Safety and Compliance

Issue No: 1 Page: 1

1. Safety and Compliance

WARNING: Earth all mains power equipment.

CAUTION: Achieve connection and disconnection from the mains supply through

a detachable mains cord. This must be of a suitable rating and cross-

sectional area, as well as approved to the relevant national standards

for the country in use. The cord or its plug must be easily accessible to

allow quick disconnection

CAUTION: Replacement fuses must be of identical ratings to the original parts

fitted, i.e. T5A H250.

CAUTION: Operate the equipment within environmental limits and ensure as

much ventilation as possible (normally 0°C - 50°C <99% humidity).

CAUTION: Only allow authorized personnel to remove protective covers or open

the product. Any repair or warranty is invalid if the seals are broken.

The equipment is CE compliant. Technical files are available on request.

1.1. General Safety Information

To ensure awareness of potential hazards, all personnel concerned with the

operation or maintenance of the equipment must study the information that

follows, together with local site regulations.

CAUTION: We strongly recommended returning all RF equipment to Vislink for

servicing.

WARNING: GaAs / BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment

contain Gallium Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic

substances. Whilst safe to handle under normal circumstances,

individual components must not be cut, broken apart, incinerated or

chemically processed. In the case of Beryllium Oxide, a white ceramic

material, the principal hazard is from the dust or fumes, which are

carcinogenic if ingested, inhaled or entering damaged skin.

Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.

WARNING: Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward

voltage, ripple current or temperature these components may rupture

and could potentially cause personal injury.

CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Employ Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD) precautions to prevent accidental damage.

SERVICE PERSONNEL - CAUTION

extreme heat sources can cause them to rupture or explode.

WARNING: DO NOT dispose of any of the supplied equipment as household

waste. The supplied equipment is not biodegradable in landfill sites.

For safe disposal of the supplied equipment, take it to your local

(council/authority) environmental waste site. For details, contact your

local authority/recycling center.

NOTE: In Europe dispose of all equipment in accordance with the European

Environmental directive.

1.3. Environmental

CAUTION: Protect the unit from dripping or splashing water/fluids. When used

outdoors, protect the unit using a rain cover.

This displays, at a glance, the summary current frequency selection and

demodulation parameters. The top line also displays the video format detected

by the decoder.

Frequency – allows the setting of the received frequency, displayed either as

direct L-Band (LO=0) or if an LO value set representing the LNB LO, then this

shows the satellite frequency.

Rate – This is the required symbol rate entry.

All other aspects of RF demodulation are automatic and the third line on the

display shows the received information.

Pressing the MENU key navigates to the main setup menus. Pressing MENU

again at any point returns to this display.

4.1.1. Setup Inputs

1. From the startup screen, press menu key to navigate to TUNER.

2. Press ENTER and then select SETUP INPUTS.

Choices here are:

 Input select: Choose RF 1 or RF 2.

The following parameters can be set for each RF input.

 Frequency, set the required receive frequency, displayed in MHz. If the

LO frequency is zero then this is the direct L-band frequency in the range

950 – 2150MHz.

 Symbol Rate: set the required symbol rate.

 LNB 1 (2) LO: Set the required local oscillator value of the LNB in use for

example 9750MHz.

 LNB 1 (2) Mix: this can be changed if the LNB has a non-standard local

oscillator that inverts the spectrum.

 LNB 1 (2) DC supply: this sets the voltage applied to the LNB and set

whether horizontal or vertical mode based on the voltage. Nominal

voltages are 13V or 18V. There is also a boost option for long cables,

which adds 1V to each output.

 LNB 1 (2) 22KHz: this is used for some types of LNB that have band

switching based on the presence of the 22 KHz tone.

With the video format mode set to auto, the current detected format displays.

In Manual, select the format from the menu list.

Force to PSF is available for non-UHD formats.

Set the delay mode of the decoder to match that of the transmitter.

UHD formats set the mode of the video outputs to either quad-split (4 x 3G) or

2SI.

NOTE: When the unit is set to quad-split output, the delay is fixed. Set the

Monitor output to SDI or ASI.

With the monitor set to SDI, with quad split output and decoding UHD formats,

the SDI monitor either displays individual selected quadrants or displays each

quadrant in 15-second intervals.

4.2.6. Genlock

Genlock controls the mode of operation for video synchronization.

 OFF, uses the Transport stream PCR to maintain timing.

 ON (external) uses tri-level or composite sync to provide the timing

reference.

NOTE: Using ON (external) adds 40ms delay to the system (internal or external).

 ON (internal) references the video to an internal oscillator.

When ON, the line & pixel offsets are adjustable.

The line number is adjustable between 0 and 1124. For negative offsets use

values between 0 and 540, for positive offsets use the formula, 1124 minus the

offset required as the front panel value. Pixel offset range is 0 to 2749.
