For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency ranges

belowthem,werecommendstartingwithfrequency306MHzgoingback

in steps of 8 MHz (see frequency table on page 20). Please note thereby that

many receivers cannot receive the channel ranges S21…S41 (306 …

466 MHz).

– When converting the S 7 … S 20, including C 5 … C 12 (bandwidth

7 MHz) input channels to the C 21 … C 69 (bandwidth 8 MHz) output

channels, note that these can only be received from devices that process

stations in the UHF range with a 7 MHz bandwidth.

– If you convert VHF channels into VHF channels of other frequencies, you

must set the output signal bandwidth at 7 MHz in the "BANDWIDTH" menu

(see page 16).

– When converting the S 21 … C 69 channels to S 9 … S 16 output chan-

nels, including C 5 … C 12, set the bandwidth to 8 MHz for the output

channel in the "BANDWIDTH" menu.

Note that the converted stations can only be received by devices in the VHF

range that process stations with a bandwidth of 8 MHz.
