1 safety regulations and notes

• Assembly, installation and servicing should be carried out by authorised

electricians.

• Switch off the operating voltage of the system before beginning with assem-

bly or service work or pull out the mains plug.

• Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms.

• Install the system so it will not be able to vibrate…

- in a dust-free, dry environment

- in such a manner that it is protected from moisture, fumes, splashing wa-

ter and dampness

- somewhere protected from direct sunlight

- not within the immediate vicinity of heat sources

- in an ambient temperature of 0 °C to +50 °C. In case of the formation of

condensation wait until the system is completely dried.

• Ensure that the head-end station is adequately ventilated. Do not cover the

ventilation slots.

• Beware of short circuits

• No liability is accepted for any damage caused by faulty connections or

inappropriate handling.

• Observe the relevant standards, regulations and guidelines on the installa-

tion and operation of antenna systems.

• The standards EN/DIN EN 50083-2 resp. IEC/EN/DIN EN 60728-11 must

be observed.

• For further information please read the assembly instructions for the head-

end station used.

• Test the software versions of the head-end station and the cassette and

update them if necessary. The current software versions can be found at

"www.mygss.eu".

Take action to prevent static discharge when working on the device!

Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish. In

accordance with directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the

European Council from January 27, 2003 which addresses old electronic and

electrical devices, such devices must be disposed of at a designated collection

facility. At the end of its service life, please take your device to one of these

public collection facilities for proper disposal.

2.4 des Cri P tion

The modulator converts channels from the ASI input into one DVB-S trans-

ponder.

The cassette has one RF output as well as an ASI input (ASI – Asynchronous

Serial Interface acc. DIN EN 50083-9).

From the transport stream fed via the ASI socket services can be removed.

ge neral

The cassette is designed for operation with a PADE 4000.

The ASI output signal of the PADE 4000 is fed into the ASI input.

Individual services can be removed via the program filter.

—> Note the maximum possible output data rate of 72.573 Mbits/s,

which depends on the DVB-S output parameter settings!

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

software version of the control unit.

To operate this cassette the software version of the control unit must be "V 45"

or higher. You can find the current operating software for the control unit and

the cassette, the software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on

the website "www.mygss.eu".

The cassette is intended for use in GSS.modular professional head-end stations.

Control unit

If necessary, you can activate the indication of the software version of the

control unit manually:

• Press any two keys on the control unit of the head-end station simultaneously

until the display goes dark and the software version, e.g. "V 45" appears.

After activating the cassette the software version of the cassette is displayed

(see page 13).

PSU 8-16

• PADE 4000 converts the video signal into an ASI signal.

• PAMS 4000 converts the ASI signal into a Sat IF signal at 950 MHz.

—> The frequency of the RF output signal of the PAMS 4000 must be set

to the frequency of the input crossover.

GL 100

• GL 100 converts the satellite signal (vertical and horizontal) into a satellite

IF band with 950...5450 MHz.

Vertical input frequency LO = 9750 MHz 10700...12750 MHz corre-

sponds to 950...3000 MHz at output

Horizontal input frequency LO = 7300 MHz 10700...12750 MHz corre-

sponds to 3400...5450 MHz at output

Feed-in switch

• The feed-in switch inserts the Sat IF signal of the PAMS 4000 at 950 MHz

at the lower end of the vertical plane.

SOC 100

• The Sat IF signals 950...5450 MHz are then converted into an optical sig-

nal and output via two parallel optical outputs (FC connections, wavelength

1310 nm). The optical output power of +7 dBm allows distribution to up to

64 distribution points (32 per output) within a 10 km radius.

3.1 ins ta l lin g t h e C ass ette

– 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 cassette unplug the power cable from the

mains power socket.

• Remove the fastening screws 1 of an unoccupied slot from the bracket of

the head-end station.

• Insert the cassette in this slot and push it into the housing.

• Align the cassette and apply slight pressure to connect it to the connections

of the board.

• Fasten the cassette with the screws 1.

• Insert the cable termi nal together with the contact washers in a correspond-

ing open ing (knock-out). Therefore observe the EMC regulations on page 9.

- 9 - PAMS 4000

3.2 emC reg u l atio n s

To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines

leading in and out of the head-end station using cable terminals.

When mounting the cassette in a head-end station which is installed in a 19"

cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for the 19" cabinet are

made using cable terminals.

CLASS

KLASSE

The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for ASI and antenna must

meet the requirements for "Class A".

• Insert the required number of cable terminals in the openings provided in

the head-end station or in the 19" cabinet.

Tighten the nuts on the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washer have

penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the

housing and cable terminals.

The operating software of the cassette can be updated via the

9-pin D-SUB socket "RS 232" using a PC or notebook and the

software "BE-Flash". You can find the current operating soft-

ware on the website "www.mygss.eu".

3.4 Co nneC tin g t h e C ass ette

• Connect the ASI output of an PADE 4000 to the ASI input 3 of the

PAMS 4000.

• Connect RF output 2 of the PAMS 4000 via an F feedthrough from the

head-end station (see page 8).

• Connect the head-end station to the mains.

In this menu you can set the symbol rate, the Spectral position and the code

rate of the output signal.

—> Modulation schemes such as QPSK transmit multiple bits simultane-

ously. These are referred to as symbols. In addition to the user data

flow which transmits video and audio information, error correction

bits are transferred. The FEC number states the ratio of user bits to

the complete transmitted bits.

SYMBOL

Symbol rate:

• Use the buttons to position the cursor under the digit of the displayed

symbol rate (5000…45000 kSymb/s).

•

Press to set the respective digit of the symbol rate.

• Repeat the procedure by the quantity of the digits to be set.

Spectral position – inverting the user signal

For exceptional cases and "older" digital receivers, the spectral position of the

user signal can be inverted "NEG"

. The default setting is

"POS".

• Use to place the cursor under "POS".

• Use to set the spectral position to "NEG".

Code rate (FEC):

—> During a transmission data can be lost or changed. To recover this

data redundancy is added to the signal to be transmitted (forward

error correction – FEC). The factor of the quantity of redundancy

contained in the bits transmitted is called code rate.

Using the setting "7/8" you can get the highest output data rate at

lowest error correction.

• Use to place the cursor under

Use to set the required code rate ("1/2", "2/3", "3/4", "5/6", "7/8").

6 final ProCedures

After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing cas-

settes it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, cable terminals and cover

screws in order to maintain compliance with current EMC regulations securely.

• Securely tighten the cable connections using an appropriate open-ended

spanner.

• Measure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform

output level using the appropriate level controls or software dependent on

the head-end station used. Please regard the assembly instructions of the

respective head-end station.

• Mount the front cover (see assembly instructions of the head-end station).
