Brand: GSS

Model: PROFESSIONAL PSCU 6000

Category: Measuring & layout tools

Type: Assembly Instructions Manual

GSS PROFESSIONAL PSCU 6000 is a versatile monitoring cassette that allows for precise measurements and monitoring of various signal types, including analog TV picture carriers, QAM signals, and FM carriers. With its wide input frequency range, it can handle signals from channels C2 to C69, S2 to S41, and 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz.

The device features a built-in modulator that enables the generation of analog TV channels within the frequency range of 471.25 MHz to 855.25 MHz, providing an output level of 100 dBµV. The modulator can be conveniently switched on or off as needed.

The monitoring cassette PSCU6000,inthefollowingcalledcassette,isusedto

provide the output levels and the output data of the head-end stations monitored

via an info channel in the cable network. The info channel is programmable in

therangeofC21…C69.

The following parameters are controlled:

 – AnalogTVchannels:HFlevelandsynchronizationpulse.

 – DigitalTVchannels: HFlevel,BER(BitErrorRate).

 – Radiostations: HFlevel,RDSidentifier

 Theinfochannelcontainsthechannelsofthecablenetworkset,theappropri-

atechannelnames(identifiedfromtheRDSresp.VPSdata),thebiterrorrate

(BER) and the output level of the respective channels. In addition the signals

fed via the audio and video sockets can be transmitted via the info channel or

the data of the info channel can be provided as audio and video signals.

Is the cassette connected to a corresponding management unit via the "RS-232"

socket,errormessagescanbesentviaphone,informofe-mailorSNMPin-

configuration is to be done with the help of a PC and the PSW 1000 software.

For this observe the operation instruction of the PSW1000software,tobe

downloaded from our home page "www.gss.de".

To operate this cassette the software version of the control unit must be "V 44"

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.gss.de".

The cassette is intended for use in the

PROFI-LINE

– 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.

 – Toensureahighermeasurementaccuracy,heatingupof thecassette

should be kept as low as possible. Therefore we recommend to fit the

cassette into the first slot of the head-end station.

3.3 emC regul ations

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.
